3M Nexcare Athletic Wrap 3 x 7.5 cm 1 unit

3M Nexcare Athletic Wrap is a bandage made of lightweight, thin, breathable material that allows air to circulate so that the injury remains dry and sweat-free. It can be cut to size without losing its structure and adheres to itself to facilitate compression and avoid the use of clips or hooks.

It is lengthwise elastic, self-adhesive and resistant to water and sweat. It is practical and functional for supporting, protecting and securing injuries to ankles, elbows, knees and wrists. It retains compression and support even when wet or if the wearer is involved in high-intensity, endurance sports.

It is effective for immobilising different joints and preventing injuries in people who have to lift heavy objects. It can also be used to hold dressings on arms, legs or back, as it does not come off when in contact with sweat or constant movement, maintaining its compression and fixation.

It can be easily removed without leaving sticky residue on the skin, facilitates adhesion and should not be wrapped too tightly so as not to interrupt circulation and cause more complex injuries. During use it is advisable to check the area frequently, at least once a day.

It should be removed if swelling, severe pain, numbness, tingling or change in skin colour is noticed, and a doctor should be notified. Once it is removed, it cannot be reused, because it has lost its adherence and properties. This type of bandage is widely used in sports, health and physiotherapy, and can even be used to protect injuries to pets.
