Tubigrip tubular support bandage: sizes B to G

Tubigrip by Mölnlycke is the elasticated tubular bandage clinics, physios and aged care homes use for sprains, strains, swelling and soft tissue support. It pulls on like a sleeve, stays put without pins or tape, and can be washed and reused. Choose your size from the chart below by measuring around the limb. Each roll is 10 metres, in natural (cream) or beige (skin tone).

Circumference ranges from Mölnlycke's Tubigrip product information. If a measurement falls in two sizes, choose the smaller size for firmer support or the larger for comfort.

How to measure for Tubigrip

  • Measure around the middle of the joint or the widest part of the limb you want to cover. For a knee, keep the leg straight.
  • If there is swelling, measure at the time of day you'll be putting the bandage on, as swelling changes through the day.
  • Check the length too: Tubigrip should run from just below the joint to just above it.

How to apply Tubigrip (single or double layer)

  1. Cut a piece twice the length of the area to be covered, plus a few centimetres.
  2. Gather it up and pull it onto the limb like a stocking, smoothing out any wrinkles.
  3. For a double layer, fold the remaining length back over the first layer, with the top edge of the second layer 2–3 cm higher than the first.

A single layer gives light support or holds a dressing in place. A double layer gives firmer support for swelling, sprains and strains.

What Tubigrip is used for

  • Sprains, strains and sports or soft tissue injuries
  • General swelling (oedema)
  • Support after a plaster cast comes off
  • Post-burn scar management and rib injuries, as directed by a clinician
  • Holding dressings in place without tape on fragile skin

Tubigrip FAQs

What size Tubigrip do I need for my knee?

Most knees take size D, E or F. Measure around the middle of the knee with the leg straight and match it to the chart: small knees are usually D, medium knees E, and large knees F.

What size Tubigrip for an ankle or wrist?

Small ankles are usually size C, medium ankles D and large ankles E. Small wrists and hands usually take size B.

Can I wear Tubigrip overnight?

Take it off at night unless a doctor, nurse or physio has told you otherwise. Remove it straight away if it causes pain, numbness, tingling or colour change in the fingers or toes.

Is Tubigrip a compression stocking?

No. Tubigrip gives light, even support. It is not a substitute for graduated compression stockings or a compression bandage system for venous leg ulcers or lymphoedema. For those, see our compression bandages and speak to a clinician.

Can Tubigrip be washed and reused?

Yes. It can be hand washed and reapplied, so one 10 m roll covers many applications.

What is the difference between natural and beige?

Only the colour. Natural is cream/off-white; beige is a skin tone that is less noticeable under clothing.

I have a latex allergy. Can I use Tubigrip?

Check the pack or call us before ordering, and we'll confirm the current specification with the supplier.

Who should check with a clinician first

Ask a doctor, nurse or physio before using Tubigrip if you have poor circulation, diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, fragile or broken skin under the area, or swelling that hasn't been diagnosed.
