How to use a Crepe Bandage
Forearm, Thigh and Calf
- Start below the injury
- Hold the end of the bandage flat against the skin, or ask someone to help hold it in place.
- Using a spiral pattern, wind the bandage around the limb, overlapping ⅔ of the bandage each time so the area is evenly covered.
- When the area is covered, snip off the bandage from the roll with a little to spare, and secure it in place with microporous tape.
Knee, Ankle, Wrist and Elbow
- Wrap straight around the limb once in a loop above or below the injury to secure the bandage in place.
- Wrap the bandage in a figure-of-eight pattern across the joint so that each time the bandage loops around it goes above or below the joint.
- Finish with one or two loops around the limb and secure with microporous tape.

When to seek medical assistance
Seek medical advice for the following scenarios when using Sterocrepe:
- Persistent pain or discomfort despite using Sterocrepe bandage
- Excessive swelling that does not reduce with moderate compression
- Signs of circulation being compromised, such as numbness, tingling, or a blue tinge in the extremities
- Any allergic reactions, such as rashes or itching
- Signs of infection around the wound or injured area, such as redness, warmth, or discharge
Sterocrepe is designed for moderate compression and support. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. Always follow the guidance of a medical practitioner when using Sterocrepe for more serious or persistent injuries.
