-
Long pieces of material designed for holding dressings and/or small devices (e.g., intravenous needles), to cover and protect superficial wounds, or to support and compress body parts. Bandages may be made of elastic or nonelastic materials; they are typically available in rolls and are single-use (i.e. not reusable). Bandages supplied as liquids that become solid after drying are also available.
