Abstract

The first official British standards for bandages appeared in a supplement to the 1911 British Pharmaceutical Codex (BPC) which included a specification for crepe bandage, as well as monographs for simple non-extensible products such as calico, flannel, domette and open-wove bandages. These bandages had a simple retention function although they also provided warmth and protection.
