Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crepe bandage for?
A crepe bandage is commonly used on injuries such as minor sprains and strains to limbs, or soft tissue damage, by giving gentle compression and support to the limb’s tissue. The crepe bandage is a great choice for making sure dressings remain secure, and helping to minimise limb swelling.
How do I apply a crepe bandage to a limb?
First, begin wrapping the crepe bandage from the furthest point of the selected limb in the direction toward the centre of the chest. Overlap each layer of the bandage by half the width of the bandage. Make sure the crepe bandage feels snug but not too tight to avoid restricting the limb’s blood flow.
What is the crepe bandage made from?
This crepe bandage is made from cotton, which offers both good comfort as well as elasticity. The edge of the bandage also has two secure clips, to keep the bandage in place.
Is this crepe bandage reusable?
The crepe bandage can be reused, however it must be carefully removed from the limb without cutting it using bandage scissors. After the bandage is removed, it can then be gently hand washed and later reused.
Can a crepe bandage be added to a first aid kit?
A crepe bandage is a great addition to any workplace, sports or personal first aid kits, as it can be used in a wide range of scenarios.
