Pressure bandages made from Hevea natural rubber latex (NRL) are reusable fabric strips or rolls designed to apply controlled compression to a localized body area. Clinically, they’re used to manage bleeding, reduce swelling, or secure dressings by maintaining consistent pressure over time, often in home or clinical settings.
These bandages are typically regulated as medical devices, with compliance requirements varying by jurisdiction. They’re often supplied in rolls or pre-cut strips and must meet safety standards for reusable materials, including durability and cleaning protocols to prevent contamination or degradation.
