Estimating the term…
An elastic bandage is disclosed, enabling the bandage to be applied with improved ease, predictability and controllability, even on body parts having variable circumference. The bandage comprises an elongate strip of a stretchable elastic textile material, wherein a first set of repeated markings are provided and distributed along the longitudinal direction of the elongate strip for correlation of markings within different turns, allowing turns having the same length of unstretched elastic bandage to be wrapped and stretched around various circumferences with different yield rates. Further, the elastic property of the elongate strip is such that the pressure exerted by such turns having the same length of unstretched elastic bandage varies less than 30% over a range of approximately circular circumferences providing a range of yield rates from λ1 to λ2, wherein λ2/λ1>1.8.

Use of a textile material in the manufacture of an elastic bandage, the textile material having the elastic property that when the same length of unstretched elastic bandage is stretched in turns over a circular object with different yield rates the pressure exerted by such turns having the same length of unstretched elastic bandage varies less than 30% over a range of approximately circular circumferences providing a range of yield rates from λ1 to λ2, wherein λ2/λ1>1.8.
A stretchable elastic bandage material for compression applications having the elastic property that when the same length of unstretched elastic bandage material is stretched to encircle circular object with different circumferences at different yield rates the pressure exerted by the elastic bandage material varies less than 30% over a range of approximately circular circumferences providing a range of yield rates from λ1 to λ2, wherein λ2/λ1>1.8.
