How Do You Wrap A Hand With An Ace Bandage?
An Ace bandage is a popular brand of elastic wrap commonly used to treat injured muscles and tissues.

Using an Ace bandage also ensures you won’t use the injured hand and cause yourself more pain or tissue damage. Choose the width of the Ace bandage based on the size of the injured hand.
