This Latex Elastic Ace Bandage measures 3 inches x 5 yards and includes two metal clips. The main purpose of the Ace wrap is to reduce swelling and inflammation to promote adequate blood flow and healing. It can also be used as a compression bandage. You should have a least one Ace bandage in your first aid kits or stations.
It is recommended to only use elastic bandages in the first 24-48 hours after an injury. Make sure you combine rest and elevation with compression whenever it is possible. Do not wrap too tightly. Ace bandages do not provide support. They are for compression only.
