First Aid Bandage

First aid bandage is a general term for a medical dressing or wrap used to provide immediate care for minor injuries, such as cuts, scrapes, burns, or bruises. Typically made from materials like cotton, gauze, or elastic fabric, these bandages are designed to protect wounds, stop bleeding, and prevent infection by covering the affected area. They come in various forms, including adhesive bandages (e.g., Band-Aids), sterile gauze pads, rolled bandages, or elastic wraps, depending on the injury's nature and location. 

First aid bandages may be used alone or with additional supplies like antiseptic ointment or tape to secure them in place. Portable and easy to apply, they are a key component of first aid kits, offering a quick, temporary solution until professional medical help is available if needed. Their primary goal is to stabilize the injury and promote healing in emergency situations.
