Elastic bandages made of a light crinkled fabric woven of any of various fibers (i.e., cotton, crepe). These bandages usually include some elastomeric material that provides light (usually less than 20 mm Hg) pressure to a body part. Crepe bandages are used mainly to provide support and light pressure to a limb to treat mild sprains and strains or to prevent edema.
