crepe bandage

Stretchy medical wrap

A crepe bandage is an elasticated cloth bandage used to support sprains, strains, and muscle injuries.

The distinctive crinkled weave allows it to stretch and conform to body contours while providing compression: She wrapped a crepe bandage around his swollen ankle.

Common in first aid kits and athletic settings.
