In the medical field, crepe bandages are frequently used to support and compress wounded limbs. Crepe bandage is typically made from cotton or a blend of cotton and other elastic fibers like polyester or latex. Nevertheless, most traditional crepe bandages are composed of synthetic materials, which some people may find uncomfortable or induce allergic reactions. The crepe weave gives the bandage its characteristic texture and elasticity, allowing it to conform to the shape of the body and provide compression and support. In this work, we investigate the synthesis of a new type of crepe bandage from natural materials obtained from the leaves of orchid trees. The special qualities of orchid tree leaves such as their strength, flexibility, anti inflammatory, antimicrobial, wound healing and analgesic nature have led to their selection. Mature orchid tree leaves are harvested, treated to increase their flexibility and resilience, and then woven into a cloth appropriate for use in medical applications. To make sure the created crepe bandage satisfies the requirements needed for medical use, its mechanical qualities such as tensile strength, elasticity, and compression capabilities are assessed. Furthermore, biocompatibility testing is done to evaluate any possible negative reactions that can occur when the bandage comes into contact with the skin. Some species of orchids contain compounds like flavonoids have been used for pain relief. Pain is common among adults and most often associated with general wear and tear from daily activities. It can be a nuisance and even debilitating in some circumstances. In this study we aim to develop crepe bandage with orchid tree leaves. These bandages are more comfortable to wear and at the same time pain relieving.
