Bandages

Bandage

— bandages, often applied to joints, come in various forms, including dense and elastic variations. They can be in the shape of elastic tubes encasing limbs or belts secured with Hook-and-loop or other fasteners. The primary purpose of bandages is not only to rigidly secure joints but also to restrict mobility, preventing dislocations and sprains while reducing the load. Additionally, there are corrective orthopedic bandages designed, for instance, to align the joint of the big toe.
