Different functional requirements put forward different requirements for the performance of
heavy-duty elastic bandages. The following are the requirements for several common functions:
Support functions:
Strength and stability: For areas that need to provide support, heavy-duty elastic bandages need to have sufficient strength and stability to effectively support joints or muscle tissue and reduce the burden on the injured area.
Stretchability: While providing support, heavy-duty elastic bandages need to have a certain amount of stretchability to ensure flexibility and comfort and avoid restricting range of motion.
Protective function:
Buffering and shock-absorbing: For parts that need protection, such as joints, muscles or bones, heavy-duty elastic bandages need to have good buffering and shock-absorbing properties, which can effectively reduce the impact of external impact or vibration on the body.
Protect the skin: The surface of the bandage needs to be smooth and soft, without damaging the skin, and at the same time breathable and sweat-absorbent to prevent skin allergies or pain caused by long-term use of the bandage.
Stress Relief Features:
Uniform pressure distribution: For areas that need to relieve pressure, heavy-duty elastic bandages need to be able to evenly distribute pressure to avoid problems such as poor blood circulation and tissue damage caused by excessive local pressure.
Moderate pressure: The pressure exerted by the bandage needs to be moderate, which can relieve the pressure without causing insufficient local blood circulation or local abnormal sensation.
Sports support features:
Elasticity and adaptability: For areas that need to provide movement support, heavy-duty elastic bandages need to be elastic and adaptable enough to follow the movement of the body and maintain a tight fit.
Anti-slip and anti-falling: During exercise, the bandage needs to be firmly fixed on the body to prevent sliding or falling off and ensure the stability and safety of movement.
