​What are cohesive ligatures?


Bandages or cohesive bands have the characteristic of bonding perfectly even though they do not adhere to skin, hair or other materials. This type of material is the ideal solution for winding around any limb without leading to the pain of hair or hair removal when it is removed from the skin.

Due to its low adhesion to the skin, the cohesive band is ideal for several applications in veterinary medicine, sports, nursing or physiotherapy. Their use varies from the use in the paws of the dogs and legs in the horses, until the arms and legs of athletes.

The cohesive ligature has a property that allows for maximum elongation. This feature allows a great capacity of adaptation and choice of the level of compaction according to each situation.

This is controllable by the application of several layers.
