Best Answer

A tensor bandage is used for compression/support of a strain/sprain or general support of a previously injured area (sports tape works well too) as well as compression of a swollen area as result of possible fracture (be careful and consult physician) also useful for holding a cold pack in place never apply so tight that skin becomes cyanotic (blueish) and always check for adequate distal pulse when possible
