Orthopedic Bandage

The orthopedic bandage is a specialized medical dressing used to support, stabilize, and protect injured or weakened parts of the musculoskeletal system, such as bones, joints, muscles, or ligaments. Typically made from materials like cotton, elastic, or synthetic fibers, these bandages are designed to provide compression, reduce swelling, and immobilize affected areas to promote healing. They are commonly used in the treatment of sprains, fractures, strains, or post-surgical recovery. 

Orthopedic bandages come in various forms, including elastic wraps, plaster or fiberglass casts, and self-adhesive strips, depending on the specific needs of the injury. Proper application is essential to ensure comfort and effectiveness while avoiding complications like restricted blood flow.
