A compression bandage adapted to be wrapped around a body part in a helicoidal manner, wherein the compression bandage has a length (L) and a width (W) and the length (L) is several times greater than the width (W), wherein

• the compression bandage comprises a starting portion (1) and a central portion (2), wherein the central portion (2) is adjacent to the starting portion (1),
• the starting portion (1) and the central portion (2) comprise a first part (4) and a second part (5), both extending over the entire length of the central portion (2), the first part (4) extending across a part of the width (W) of the compression bandage and the second part (5) extending across a part of the remaining width of the compression bandage, wherein the first part (4) has a first thickness (T1) and a first width (W1) and the second part (5) has a second thickness (T2) and a second width (W2), wherein at any point along its length, in the starting portion (1) and in the central portion (2), the second width (W2) is at least half the first width (W1) and the first thickness (T1) is greater than the second thickness (T2),
• characterized in that the starting portion (1) comprises an extension (6) of the first part (4) protruding past the end of the second part (5).
