Velpeau bandage or crepe bandage is used to fix dressings for light support.
Velpeau or crepe tape is used to fix dressings for light support.
It's a stretchable fabric bandage used to hold and protect a dressing, and in the event of bleeding, it can be used to compress a wound. It is also used to compress muscle tears and other injuries. Its length and width are variable, allowing it to be adapted to different uses.
Protected by individual cellophane wrapping, it is made from 100% cotton, woven from threads that have shrunk to give it a waffle-like appearance.
For optimum fixation, we recommend the use of plasters or elastic fasteners.
