BSN Medical Tensoplast Elastic Adhesive Bandage
Description
BSN Medical Tensoplast Elastic Adhesive Bandage
BSN Medical Tensoplast is a latex elastic adhesive bandage that stretches to conform closely to limbs and joints and sticks to itself without clips or pins. It is best for riders, grooms and yard managers who want a reliable strapping and securing bandage in the stable first aid kit, and it works equally well in a household or sports kit.
Because the weave is elastic rather than rigid, the bandage moves with the body instead of bunching, and the adhesive backing keeps each turn where you put it. Browse more yard essentials in our horse care collection.

How to Use
- Check the area is clean and dry, and apply any dressing or padding first.
- Unroll a short length of bandage and anchor it with one turn, using light, even tension.
- Work up or down the limb, overlapping each turn by about half the width of the previous one.
- Keep tension consistent throughout - never pull the bandage tight.
- Press the final tail firmly onto the layer beneath so the adhesive holds.
- Check the area regularly and remove the bandage if there is any sign of swelling, rubbing or discomfort.
FAQ
What is BSN Medical Tensoplast?
It is a latex elastic adhesive bandage. The fabric stretches so it conforms to the shape of a limb or joint, and the adhesive backing means it holds in place without clips or pins.
Does Tensoplast contain latex?
Yes. It is described as a latex elastic adhesive bandage, so it should not be used by or on anyone with a known latex sensitivity.
Can I use it on a horse's leg?
It is commonly kept in yard and stable first aid kits for strapping and securing dressings. Bandaging a horse's leg requires correct technique and even tension, so ask your vet or an experienced professional to demonstrate if you have not done it before.
Do I need clips or tape to secure it?
No. The adhesive backing allows the bandage to hold to itself, so no clips, pins or separate tape are required.
How tight should the bandage be?
Apply with light, even tension only. Over-tightening can restrict circulation, so keep the pressure consistent and check the area regularly.
How should I store it?
Keep the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and leave the packaging intact until you need it, so the adhesive stays effective.
