How to Properly Use Crepe Bandage:
When dealing with musculoskeletal injuries like sprains, it's advisable to ice the area first. This helps reduce swelling, minimise pain, and prepare the area for gentle compression with the bandage.
Selecting the appropriate width of crepe bandage is crucial to ensure sufficient coverage and support. For specific areas such as the ankle, foot, wrist, thumb, arm, or knee, choose a bandage size that offers optimum coverage. Avoid using a narrow bandage on a larger area, as it may require excessive layers, resulting in a bandage that's too tight or rigid. In such cases, opt for a larger crepe bandage for better results.
When covering a dressing, a general rule of thumb is to select a bandage that fully covers the dressing with an extra 2.5cm on either side. For larger dressings, choose the widest bandage available and wrap it carefully in overlapping layers to ensure proper coverage and secure dressing retention.
