What is a "bandage"?
A bandage is a piece of material, often cloth or gauze, used to wrap around a wound or injured part of the body. Its main purpose is to protect the wound from dirt, bacteria, and more injuries, while also applying gentle pressure to control bleeding and encourage healing. Bandages come in various sizes and types, including stretchy bandages for supporting sprains. Proper application of a bandage is important to make sure it stays in place and provides effective wound care.
