FAQ: What is crepe bandage used for?

Crepe bandages are used for securing wound dressings, providing mild joint compression for sprains and swelling, and supporting injured limbs. The elastic crepe weave conforms to body contours and provides comfortable sustained compression. For higher levels of support or firm compression, a cohesive or rigid bandage is more appropriate.

FAQ: How do I apply a crepe bandage correctly?

Start below the wound or injury area. Apply with moderate, consistent tension using overlapping figure-8 or spiral wrapping technique. Ensure no wrinkles or pressure points. The bandage should be firm but not tight enough to cause numbness or restrict circulation. Secure the end with a clip or tape. Check distal circulation (fingers/toes) after application.
