FAQs
What is HaplaBand used for?
HaplaBand is a supportive strapping bandage that can be used where light compression and padding are preferred, such as securing dressings or providing extra stability during activity.
Which HaplaBand width is best for an ankle, knee, or wrist?
Many people choose wider rolls (5cm–7.5cm) for broader areas and narrower rolls (1.25cm–2.5cm) for smaller areas or more precise strapping. The best choice depends on the area size and the type of strapping you’re doing.
How do I choose between HaplaBand 5cm and 7.5cm?
Both provide wider coverage, but 7.5cm can cover more area per wrap. If you want more control around contours, 5cm may feel easier to position. If in doubt, consider the area size and check the product description.
Can HaplaBand be cut to size?
Yes. HaplaBand comes on backing paper which helps with accurate cutting and sizing. Use clean scissors and avoid applying over broken skin unless the product is being used to secure an appropriate dressing.
How tight should a compression/strapping bandage be?
It should feel supportive but not restrictive. If you notice numbness, tingling, increasing pain, swelling beyond the wrap, or colour changes in fingers/toes, remove it and reapply more loosely. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
Is HaplaBand suitable for sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin or a history of reactions to adhesives, patch test first and stop use if irritation occurs. A pharmacist can advise on alternative tapes or dressings if you’re prone to skin sensitivity.
When should I speak to a pharmacist or GP?
Speak to a pharmacist or GP if you suspect a significant sprain or fracture, pain is severe, swelling is increasing, you can’t use the limb normally, the skin is broken and looks infected, or symptoms don’t improve.
Important: HaplaBand products are support/first-aid supplies and are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. Always follow the label or product instructions. If symptoms are severe, worsening, or you’re concerned about circulation or a skin reaction, seek advice from a pharmacist, your GP, NHS 111, or urgent care as appropriate.
