收藏: Bandage

Bandages serve several roles: conforming bandages retain dressings, crepe bandages provide light support and compression for sprains and strains, and elastic bandages combine stretch with support. Choosing the right width and type makes application comfortable and effective.

How to Choose

Use a conforming bandage to hold dressings in place, and a crepe bandage for light compression and support of a sprained ankle, wrist or knee. Choose a width appropriate to the body part — narrower for wrists and hands, wider for knees and thighs. Apply firmly but not so tight that it restricts circulation; loosen if fingers/toes become numb, tingly or discoloured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy medical bandages in Singapore?
EMIS+ (emis.asia) stocks crepe, conforming and elastic bandages from BPositive and Assure in Singapore, including value bundles, with fast local delivery.

What is the difference between a crepe and a conforming bandage?
A crepe bandage provides light compression and support for sprains and strains. A conforming bandage is lighter and stretchier, designed mainly to retain dressings comfortably.

How tight should a support bandage be?
Apply firm, even pressure without cutting off circulation. If the area beyond the bandage becomes numb, tingly, pale or swollen, the bandage is too tight — remove and reapply more loosely.

What bandage width should I use?
Use narrower widths (e.g. 5–7.5 cm) for wrists, hands and ankles, and wider widths (10–15 cm) for knees, thighs and larger limbs, so the bandage conforms smoothly.
