Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between crepe and cohesive bandages?
A: Crepe provides light elastic support secured with clips or tape. Cohesive sticks to itself without fasteners. Both provide similar support levels. Cohesive is faster to apply; crepe is the traditional NHS standard.
Q: How tight should a crepe bandage be applied?
A: Firm enough to feel supportive but not restricting blood flow. Check circulation beyond the bandage regularly. If the area becomes cold, numb, or discoloured, loosen immediately.
