Abstract: In the field of bandages it is known to provide a non-slip coating to one surface of a bandage. However, previous such bandages have suffered numerous disadvantages. The disclosure relates to a bandage (1) having a resiliently stretchable, non-slip coating (3) applied to it in wavy lines extending along the length of the bandage (1). The non-slip coating is such as to provide slip resistance between the bandage (1) and the human skin, to which the bandage (1) may be applied in a compressive manner. An advantageous feature of the invention is the use of a barb hook-type fastener (5,13) the shear force which acts in a plane approximately coinciding with that of the outer surface of the bandage (1), thereby reducing the tendency of the bandage to peel apart as a result of forces arising from the compressive application of the bandage to e.g. a human limb.
