Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer and global supplier of Elastic Cohesive and Adhesive Bandages. The StayGuard™ brand of Elastic Cohesive and Adhesive Bandages are internationally distributed and recognized for reliable quality and exceptional value. With distribution across developed and developing markets alike, our products are uniquely positioned as the brand of choice for medical professionals.
This product series consists of both cohesive and adhesive bandages, both with different properties.
An elastic cohesive bandage, also known as a self-adhering bandage, is a type of bandage which adheres to itself rather than adhering to skin or hair. This type of bandage is washable and is able to be removed with ease. Cohesive bandages are manufactured from a variety of materials, depending on the model. Materials include non-woven, non-woven + cotton, waterproof absorbent foam and cotton. These materials allow for a high degree of comfort and breathability for the injury.
Adhesive bandages are bandages that adhere to surfaces such as skin instead of solely adhering to itself, like cohesive bandages. Unlike cohesive bandages, they are non-removable, as they are one time use. They are also unable to be washed. However, they have the advantage of retaining compression for extended periods of time, exceeding most other bandages. Depending on the model, they are manufactured from light weight spandex + cotton, stretch composite and heavy-weight twist cotton. These materials give the bandage its long-term high compression capabilities.
Both adhesive and cohesive bandages offer a superior level of compression when compared to a standard bandage (especially adhesive bandages). Because of this, care must be taken when applying the bandage, to prevent decreased circulation or discomfort. A medical professional should be the one to apply these types of bandages for this reason. Cohesive and adhesive bandages do not become looser as time progresses, maintaining a consistent, high level of compression.
Like many other types of bandages, elastic cohesive and adhesive bandages have an array of uses, including securing a dressing in place, slow the rate of bleeding, shield the wound from further exacerbation, prevent the entry of dirt and bacteria into the wound and holding the skin together to accelerate the healing process.
Due to the adhesive nature of the elastic adhesive type of bandage, it should not be applied directly to the wound. An initial base dressing is required to be laid over the wound first.
Some key properties for elastic cohesive and adhesive bandages is that they must be durable enough to protect the wound, but retain a certain degree of flexibility to be able to move with the wearers movements and actions without coming undone. Cohesive and adhesive bandages are not prone to becoming loose and undone like other types of bandages.
Bandages are widely used for both professional and consumer needs, in hospitals, clinics, senior living facilities, schools, rehab facilities, sporting establishments and households.
The range of elastic cohesive and adhesive bandages offered by AdvaCare come in a plethora of different sizes and shapes to treat any wound located anywhere on the body.
Depending on what model/material is opted for, bandages are either cohesive or adhesive. EconoGuard and XtraGuard are cohesive, and UltraGuard series is adhesive. Each bandage in the series offered by AdvaCare is examined in more detail below.

Usage:
Cohesive and adhesive bandages are ideal for protecting and facilitating the healing process of a cut, abrasion, blister, or other injury, especially one that requires a high level of compression and long-term adherence. Elastic cohesive and adhesive bandages protect injuries from friction, exposure, and further damage which may worsen the wound and consequently prolong the healing time.
To apply the bandage, ensure the wound is cleaned thoroughly to remove any debris or foreign bodies. Ensure the shape and size of the bandage is applicable to the area of the body that the bandage is being applied to. Place a dressing over the wound, and then apply the bandage with the adhesive pad over the wound. If a cohesive bandage is being used, it will not stick to the skin, and hence care must be taken to ensure the bandage adheres to itself whilst covering and protecting the wound. Take care not to touch the wound, as this may aggravate it. Changing the bandage and dressing daily is not necessary, as both cohesive and adhesive bandages are designed to retain their adherence capabilities over long periods of time. If the bandage gets wet or soiled, it should be replaced with a fresh bandage. Cohesive bandages are able to be removed and washed. If an adhesive bandage is removed, it cannot be re used again.
It is imperative that elastic cohesive and adhesive bandages are not used if the packaging or seal is compromised. Evidence of this may suggest tampering or loss of sterility. If one should come across bandages inside comprised packaging, the correct course of action is to dispose of it quickly and safely.
Precautions:
- It is important that adhesive bandages are not reused. Once used, the device is not fit to be salvaged for further used, as sterilization cannot be retained. Re-using bandages can result in infections being transmitted, and the bandage losing its adherence ability. Cohesive bandages are able to be removed and washed, however;
- Must prepare the bandages for use in a clean, sterile environment, absent of bodily fluids or other sources of contamination;
- Because this bandage is adhesive, a dressing should be laid over the wound first. Directly applying the adhesive bandage to the wound can result in further damage being inflicted upon the wound;
- Cohesive and adhesive bandages should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so may dry the bandage up, decreasing its healing and adherence properties;
- Promptly and safely dispose of any bandages that have touched a potentially contaminated surface;
- If bandages have blood or any other bodily substance on it, it must be handled as biohazard waste.
