Compression bandages are elastic wraps or garments applied to a specific body part to exert controlled pressure and provide support. They are commonly used in medical settings to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support injured or weakened tissues. Compression bandages are typically made of stretchable materials such as elastic or elastane, allowing them to conform to the shape of the body part and provide consistent pressure. They are used to treat conditions such as venous ulcers, lymphedema, sprains, strains, and varicose veins. Compression bandages come in various sizes, lengths, and compression levels to suit different needs and applications. Proper application and monitoring of compression bandages are essential to ensure their effectiveness and prevent complications.
Compression bandages come in three main types such as short stretch, long stretch, and multilayer. Short-stretch bandages offer gentle compression and support due to their limited elasticity, crafted from diverse materials such as polyester, latex, and cotton. They serve a range of purposes such as wound care, managing deep vein thrombosis, and lymphedema treatment. These products cater to diverse clientele including hospitals, clinics, nursing care facilities, and home care services.

The compression bandage market is poised for growth due to the escalating prevalence of chronic wounds. Chronic wounds, characterized by prolonged healing and affecting a significant number of individuals, are on the rise, attributed to factors such as aging populations and unhealthy lifestyles. Compression bandages play a crucial role in managing chronic wounds by reducing swelling, improving circulation, and preventing complications, thereby contributing to wound contraction and closure. For example, in January 2024, Memorial Hospital of Carbon County reported approximately 6.7 million cases of chronic wounds in the US, with projections indicating a further 2% increase over the next decade. Moreover, chronic wounds incur substantial healthcare costs, exceeding $50 billion. Consequently, the market for compression bandages is witnessing significant expansion driven by the growing prevalence of chronic wounds.
