Abstract
A self-applicator for bandages includes a tubular body with two widened areas. One widened area has a greater length than the other widened area. At the one widened area, two internal and opposite semi-bushings are dovetailed to form a handle. At the other end of the tubular body, internal ribs provided in an axial direction are coupled to end ribs of a tubular part over which a bandage is wound. The bandage tension is adjusted at any time by pressing a finger over the other widened area of the tubular body.
