This is a cohesive (self-adherent) bandage used in tattoo studios mainly for wrapping machine grips, protecting equipment, and securing dressings. Its great quality is that it sticks only to itself — not to skin or hair — so it applies and removes easily, without adhesive residue or tugging. The 5 cm width and 4.5 m length make it suitable for a non-slip, comfortable layer on grips during long sessions. The "Army Winter" version features a camouflage pattern, a subtle alternative to classic medical bandages.
Why do I need to change the bandage on the grip for each client?▾
Because during the session, the bandage on the grip comes into contact with green soap, ink, blood, and other biological fluids, which penetrate the material and cannot be fully removed by wiping or surface disinfection. Reusing between clients creates a risk of cross-contamination. The correct hygiene protocol is simple: a new bandage on the grip for each client, no exceptions. The cost per client is small, and the risk of reuse is not worth taking.
How do I correctly apply the bandage to the grip?▾
Start from the base of the grip, gently stretch the bandage as you wrap (moderate tension activates adhesion), overlap each turn by about half the width, and maintain constant tension. At the end, press down the last turn to secure. You don't need clips or adhesive tape — the bandage self-secures through cohesion, as it only sticks to itself.
How many grips can I wrap with one 4.5 m roll?▾
Roughly, a 4.5 m roll is enough for about 3-5 standard grips, depending on the grip length and how many layers you apply. If you wrap thicker (double layer), usage increases accordingly. For a studio with a high volume of clients, it's helpful to always have several rolls in stock.
Does it contain latex?▾
No, this is a latex-free bandage. The cohesive property comes from synthetic material (a non-woven PPSB combined with spandex), not natural latex. So you can safely use it with people who have latex sensitivity. For peace of mind, always check the marking on the packaging.
Does it fit my pen or rotary machine?▾
Yes. The 5 cm width is the usual size for wrapping grips of pen and rotary machines, providing a comfortable, anti-slip layer that improves control during long sessions. The elastic material adapts to the shape of the grip without slipping or unwinding. It doesn't depend on a specific machine model — it applies over the existing grip.
Can I use the bandage over a fresh tattoo?▾
It can be used as an outer layer to hold a sterile compress or dressing in place on the tattoo, making it a useful option for clients sensitive to adhesives since it does not stick to the skin. First apply the sterile material over the tattoo, then wrap the bandage over it and the surrounding area with light pressure — it works best on limbs where circumferential wrapping is practical. It does not replace the recommended post-tattoo care protocol; use it as a fixation while following aftercare instructions.
