3MCoban™ Self-Adherent Wrap 1583B, 3 Inch x 5 Yards, 24 Bags/Case

The only thing I don’t like about this is at the very end when I’m finishing wrapping my leg it’s hard to unwrap the last of the gauze. If you purchase this you’ll know what I mean. Other than that they work really well with getting the swelling down in my legs.

It's great to use.

Even compression was easy to achieve. I had to apply compression to my calf for three months and for me this wrap made it easy to apply tight enough without cutting off circulation.

Lots of self-adhesive brands out there, but the 3M product is the best I have used, even if it costs a bit more. Had surgery on my foot and have to change the dressing daily, so I need something easy to use that stays put. Coban does.

A review from Mrs. L-I always keep a variety of sizes of Coban around the house for emergencies. A few years ago I saw an Occupational Therapist due to severe pain and inflammation in the joint that connects my thumb to my hand. I had been illustrating a book and was in agonizing pain from hours of drawing and coloring and shading pictures. My OT reached in her cabinet and pulled out a roll of 1" Coban and wrapped my thumb in a sort of sling which stabilized its position. Suddenly, pain is gone. I use it all the time now to reduce inflammation in my thumb when I am writing or drawing a lot. Coban is a wondrous product. It is flexible when you need it to be but it can also provide stable support. It can be difficult to use at first. It's best to have a medical professional demonstrate its use and function. I have to carefully pull and stretch Coban, while at the same time trying not to over- stretch it AND making sure it is adhering to itself, especially when you get to the end.I have also used Coban to hold gauze bandage securely in place around scraped ankle without having to use tape or band-aids. It kept the bandage in place quite well. I also like its use for compression like an Ace bandage. I am very careful not to use it so it is constraining because once it is in place, it doesn't budge. I am inclined to use caution and avoid wrapping it over and over in the same place. I think it is important anyone consult with a doctor, nurse or therapist regarding Coban's proper use, which is what I did.

Had stitches put in for a small cut on my left calf. Used gauze to protect the stitches and Coban to wrap the gauze. Looks clean and professionally applied.

This is the same wrap that my wound doctor uses over the Unna boot and is a LOT less expensive than what the my insurance company's contract price was that I have to pay. Needless to say that I stopped having my Unna boot wrap done at the wound center at the hospital. It is far less expensive to buy the Unna boot and wrap and take it with me to the doctor's office. The charge just for applying the Unna boot and wrap in the hospital was just over $94.00 each time. Between the cost of Unna boots and the wrap from Amazon the cost is less than the $94.00 and I have 12 applications worth of supply. The hospital would cost me $94 x 12 = $1,128. Sometimes finding the same products at Amazon that are used by hospitals and talking to your doctor about this kind of money saving finding will save you a lot of money. And consider that the $94.00 was MY part to pay after the insurance paid their part. If you have an ongoing medical application check AMAZON for the products used and the prices, march it to portion your insurance doesn't cover, then talk to your doctor about an alternative method. If your doctor is a caring person he/she should agree. If not, change your doctor because that one really doesn't have your best in his/her heart.

Like it.

Have used this brand of product for all my years of nursing and its the only one I will buy for our use. It reliably sticks well and can even be used again.

Great product, using it to wrap foot after surgery. Have used other similar products, this one works the best. Great self-adhesion.

This are great for strains or weak ankles.
