This is a self-adherent cohesive bandage, 5 cm wide and 4.5 m long, in an Army Classic camouflage pattern (green, brown, black), used primarily by tattoo artists for wrapping machine grips as a protective barrier. Its particularity: it sticks only to itself, not to skin or hair, and is latex-free. You can also use it to secure compresses or dressings on arms and legs, as an alternative to medical tape.
What grips does the 5 cm width fit?▾
The 5 cm width covers standard pen machine and rotary machine grips well. It wraps in a spiral and conforms to the shape of the grip, so it works on most standard studio handles. If you have a grip that is much thicker or thinner than standard, adjust the number of layers until you achieve a comfortable thickness for your hand.
How long does one roll last?▾
A 4.5 m roll covers an average of 3-5 grip wraps, depending on how thick you wrap and the size of the grip. For a busy schedule, keep several rolls in stock so you don't run out on busy days.
Can the bandage be sterilized or reused?▾
No. The bandage is single-use per session and cannot be autoclaved — the elastic material and cohesive property do not withstand autoclave temperature and pressure. Apply a new piece on a clean grip for each client and discard it after use. The metal or plastic grip can be sterilized separately, but the bandage is always new.
Does it contain latex?▾
No, it is latex-free, making it suitable for cases where there is latex sensitivity. The declared composition is 95% non-woven material (PPSB) and 5% spandex.
Can I use the bandage for post-tattoo dressings?▾
Yes, it is good for securing compresses and dressings, especially on arms and legs. The advantage over medical tape is that it does not stick to the skin and can be removed painlessly. First, place a sterile compress over the tattoo, then wrap the bandage with moderate tension — do not tighten excessively to maintain circulation.
What is the difference between the Army Classic pattern and the other variants?▾
The difference is purely aesthetic — the pattern and colors. Army Classic uses shades of green, brown, and black (traditional woodland camouflage). The mechanical properties — elasticity, cohesion, fluid resistance, width, length — are identical across variants, so the choice depends only on your preference and studio aesthetics.
