When to Apply Compression. The main purpose of an Ace Bandage is to compress an injured area in order to limit blood flow, which will, in turn, limit swelling and promote healing. When you incur an injury, such as a sprained ankle or wrist, first apply ice to the affected area.
Apply an ace bandage if you have a muscle or joint injury. If you are unsure whether a compression wrap would be beneficial or if you are unsure how to wrap it, see your doctor. Your doctor can advise you on what would be best for your particular injury and how exactly you should apply the wrap.
