Tensocrepe Elastic Crepe Bandage

Description

An elastic crepe bandage designed to deliver dependable compression and support for soft‑tissue injuries. Available in Medium and Heavy weight profiles (including Hospital Heavy Weight), it assists with the management of strains, sprains and conditions requiring controlled compression. The white bandage is constructed from high‑twist cotton and rayon yarns for consistent stretch and conformability; selected heavy‑weight variants also include polyamide for added strength and durability.

Light compression helps reduce inflammation in acute sprains and strains, while stronger compression in the heavy profiles helps restrict movement, support ligaments and soft tissue, and assist in the management of varicose veins, ulcers and oedema. A printed centre line guides even overlap during application.
