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

How do you wrap tensor bandage?

To wrap a tensor bandage, start by positioning the bandage at the point of injury, ensuring the loose end is held securely. Begin wrapping in a spiral motion, overlapping each layer by about half the width of the bandage, and apply even tension to provide support without cutting off circulation. Secure the end with clips or adhesive tape, ensuring that the bandage is snug but not too tight, allowing for proper blood flow. Finally, check for any signs of discomfort or poor circulation in the wrapped area.
