Tubular Form Bandage - 1m (1)

This is an elasticated tubular bandage in a 1m pre-cut length, sized A through M so you can match the width to the limb or joint you're covering. The knit stretches on to give even, light compression and a snug, supportive fit, the kind trainers and physios keep in the bag for a quick wrap between drills. Pick the size letter, pull it on, and it sits flush with no pins or clips.

The 1m length suits a single application over an ankle, knee, elbow or wrist, rather than the longer dispensing rolls a busy clinic cuts multiple lengths from. It's an easy way to hold a cold pack in place or add a layer of light support under or over strapping. The tubular form does the fastening itself, so there's nothing to tie off.

Getting the size right matters more than with a flat bandage, because the compression comes from the stretch. Too loose and it slides down; too tight and it's uncomfortable to wear. The size letters run from A at the smallest up to M, matched to limb circumference, so measure first and check the guide below before you order.

Straptor is Australian owned and run, with the bandage stocked next to the cold packs, strapping and recovery gear a club works through across a season, shipped Australia-wide with a walk-in counter in East Bendigo. For where a tubular bandage sits alongside cold packs and the rest of the between-sessions kit, see the recovery and rehab range.

Usage

Choose the size letter for the limb, measure the circumference and check the measuring guide if you're unsure. Slide the tube over the limb so it sits evenly along the length, without bunching or twisting. For a firmer hold or a two-layer wrap over a joint, a longer size can be doubled back over itself. Keep it snug rather than tight: you should be able to slip a finger under the edge.

Care and storage

Store somewhere clean and dry. The stretch is what does the work, so replace the bandage once it stops recovering its shape.

Common questions

What size do I need? Sizes run from A, the smallest, up to M, matched to limb circumference rather than to a body part by name. Measure around the limb and check the measuring guide before ordering, since the fit is what gives the compression.

How is the 1m length different from the rolls? This is a single pre-cut metre for one application. The longer lettered rolls are for a clinic or trainer cutting multiple lengths over a season.

Does it come with clips or pins? No. The tubular form holds itself in place, so there's nothing to fasten.

Can I reuse it? It's washable and reusable until the knit loses its stretch. Once it stops springing back, replace it, because the compression goes with the recovery.
