A dressing bandage is a fabric wrap used for securing wound dressings in place, supporting ligaments and tendons, and providing moderate compression and pain relief. Depending on the injury at hand, you may need either a medium or heavy weight dressing bandage. Medium weight Elastoplast Crepe Bandages are used as a dressing retention, keeping gauze, wound pads or sterile compresses in place over an open wound. They also naturally provide light compression, alleviating swelling. Heavy weight Elastoplast Crepe Bandages are suitable when there is a strain or sprain that requires firmer support. Proper wrapping allows them to support crucial ligaments and muscles, provide moderate compression, and secure any dressings in place. This is useful in situations involving both an open wound and a joint injury.
