A compression bandage should typically be left on for 24 to 48 hours, but the exact duration depends on the specific injury and your healthcare provider's recommendations. It's important to regularly check for signs of impaired circulation, such as numbness, tingling, increased pain, or swelling beyond the bandage, and to adjust or remove the bandage if these occur. Always follow the guidance of a medical professional for your specific situation.
