Discover how Tubigrip Tubular Bandages deliver the perfect balance of comfort, breathability, and adaptive compression.
Tubigrip bandages are specifically developed to provide targeted tissue support for the treatment and management of strains, sprains, and a wide range of soft tissue injuries.
- Versatile Clinical Applications: Ideal for managing general edema (swelling), post-burn scarring, and providing comfortable, flexible support for ribcage injuries.
- Freedom of Movement: Delivers effective and lasting therapeutic support while allowing patients to maintain a natural range of motion, aiding recovery and daily activity.
- Secure & Simple Application: Stays securely in position without the need for pins, clips, or adhesive tapes, unlike conventional bandages that can slip or require constant readjustment.
- Multi-Function Use: Commonly utilized for creating consistent pressure dressings and for gentle arm fixation, offering both compression and stabilization.
- Durable & Cost-Effective: Fully washable and reusable, providing long-term value and consistent performance through multiple uses.
- Material Composition: Tubigrip is constructed from a blend of viscose, elastane, and polyamide, delivering the perfect balance of comfort, breathability, and adaptive compression.
- Important Note: Contains latex.
- Measure the Circumference: Use a flexible tape measure to find the circumference of the specific joint or limb (knee, ankle, wrist, etc.) you need to support.
- Extend the Limb: Keep the limb straight (e.g., leg extended for the knee, arm straight for the elbow) for an accurate measurement.
- Calculate Flat Width: Divide your total circumference measurement by two.
- Consult the Size Chart: Match your calculated flat width to the corresponding Tubigrip size (e.g., Size D, E, F) on the product’s size guide.
- Consider Fluctuations: If swelling changes, take measurements at different times of the day.
- Size C: Medium arms, small ankles (approx. 7cm flat width).
- Size D: Large arms, medium ankles, small knees (approx. 8cm flat width).
- Size E: Large ankles, medium knees, small thighs (approx. 9cm flat width).
- Size F: Large knees, medium thighs (approx. 10cm flat width).

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes TubiGrip different from a regular elastic bandage or ACE wrap?
TubiGrip is a specifically engineered tubular bandage, distinct from traditional flat wrap bandages. Its unique, seamless circular knit design provides consistent, even pressure around the affected limb or body part without constricting joints or cutting off circulation. Unlike standard bandages, which can loosen and slip, TubiGrip stays securely in position without pins, clips, or adhesive tapes. This eliminates the need for frequent re-wrapping and the uneven pressure common with self-applied wraps.
Furthermore, its material—a blend of viscose, elastane, and polyamide—offers a superior balance of therapeutic compression, flexibility, and breathability. This construction allows for effective tissue support while actively promoting a natural range of motion. TubiGrip is also fully washable and reusable, making it a more durable and cost-effective solution for medium- to long-term treatment compared to single-use alternatives.
What conditions is TubiGrip most commonly used to treat?
TubiGrip is a versatile support bandage with broad clinical applications. It is most frequently employed in the treatment and management of common soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, and post-surgical edema (swelling). Its ability to provide gentle, graduated compression makes it ideal for controlling swelling and supporting injured areas during the healing process.
Beyond acute injuries, it is also effectively used for chronic condition management. This includes controlling edema in limbs, managing post-burn scarring through pressure therapy, and providing comfortable, flexible support for ribcage injuries. Additionally, its tubular form makes it excellent for creating secure pressure dressings over wounds and for gentle limb fixation when paired with other devices, offering both stabilization and compression in a single, easy-to-use product.
Is TubiGrip suitable for everyone, and are there any precautions?
While TubiGrip is suitable for a wide patient population, a crucial precaution must be noted: TubiGrip contains latex. Individuals with a known latex allergy should not use this product and must seek a latex-free alternative. For all users, it is vital to select the correct size, as specified in the product guides, to ensure effective and safe compression without impairing circulation.
It is designed as a supportive and compressive aid, not a primary wound dressing for open wounds. Always apply TubiGrip to clean, dry skin and monitor the area regularly. If the patient experiences increased pain, numbness, tingling, discoloration (e.g., blue or white fingers/toes), or increased swelling beyond the bandage, it should be removed immediately, as these may indicate the bandage is too tight. Consultation with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and application guidance is always recommended.
