3M Coban is a cohesive, self-adherent wrap constructed from a conformable textile with elastic fibers and a cohesive outer surface that bonds to itself. It is breathable and lightweight to reduce heat build-up and is formulated without natural rubber latex to minimise allergic reactions. The tan colour provides a discreet, professional finish for clinical and sport applications.

1. Clean and dry the skin or dressing area before application.
2. Start with a single turn anchoring the wrap; no adhesive or clips are needed.
3. Apply with even tension, overlapping each layer by approximately 50% to achieve consistent compression.
4. Avoid excessive tension; check circulation (capillary refill, warmth, sensation) after application.
5. Secure the end by pressing the wrap onto itself — the cohesive surface will hold.
6. Replace as instructed by a clinician; dispose of after use if soiled or at clinician recommendation.

Ideal for healthcare professionals (nurses, doctors, podiatrists, physiotherapists) and home users managing wound dressing retention, mild compression for swelling and sports support. Suitable for people needing secure, non-slip bandaging for joints, limbs and dressing fixation. The latex-free design makes it appropriate for most patients with sensitivities.

Caution: Do not apply Coban if arterial insufficiency, severe peripheral vascular disease or uncontrolled diabetes is present without clinician advice. Monitor the skin for numbness, tingling, increased pain, swelling distal to the wrap or colour changes; remove immediately if circulation is compromised. Use appropriate compression levels as directed by a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep in original packaging until use to protect from dust and contamination. Single-patient use or discard after contamination as per local clinical protocols.
