CoFlex Med Cohesive Bandages

CoFlex Med cohesive bandages from Medline stick to themselves — not to skin, hair, or wound dressings — which is exactly what makes them so useful in a busy clinic or first-aid kit. They wrap firmly to secure gauze, hold IV lines, and provide light compression, then unwind cleanly without pulling at fragile skin or leaving sticky residue behind. For anyone who has ever peeled a traditional adhesive tape off an elderly patient's forearm, that difference matters.

The CoFlex Med Cohesive Bandage (MDS086002CP) comes latex-free and self-adherent in an assortment of colors, handy for color-coding patients or simply brightening a pediatric visit. The MDS086003 offers the same reliable stretch and grip in a standard non-sterile format for everyday wound securement and support. Both tear easily by hand, so there's no need for scissors or clips at the bedside.

A common question buyers ask is how tightly to apply cohesive wrap: stretch it to roughly half its capacity for secure holding, and less than that for light support — you should always be able to slip a finger underneath and check that circulation isn't compromised. Because these bandages are latex-free, they're a safer default choice for facilities managing latex-sensitive patients and staff.

Sizing runs from narrow rolls for fingers and small limbs to wider widths for knees, elbows, and larger dressings, so it's worth stocking a couple of widths to cover the range of applications you'll actually see. Order in case quantities to keep exam rooms and supply carts consistently stocked.
