This guide will cover everything you need to know about cohesive bandage.
Cohesive Bandage Meaning
Cohesive bandage is a type of compression bandage that offers light support and elasticity.
Although it’s called a bandage, cohesive bandage is also considered a type of tape or strapping because of it’s unique self-adhesive property. Cohesive bandage sticks to itself but not to skin, clothing, or hair. This means it can be used for snug-fitting taping jobs without the difficulty of removing adhesive tape from the skin, however it won’t slip around, slide down, or bunch up.
This self-adhesive feature makes it easier to apply and adjust tape as needed, for faster and more straightforward applications.
Generally, cohesive bandage is made from a blend of cotton, polymer yarns, and sometimes, latex. Steroban Cohesive bandages are made of Polypropylene, polyurethane, polyisoprene rubber and elastic. Its weave resembles a stretchy gauze, and its elastic quality gives cohesive bandage a puckered texture.
The combination of the ridged texture and the rubber coating are what give cohesive bandage it’s self-adherent property. The elasticated weave means the bandage will cling and conform to the contours of the body, compressing layers together and helping the bandage to hold firm.

Cohesive bandage can be used as a comfortable alternative to dressing retention tape when dressings and other medical devices need to be held in place against the body. If you need to use surgical tape instead, take a look at our range.
Injury recovery and first aid
Whether covering up a wound dressing or supporting a soft tissue injury, the stretchy nature of cohesive bandage helps to hold everything in place. Snuggly wrapped around the body’s contours, the wrap will keep out of the way and provide excellent support while allowing the wearer to carry on with everyday activities.
Cohesive bandage can also be used to wrap around an ice pack and hold it against the body. It’s a good idea to apply a layer of cohesive bandage to the injured area first so that the ice pack isn’t directly against the skin.
Cohesive bandage does not stick to hair, making it an excellent candidate for bandaging animals with fur. In fact, cohesive bandage is sometimes called ‘vet tape’. Veterinarians use cohesive bandage to wrap injured animals to protect and offer support to aid healing and hold dressings in place on animals and pets like dogs and cats.
Cohesive bandage is also used to wrap horses’ legs to protect them from knocks and provide added support during transport.
Sport
Cohesive bandage can be found in virtually every sports first aid kit or physio’s bag. Apart from its excellent use for compression and support to soft tissue injuries, cohesive bandage is used in sports for the following:
For more rigid immobilisation and protection, such as with finger taping or taping hands and wrists for boxing, zinc oxide tape, or even stickier Sterotape Premium, is ideal. Find out about zinc oxide tape and how to remove zinc oxide tape in our blog.
