Woven crepe fabric composed primarily of cotton for softness and breathability, combined with elastic yarn for stretch and recovery. Typically cotton with elastic yarn (latex-free formulation). Non-sterile. Materials designed for repeated handling and comfortable wear.

1. Clean and dress any wound before applying the bandage — crepe bandages are non-sterile and intended to hold dressings in place.
2. Start wrapping at the narrowest point and overlap each turn by about half the bandage width for even compression.
3. Maintain even tension; avoid overly tight application. Secure the end with clips or medical tape.
4. Check circulation (colour, temperature, numbness) after application and re-adjust if circulation is impaired.
5. For prolonged swelling or severe injuries, seek professional medical advice and replace with specialist compression garments if recommended.

Suitable for:

• First aid kits in workplaces, schools and homes
• Sports teams and physiotherapists for support and acute injury management
• Clinics and hospitals for dressing retention and light compression
• Anyone needing a reliable, breathable crepe bandage for everyday wound care and support

Caution:

• Non-sterile — do not use as a primary sterile dressing on open wounds without appropriate sterile cover.
• Do not apply too tightly; discontinue if the wearer experiences increased pain, numbness, tingling or discolouration.
• Not suitable as a substitute for professional medical treatment for serious injuries.

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep in original packaging until ready for use to maintain cleanliness.
• Check packaging for damage before use; discard if contaminated.
