Compression bandage for use as the only bandage in a single-bandage system for compression therapy, comprising an elastic compression layer and an elastic comfort layer, of which at least 50% is permanently attached to the compression layer.The compression bandage has a full-stretch elongation (FSE) of between 25% and 60% beyond its unstretched length. Full-stretch elongation is defined herein as the elongation at which the second derivative (130) of a curve (110) showing tensioning force over longitudinal elongation has its global maximum (140).
