Elastic Crepe Bandage 10cm x 4.5m

Description

1. Product Overview
The Elastic Crepe Bandage (10cm x 4.5m) is a high-tensile, breathable medical textile engineered for uniform compression and joint support in clinical, surgical, and sports medicine environments. Its primary industrial use lies in wound care management, post-injury rehabilitation, and secure fixation of primary dressings without restricting patient mobility. The key value proposition is its optimized balance of sustained elasticity, moisture-wicking capability, and reusability—reducing material waste per patient episode. Strategically, it is critical for healthcare procurement due to rising demand for cost-efficient, standard-compliant consumables that lower per‑diem treatment costs while maintaining clinical outcomes.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material composition: Cotton (45%), viscose (35%), polyamide (10%), elastane (10%) — latex-free

• Tensile strength: ≥ 30 N/cm (longitudinal) at 100% extension per EN 14079

• Physical characteristics:

  • Color: Natural white / light beige

  • Width: 10 cm ± 0.5 cm

  • Unstretched length: 4.5 m ± 0.2 m

  • Stretched length: ≥ 9.0 m

  • Areal density: 45 g/m² ± 5%

• Packaging options:

  • Individual: Polyethylene bag (sterile or non-sterile)

  • Bulk: 120 rolls/carton, carton dimensions 38x32x28 cm

• Shelf life: 3 years in original sealed packaging (15–30°C, <65% RH)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Hospital procurement groups, military medical logistics, industrial first-aid suppliers, veterinary clinics, sports team medical departments.

• Operational use cases:

  • Securing gauze over surgical incisions or chronic ulcers

  • Mild compression for sprains (ankle/wrist) and varicose veins

  • Post-venipuncture stabilization

• Performance advantage vs. alternatives: Compared to standard woven bandages, this crepe’s diagonal weave provides 40% greater conformability around joints without edge curling. Versus cohesive bandages, it permits multiple re-tensionings during a single dressing change.

• Efficiency benefit: One 4.5m roll covers average adult ankle-to-knee compression wrapping (3–4 layers), reducing product consumption by 18% compared to 2.7m rolls.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-to-batch elongation variation <5% (ISO 9001:2025 certified; validated via third-party lab testing).

• Supply reliability: Dual-source raw material contracts with 98.5% on-time-in-full (OTIF) performance across 36 months.

• Logistics capability: 72-hour dispatch from regional hubs (EU, NA, SEA) for expedited B2B replenishment.

• Price competitiveness: Tiered pricing achieving 12–15% landed cost savings vs. equivalent UK/EU brands for volumes ≥20 MT.

• Sustainability: Biodegradable substrate and recyclable carton packaging; meets EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 and REACH compliance.

• Technical support: Full documentation pack (COA, IFU, stability study summary) available via API or customer portal.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 metric tons (approx. 3,700 cartons / 444,000 rolls)
