Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crepe bandage for?
A crepe bandage is made to give very soft compression and support for soft tissue injuries as well as minor sprains and strains. The crepe bandage's highly elastic qualities make it a great choice for minimising limb swelling and securing dressings.
How do I apply a crepe bandage?
Applying a crepe bandage to a limb is quick and simple. Firstly, wrap the bandage from the farthest point of the limb toward the heart. It is important to overlap each layer of the bandage by roughly half the width of the bandage. Lastly, ensure the bandage is snug around the limb, but not too restricting to avoid stopping or limiting the limb’s blood flow.
Is this crepe bandage appropriate for use in professional medical settings in the UK?
Because this crepe bandage complies with UK medical standards, it can be used in clinics and hospitals as well as other professional healthcare settings.
What material is the bandage made from?
The crepe bandage is made from 100% natural cotton, which gives both great comfort and elasticity. The edge of the bandage also has two secure clips, to keep the bandage in place.
Is it possible to reuse this crepe bandage?
The crepe bandage should only ever be reused if it is carefully removed from the wound without cutting the bandage with bandage scissors. After this, the crepe bandage can then be gently hand washed and further reused.
Can this crepe bandage be added to a first aid kit?
This crepe bandage is an excellent addition to workplace, sports or personal first aid kits, as it can be used in a wide range of first aid situations.
