How to use 3M Self-Adherent Wrap?

• Unwind 12" or more of Coban Latex-Free Wrap from the roll and allow it to relax. Be sure to unwind a sufficient length before beginning the application.
• Without stretching, apply one full Coban compression wrap and overlap. Lightly press the overlap into place to secure.
• Wrap and apply tension continuously to the wrap to achieve the desired compression. To secure the wrap apply light pressure at the end of the application.
• To facilitate tearing, unwrap an additional 1" if necessary. To tear, hold the top edge of the wrap with the thumb and index finger of each hand as indicated. Stretch the latex-free Coban wrap at the top edge. Keeping the hand closest to the application steady, tear in a front-to-back motion with the other hand.
• "Hug" the layers together to ensure that the windings of the wrap cohere to one another.
• Remove by unwrapping or by cutting with bandage scissors.

Precautions to take while using 3M Coban Self-Adherent Wrap

• It is important to ensure adequate arterial blood flow when used as a component in a compression wrap system. This is to avoid injury secondary to decreased circulation. Use 3M Coban LF Latex Free Self-Adherent Wrap as a component of a compression wrap system only under the supervision of a wound care specialist.
• Do not reuse. Reuse may result in compromising product integrity and/or lead to devise failure.

• 3M Coban LF Latex-Free Self-Adherent Wrap will not slip or loosen after application. Do not wrap too tightly to avoid impairing circulation and causing serious injury. The risk of impaired circulation is higher for children.
• Monitor area frequently, no less than every 24 hours. Check for signs of swelling, pain, discoloration, tingling, numbness, or other changes in sensation. If these symptoms occur, remove wrap immediately and contact your Health Care provider.
• Remember not to place Coban LF Self-Adherent Wrap in direct contact with an open wound as it may lead to infection.
