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.
A tensor bandage is an elasticized bandage used to provide support to a sprained or strained limb. This type of bandage may also be known as an ace bandage or ace wrap. Many drugstores carry tensor bandages in their wound care aisles and they are also available at doctor's offices and clinics in standardized lengths and widths.
