When talking about Elastic Adhesive Bandages(say EAB in the following passage), some of people will be confused. What is it?
It is a kind of single adhesive bandage with heavy elasticity which helps you to work as usual by wrapping your injured joints and tissues tightly. EAB is a fabric tape with an adhesive backing. The tape is usually made from a cotton-elastic mix, and the adhesive is usually latex-based or acrylic. Elastic adhesive bandage stretches. The degree of stretch varies with the brand. Generally, the more expensive tapes have more stretch, but there are exceptions. When it’s used for securing and protecting dressings over wounds it gives support and compression that reduces the risks of second injuries.
