Ideal bandages are the origin of today's bandages. In the early days, they were made of 100 per cent cotton and were simply boiled for "disinfection". Today, in addition to pure cotton bandages, there are a wide variety of mixed fabrics, mostly with polyamide and polyurethane. Their speciality is their elasticity, which makes them suitable as first aid material for various injuries to muscles and joints.

As standard, Ideal bandages are 5 metres long when stretched, the width varies between 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 cm. Our permanently elastic universal band age is available as a single bandage in a cellophane sleeve in various sizes. Our adhesive plasters are an alternative fixation aid to staples.
High-quality Ideal bandages are also permanently elastic. This means that once the fabric has been stretched, it contracts back to almost its original length. In practice, this prevents the bandage from wearing out due to permanent strain. For this reason, Ideal bandages are particularly suitable for treating musculoskeletal injuries.
Thanks to their versatility, textile elastic bandages are suitable for e.g. support bandages, relief bandages, fixing bandages, compression bandages, sports bandages, etc. ... and should therefore not be used in any dressing. ... and should therefore not be missing from any first aid kit.
Typical areas of application for a bandage made from an ideal bandage include sprains, strains, dislocations or torn muscle fibres. Here, either the injured body part can be immobilised or relieved or a certain amount of pressure can be exerted on the injured area to prevent swelling (compression). Compression bandages based on ideal bandages also usually provide significant relief in the case of joint inflammation or tendonitis. Pure compression bandages (also known as short-stretch bandages due to their elasticity) are used for venous disorders. However, Ideal bandages can do even more: they are also suitable for securing sterile wound dressings, applying a moist dressing and, if necessary, for securing splints.
