Retainers used to fix a bandage in an appropriate position. These retainers typically consist of an open, expandable, tubular mesh made of plastics (e.g., nylon and spandex). These retainers are manufactured in several sizes according to the intended use (e.g., fingers/toes, knee, elbow), they are available either in rolls or in precut, ready to use segments. Bandage retainers are used on patients that are sensitive or allergic to adhesive tape and/or in parts of the body that are difficult to tape.
