Wound Care 101: Choosing Between Crepe, Elastic Adhesive and POP Bandages

Bandages might look interchangeable, but each type is engineered for a specific clinical purpose. Choosing the right bandage speeds healing and improves patient comfort.

Cotton Crepe Bandage

Woven from cotton with a natural stretch, crepe bandages provide gentle compression for sprains, strains and minor swelling. Reusable and washable, they are a workhorse in every first-aid kit.

Elastic Adhesive Bandage (EAB)

EABs stick to skin and to themselves, providing firm compression and support. Commonly used post-injury on ankles and knees, and for immobilization during physiotherapy.

Plaster of Paris (POP) Bandage

POP casts are used for fracture immobilization. Delight Meditech's POP bandages set quickly, provide rigid support and are radiolucent for X-ray monitoring.
