Medicrepe is a comfortable, soft cotton-blend elastic crepe bandage, best suited for light support, compression and retention in minor sprains and strains. A versatile first-aid essential, it’s quick and easy to apply for everyday injuries and support needs.

Key Benefits

• Light support & compression for minor sprains and strains.
• Soft cotton-blend for comfort and breathability.
• Elastic construction conforms to body contours for a secure fit.
• Ideal for holding dressings and ice packs in place.
• Provides warmth and insulation to aid recovery.

Uses

• Support for ankles, wrists, knees, elbows after minor injuries.
• Compression to help manage mild swelling.
• Retention bandage to secure gauze pads and other dressings.
• Adjunct support in orthopaedic care (as directed by a clinician).
• Support for already bandaged varicose veins or post-procedure dressings.

How to Apply

1. Position the limb comfortably and, if needed, place any primary dressing over the wound.
2. Anchor the bandage with one wrap, then continue with firm but not tight turns, overlapping by one-half.
3. Apply with graduated pressure (snugger distally, looser proximally) to encourage venous return.
4. Secure with clips or tape. Check circulation, sensation and movement after application.

Good to Know

• Reusable: Hand wash in cool water, reshape and air dry. Do not tumble dry.
• For external use only. Do not apply directly to broken skin without an appropriate dressing.
• If numbness, tingling, increased pain or colour change occurs, re-wrap more loosely or remove and seek advice.
