Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I use open weave versus cohesive?

A: Open weave is the traditional choice for dressing retention where breathability is important. Cohesive bandages are faster to apply and need no fasteners. Choose open weave when maximum air circulation to the wound is preferred.

Q: How do I secure the end of an open weave bandage?

A: Fold the end under itself and secure with microporous tape or a safety pin. Tape is preferred for patient comfort. Pin through the folded-back bandage to prevent the pin contacting skin.
