Multiply Bandage

The multi-ply bandage is a type of medical bandage made from multiple layers (or "plies") of woven fabric, typically cotton or a cotton-blend material. The term "multi-ply" refers to its construction, where several thin layers are combined to create a thicker, more absorbent, and durable bandage. These bandages are designed to provide enhanced protection and absorbency, making them suitable for dressing moderate to heavily exuding wounds, such as cuts, lacerations, or surgical incisions. 

Multi-ply bandages can be either sterile or non-sterile, depending on their intended use, and are often soft and breathable to ensure comfort against the skin. They are commonly available in rolls or pre-cut pads and can be secured with tape, clips, or other fasteners. Due to their layered structure, they offer versatility in first aid and clinical settings, balancing wound coverage with effective moisture management.
