Description
Multigate MultiCrepe Heavy Weight Elastic Cotton Crepe Bandage is a hospital-grade, single-use support bandage designed to provide moderate compression for limb support and dressing retention. Woven from 100% cotton in a conformable elastic crepe construction, it balances controlled stretch with breathability to maintain comfortable placement while allowing functional mobility. Non-fraying edges help reduce linting and preserve integrity during application. The bandage is latex-free and white in colour, suitable for general wards, emergency care, sports injury management, and routine clinical use. Supplied non-sterile, with sterile variants also available to meet procedural requirements.
