The Essity Elastocrepe Cotton Crepe Bandage 15 cm x 4 m is a woven crepe support bandage designed to provide light support and compression around affected body areas. Its cotton-and-viscose construction is conformable and flexible, making it suitable for applications where a supportive bandage needs to follow body contours while allowing movement. Essity's product documentation describes Elastocrepe as a cotton crepe bandage intended for light support in the treatment of sprains and strains.

The 15 cm width provides broader coverage than narrower crepe bandages, making this size useful when a larger area needs supportive wrapping. The bandage is non-adhesive and can be secured using suitable bandage clips or another appropriate fastening method. Indian product information identifies this variant as 15 cm x 4 m, 1 piece.

Elastocrepe is also described as washable and reusable. For compression applications, correct wrapping technique is important: the bandage should feel supportive without being excessively tight. If numbness, tingling, unusual pain, discoloration or worsening symptoms occur, loosen or remove the bandage and seek appropriate medical advice.

7. Can I use Essity Elastocrepe for swelling?

Loosen or remove the bandage if you experience numbness, tingling, increasing pain, unusual colour change or other signs that circulation may be affected. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
