Kids Bandage

Bandages are flexible materials used to cover, protect, and support wounds or injuries on the body. They help keep wounds clean by preventing dirt and bacteria from entering, control bleeding by applying pressure, and aid in the healing process by keeping the injured area stable. Bandages come in various types such as adhesive strips (like Band-Aids), gauze wraps, elastic bandages, and specialized medical dressings.

Functions of Bandages:

  • Protection: Prevents contamination and infection by keeping dirt, bacteria, and moisture away from wounds.

  • Absorption: Absorbs blood, pus, or other wound exudates to keep the wound dry and promote healing.

  • Compression: Helps control bleeding and reduce swelling by applying pressure.

  • Support and Immobilization: Provides support to injured joints, muscles, or bones, limiting movement to prevent further damage.

  • Securing Dressings: Holds sterile dressings or ointments in place over wounds.
