Cotton Crepe Bandage Made to B.P. Standard
Medicrepe is a cotton crepe bandage woven to the B.P. (British Pharmacopoeia) 1993 standard, as marked on the packaging. It’s reusable and washable, and the product page states it holds its elasticity across multiple washes rather than being a single-use item. Unlike Medicare Hygiene’s sterile dressings, this crepe bandage isn’t listed as sterile, so it’s meant for external support and compression, not as a wound contact layer.
Crepe Bandage for Sprain and Joint Support
As a crepe bandage for sprain and general joint injuries, Medicrepe works by wrapping firmly enough to limit movement and swelling at the injury site, similar to how any compression wrap is used in first aid. It comes in four widths — 6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm, all at 4 m stretched length — so the width can be matched to the body part being wrapped. How tightly it should be applied is best judged by a clinician or physiotherapist rather than a fixed rule, since over-wrapping can cut off circulation.
Orthopedic and Compression Crepe Bandage for Everyday Use
As an orthopedic crepe bandage, Medicrepe is also used to secure dressings in place over a wound, keeping them from shifting during movement, though it isn’t the primary dressing itself. Used as a compression crepe bandage, it’s breathable and flesh-coloured, which is why hospitals and sports settings keep it stocked for both medical support and everyday minor-injury care.
