Hartmann Crepe Elastic Bandage 4m x 7cm

Directions for Use:

1. Clean and dry the affected area before applying the bandage. 2. Start wrapping the bandage from the furthest point from your heart, moving upwards. 3. Overlap each layer of the bandage by approximately two-thirds of its width to ensure proper support. 4. Maintain a consistent tension while wrapping, but avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow. 5. Ensure the bandage lies flat against the skin without any creases or wrinkles. 6. Secure the end of the bandage with the provided clips or tape, ensuring it doesn't restrict movement or cause discomfort. 7. Regularly check the area below the bandage for any signs of discoloration, numbness, or tingling. If any of these occur, remove the bandage immediately and consult a healthcare professional.

Recommended Frequency:

The frequency of bandage changes depends on the individual and the specific condition being treated. Generally, it is recommended to reapply the bandage once or twice a day. For specific guidance, consult a healthcare professional. They can advise on the appropriate frequency based on your individual needs.

Additional Tips:

1. For optimal compression and support, especially in the lower limbs, apply the bandage in the morning before swelling occurs. 2. Avoid wearing the bandage overnight unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional. 3. While the bandage provides support, it's important to continue any prescribed exercises or physiotherapy to aid recovery. 4. If you are unsure about the correct application or experience any discomfort, consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist. 5. Do not reuse the bandage. Discard after each use. 6. Store the bandage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its elasticity.
