BSN JOBST Tensoplast Elastic Adhesive Bandage — Zinc Oxide Adhesive Compression Support Tape

BSN JOBST Tensoplast is an elastic adhesive bandage designed for compression, support, and immobilization of soft tissue injuries. It is constructed from a woven elastic fabric with a zinc oxide adhesive system that allows the bandage to conform securely to body contours while maintaining controlled compression.

It is commonly used in orthopedic support, sports injury management, post-procedural fixation, and general compression applications where controlled restriction of movement is required.

What Is This Product?

Tensoplast is an elastic adhesive bandage constructed from a high-tensile woven fabric combined with a zinc oxide adhesive system. It is designed to provide controlled compression and mechanical support to injured or vulnerable anatomical structures.

The adhesive layer allows the bandage to remain fixed without external clips or secondary fasteners, making it suitable for sustained support applications in clinical and athletic environments.

Indications / Clinical Applications

• Sprains and soft tissue injuries
• Ligament and joint support
• Post-surgical fixation support
• Sports injury compression therapy
• General musculoskeletal stabilization

Not intended for: wound coverage, exudate management, or primary wound dressing use.

How It Works

The woven elastic structure provides controlled stretch and recoil, allowing consistent compression around the applied area. This mechanical support helps limit excessive movement of injured tissues while maintaining functional stability.

The zinc oxide adhesive provides secure fixation to the skin surface, allowing the bandage to maintain position and tension during movement and daily activity. The porous structure supports air flow to reduce moisture accumulation under the bandage.

Application Instructions

• Clean and dry skin before application
• Apply with controlled tension based on clinical need
• Overlap each layer evenly for consistent compression
• Smooth edges to ensure secure adhesion
• Monitor circulation and comfort during wear

Usage Guidance

Duration of wear depends on clinical condition and activity level. Bandage should be reassessed regularly for fit, comfort, and skin integrity. Replace if adhesion is reduced or contamination occurs.

Why Choose This Product

Provides reliable elastic compression with secure adhesive fixation, making it suitable for consistent orthopedic and sports injury support applications. Its woven structure offers a balance of strength and flexibility for controlled immobilization.
