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.
An ace wrap is an elastic bandage that comes in different sizes. The wrap comes in a roll with metal clips, with tape to fasten it in place, or Velcroâ¢ . The bandage may be from 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) wide and 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) long. Elastic bandages can be bought at any medical supply or drug store.
