    A bandage is a material used to provide support for medical dressings or injured body parts. Bandages help dressings stay firmly on wounds, support hurt joints, reduce swelling, and stop bleeding by restricting movement of the injured area. Common bandage types include triangular, crepe, gauze, and adhesive bandages. Bandages are applied using circular, spiral, reverse spiral, or figure-of-eight wrapping techniques and secured with tape, metal, safety pins, or binders. Proper bandage application involves washing hands, positioning the patient, assessing the injury site, and wrapping from inner to outer aspects of the limb while ensuring no wrinkles or restricted circulation.
