The Essity Elastocrepe Cotton Crepe Bandage 8cm x 4m is a stretchable cotton crepe bandage designed for applications where controlled support, wrapping and compression are required. Its 8cm width and 4-metre length provide a practical balance between targeted coverage and flexibility, making it suitable for a variety of first-aid, orthopedic and rehabilitation requirements.
Made for applications where a comfortable elastic wrap is preferred, this type of cotton crepe bandage can be used around appropriate joints, limbs and soft-tissue areas. The 8cm width makes it a useful middle-size option when a 6cm bandage may be too narrow but a 10cm or 15cm bandage may provide more coverage than necessary.
MedIN's surgical and medical consumables range includes bandages and support products intended for clinical, first-aid and home-care requirements.
