Yes, Elasti-wrap bandages are water-resistant and can be worn while swimming or bathing. However, prolonged exposure to water or excessive sweating may cause the bandage to loosen.
To apply an Elasti-wrap bandage, first clean and dry the area to be wrapped. Start at the end farthest from the injury and wrap the bandage around the affected area, overlapping by about half of the bandage's width. Make sure the bandage is snug but not too tight, and secure the end by pressing it lightly to the bandage. Avoid wrapping too tightly, as this can cause discomfort and restrict blood flow.
