Abstract
The present invention relates to a bandage which preferably has a greater length than width and which comprises a center part (1a) and bandage securing ends (1b, 1c) located on mutually opposite sides of the center part. Only the securing ends of the bandage are provided on one side thereof with an adhesive coating for securing the securing ends to an area of skin. One securing end (1c) is intended to be affixed to a skin area (2) in the lumbar region while the other securing end (1b) is intended to be affixed to a skin area (3) in the region of the lower or intermediate thoraic vertebrae. The length of the tape (1) between the securing ends (1b, 1c) when the back is straight and in the correct posture (FIG. 1) is slightly shorter than the distance between the aforementioned skin areas when measured via the small of the back (4). The center part (1a) is detachably attached to one or both securing ends (1 b, 1c) by means of a velcro hook and loop attachment.
