Medistar crepe bandages are made from a woven cotton crepe fabric blended with elastic fibres to provide stretch and compression. The bandage is non-adhesive and breathable. Packaging may indicate whether natural rubber latex is used in seams or elastic components—if you have latex sensitivity, check the product label or contact the supplier before use.

For general support and compression:

1. Start below the injured area and anchor the bandage with one wrap.
2. Wrap upwards with moderate tension, overlapping each turn by approximately 50% to ensure even compression.
3. Avoid excessive tightness—check capillary refill and comfort. If numbness, tingling or increased pain occurs, remove and reapply with less tension.
4. Secure the end with bandage clips, tape or a retention dressing.
5. For dressing retention, cover the wound with a sterile pad, then apply the crepe bandage to hold the dressing in place.

Seek professional medical advice for fractures, severe swelling or persistent pain.

Suitable for athletes, physiotherapists, sports clubs, first responders, schools, workplaces and home first aid kits. Use for mild-to-moderate sprains, strains, joint support during activity, and to secure dressings following minor procedures or wound care.

Caution: Do not use crepe bandages as a substitute for professional immobilisation of fractures. Avoid wrapping so tightly that circulation is impaired. Remove immediately if there is increased pain, swelling, numbness or discoloration. Consult a healthcare professional for circulatory problems or deep vein issues. If you have a known latex allergy, verify product composition before use.

Storage: Keep bandages in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Store in original packaging to protect from dust and contamination. Follow manufacturer instructions for washing and reuse—typically gentle machine wash or hand wash and air dry.
