Bandage

A bandage is a flexible material that is wrapped around an injured area of the body to provide protection, support, or compression. It is commonly used to cover wounds, secure dressings, or stabilize injured limbs, promoting healing and comfort. These are the most common types of general consumables used widely.

Types of Bandages:

• Roller Bandage: Versatile consumable, available in various widths/materials for wound dressing, support, and compression.
• Crepe Bandages: Support injured joints, reduce swelling, alleviate pain, and are used as compression dressings.
• Short-stretch Compression Bandages: Provide high compression with minimal recoil, ideal for sustained compression needs.
• Long-stretch Compression Bandages: Stretch significantly, offering sustained compression even during movement.
• Snake Bite Bandages: Immediately slow venom spread, with firm pressure and immobilization to reduce venom spread.
• Triangular Bandages: Used for arm slings, head/neck support, pressure dressings, and splinting.
• Broad-Fold Bandage: Provides additional layers and coverage, suitable for supporting larger areas or bulky injuries and functioning as a skin adhesive.
• Narrow-Fold Bandage: Ideal for smaller areas or injuries where broader bandages might be cumbersome.
• Pad: Protects wounds, absorbs fluids, and provides padding to reduce pressure.
• Tubular Bandages: Slide over limbs for support, compression, postoperative dressing, and edema management.
• Cohesive Bandages: Read More
