Common "crepe bandage" queries answered by top doctors

Medical Conditions - Crepe Bandage

Crepe bandages are used for pain relief post-injury or fracture healing and are mostly made of cotton. They provide the necessary compression and firm support. They also help in reducing swelling and secure wound dressing. These are manufactured in skin color and are washable and reusable. It is advisable to remove these crepe bandages during sleep to promote adequate blood flow to the region. Also, these should not be tied so tight to regulate proper blood flow to the area.

All crepe bandage Q&A

I got injured while playing football. Is there any ligament damage?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I think it might be a grade 3 strain and there is no such tear of ligament. But, it is always good to get confirmation about it. Have an x-ray as soon as possible.
