@jules2026 this was about a 3 foot long Ace bandage - stretchy, non stick with Velcro on 1 end. It was wrapped about 2 1/2 times around the pressure bra to time more pressure over the tissue to avoid hematomas and covered the lymph node site under the area as well. Ace bandages are usually 12-18” and used for limb injuries- sprained wrist, ankle, etc to help keep down swelling.
