Compression Bandages are used to improve the healing process of wounds
Bandages are used to provide support and protection. The bandage is done up in a way that it meets the wound completely and covers most of it so that no further damage can be caused. Bandages should also have enough adhesive property to hold the dressing in place. Bandages are used to support or protect the injured or ill body part. Bandages come in various shapes and sizes, depending on the part of the body they are being applied to. Bandages are strips of cloth, or a plastic film or foam that are wrapped around the wound to cover, cushion or hold a dressing. Bandages can be made from cotton, silk, polyester, linen and wool. The most common bandages include gauze dressings and adhesive tape.
