Bandages are a section of fabric used to stabilize a medical item, for instance, a splint or dressing, or to limit or support the mobility of a bodily component on its own. When a dressing is combined with a bandage, the dressing is placed directly on the wound as well as is maintained firmly in place by a bandage. Different bandages, like elastic bandages that are used to reduce swelling or support a sprained ankle, are applied without the use of dressings. When an arm or a leg is bleeding profusely, tight bandages can indeed be utilized to reduce the amount of blood that reaches the extremities.
