Sizes Of Tubular Stockinettes And Tubular Elastic Bandages
Bandages Plus has developed a sizing guideline to help determine which size of tubular stockinettes and tubular elastic bandages might be the right fit for you. For both, you need to measure around the circumference of the arm or leg to figure out its diameter. When measuring, you should measure around the widest part of the arm or leg.

| Less than 4” to 4” inches | A | 1 ⅝ inches (4 centimeters) |
| 4 inches to 5 ¾ inches | B | 2 ½ inches (6.5 centimeters) |
| 5 ¾ inches to 9 ½ inches | C | 2 ¾ inches (7 centimeters) |
| 9 ½ inches to 14 inches | D | 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) |
