Flex1One Red Cohesive Bandage is a self-adhesive elastic bandage designed to offer support, compression and protection in multiple situations, both in the veterinary and human fields. The band, red in colour, has a width of 7.5 cm and a length of 4.5 metres, ensuring excellent coverage of the areas to be treated. The cohesive technology allows the bandage to adhere to itself without the need for clips or clips, making it easy to attach and remove without leaving residues on the skin or fur. This feature makes it ideal for applications that require a secure but easily removable fixation, making it particularly suitable for bandages, joint bandages, light immobilizations, wound protection and injury prevention in both pets and people. Flex1One is soft, flexible, allows good skin transpiration and does not limit movement, thus promoting comfort during prolonged use.
The role of the cohesive band is not limited to joint or muscle support only, but extends to the management of first aid situations, dressing coverage and haemostasis in the event of small cuts. It can be easily cut to the desired length and the 4.5 meter roll guarantees a long life even in case of frequent use. Flex1One is latex-free, therefore also suitable for sensitive or allergic subjects. The red color allows easy identification of the bandage for easier monitoring. Being light and space-saving, it can be taken anywhere and used even in outdoor emergency situations.
Therapeutic Indications
Flex1One Red Cohesive Bandage is indicated in all situations where you want to create a bandage that requires adhesion without the use of traditional adhesives or plasters. It is recommended for the protection of dressings, fixing gauze on wounds, light support of joints in cases of sprains or minor traumas, and as compression to control swelling and bruising. Widely used in veterinary medicine for bandaging pets such as dogs, cats, horses and small animals, it is also suitable for applications in humans such as in the treatment of sprains, in post-sports injury recovery, to protect areas at risk of chafing, or to immobilize the area after punctures or injections. Thanks to its controlled elasticity, the band adapts easily to all anatomical shapes, ensuring uniform pressure that promotes recovery and healing, without hindering blood circulation or causing irritation. It is particularly recommended for the rapid management of emergencies because it can be applied and removed with just a few gestures, respecting the patient's comfort and the cleanliness of the wound.
Composition
Flex1One Red Cohesive Band is mainly composed of high quality synthetic materials, selected to guarantee elasticity, resistance and skin tolerance. The fabric is latex-free, an essential feature to reduce the risk of allergic reactions in both animals and sensitive people. The partially porous structure of the fabric facilitates perspiration, avoiding skin maceration phenomena and keeping the skin or underlying fur dry. The cohesive material gives the ability to adhere to itself: this property is made possible by a particular processing of the fibres, which ensure stable adhesion without surface stickiness. The cohesive agents used are dermatologically tested and guarantee prolonged use without causing irritation or redness, even in the most delicate areas or those subject to movement. The absence of glue or traditional adhesive resins facilitates removal of the band without pain, and without leaving any residue on the animal's skin or fur. Thanks to the materials used, the band maintains its effectiveness even when it comes into contact with humidity or sweat, making it suitable for both indoor environments and outdoor use.
Contraindications
Flex1One Red Cohesive Band should not be used in subjects known to have hypersensitivity or specific allergies to the synthetic materials contained in the band, even if its latex-free composition significantly reduces the risk of such reactions. Use is not recommended in cases of large lesions, severe burns, severely compromised skin or active infections that require non-occlusive dressings or direct contact with air. Application on open wounds must always be preceded by correct dressing and cleaning of the area, to avoid infectious complications or healing problems. Do not apply excessive pressure when applying the band, especially in the presence of vascular disorders or sensitivity in the limbs, as this could compromise its functionality. It is advisable to stop using the bandage and consult a doctor or veterinarian in case of sudden redness, itching, persistent edema or the appearance of signs of infection in the treated area. The product is designed for external use only and must not be used internally or for purposes other than those intended.
Safety of the drug for the species
Flex1One Red Cohesive Band was developed to be safe on both pets and people, thanks to its latex-free design which minimizes the possibility of contact allergies. The material used to make the band is hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested and well tolerated even in the most sensitive subjects, making the product suitable for prolonged or repeated application. The bandage, if applied correctly, does not compromise blood circulation and allows normal mobility of the treated areas, reducing the risk of complications such as swelling, ischemia or tissue strangulation. For animals, the band is free of unpleasant odors and does not contain substances that can induce compulsive licking or skin irritation. If accidentally ingested in small quantities, the materials it is made of are not toxic, however it is always recommended to prevent the animal from detaching and eating portions of the bandage. In the case of pediatric applications, on small children or young animals, it is advisable to carefully monitor skin tolerance and not excessively tighten the band. During physical exercise or intense activity, the band still maintains its cohesive and supportive properties without risk of premature slipping or loss of effectiveness.
Precautions
Before applying Flex1One Fascia Coesiva Rossa it is essential to ensure that the skin, hair or surface to be treated are clean, dry and free of greasy substances that could reduce the adhesiveness of the product. Do not apply the bandage to open wounds or to skin that is not perfectly cleansed. To obtain maximum benefit and safety, make sure that the compression exerted by the band is homogeneous and not excessive: avoid tightening the bandage too much, especially near joints or extremities, so as not to compromise blood circulation. Always monitor the appearance of the bandaged area in the following hours: if signs of cyanosis, numbness, pain or swelling appear, remove the bandage immediately. It is recommended to use the product only according to the indications given and not to prolong the application beyond what is necessary. Keep the band out of reach of children and animals when not in use, to prevent inadvertent tampering or accidental ingestion. In case of contamination of the surface of the bandage with blood, secretions or other biological fluids, it is good practice to dispose of the product and replace it with a new one. Wash your hands carefully after each application and manipulation of the product, especially if the band has been in contact with wounds or potentially infected biological material.
Method of administration
To apply Flex1One Fascia Coesiva Rossa, unroll the desired quantity and gently wrap it around the affected area, making sure that the band is overlapped on itself to promote adhesion. Begin the bandage by positioning one end of the bandage on the area to be treated and continue with regular wrapping, exerting light traction to obtain the desired compression without excessively tightening. To secure the bandage, simply press the last part of the band lightly onto the already wrapped surface: the cohesive nature of the material ensures a secure fixation without the need for additional clips or adhesives. In case of application on animals, make sure that the band does not limit movements and that the treated area is monitored to avoid attempts at voluntary removal by the animal. To remove the bandage, unroll it gently without tearing, starting from the outer end, to reduce the risk of irritation to the skin or fur underneath. The band can be used whole, or cut to size depending on the area to be covered. After each application, store the roll in a dry and clean place, away from sources of heat or humidity.
Treatment program
The use of Flex1One Red Cohesive Fascia depends on the specific clinical needs of the patient, both animal and human. To protect wounds or secure dressings, the bandage can be applied and replaced every time the gauze is changed or when the bandage becomes dirty, moist or loses its cohesiveness. In the case of support for minor traumas, sprains or for temporary containment, the band must be kept until the symptoms resolve or in any case until the next clinical evaluation. In sports applications or during physical activity, it can be removed and reapplied as needed, always ensuring that the area is clean and dry. For chronic conditions or situations requiring prolonged immobilization, the bandage should be monitored regularly for any signs of discomfort, reduction in blood flow or deterioration of the material. In the veterinary field, the band is ideal for frequent use and can even be left on for several consecutive hours, as long as no local redness or irritation appears. After each use, replace the bandage if necessary, in order to guarantee maximum hygiene and safety for both the animal and the person.
