Medline Medigrip Tubular Bandages for Secure Wound Care and Support (MSC9506YDH)

Ann T Roslevich: I didn't like it because it's wayyyy to tight on my leg. I have cellulitis and use the sock covering the bandaged wound. Looked great. But looks can be deceiving.

Richard P.: The Medline brand tends to be fairly hit-and-miss in terms of both value and quality. This particular product, MediGrip Tubular Bandages, 1 yard, in size G is a definite miss.

First off, as has been noted, the photograph is deceiving. However, the print is mostly accurate. You will not receive a role of tubular bandages. You will receive a 36" bandage, though mine actually was just above 24" and was definitely shy of what had been promised. The packaging was essentially a loose baggy containing the tubular bandage - not only was it not sterile it wasn't even clean.

Those allergic to latex should take note that this does contain natural rubber latex. Again, this is on the page and should be noted.

The quality is questionable at best. As noted, it was poorly packaged and this impacts effectiveness because it arrives as if it's been placed in a baggy. It's just a weird way to send health supplies. The bandage does have decent stretch and also has some compression qualities - so, I'm not going to completely criticize the item. It does have some effectiveness for those needing it for compression. It will, on some level, actually secure bandages.

Overall, I'm...

Casandra W PerryCasandra W Perry: Tubie-grips are amazing. I first encountered them when I had to go to wound care for a non-healing ulcer. They used tubies over the gauze-wrap bandage on my leg. It served two purposes: 1) the gauze bandage stayed where it had been put, which if you've ever tried to wrap something in gauze, you know it slips, and 2) it served to gently compress the entire area of the leg that it covered, preventing it from ballooning up and actually reducing the existing swelling.
Tubies come in one long tube, so you cut the length you need. They come in many sizes, from super tiny meant for your fingers, all the way up to quite large tubes meant for an abdominal or chest wrap. They are washable and dryable, but they do last longer if you air-dry them. Over time, they become looser, but you can sort of compensate for that by using 2 layers.
If you are trying to heal a wound, especially one that has been hard to heal, I recommend using the tubies to cover the gauze wrap, so that you have moderate compression. This will keep your gauze in place and provide support and encourage good blood flow to your wounded body part.
I also recommend tubies for helping tired and swollen legs. I have...
