Information
has gloss	(noun) a bandage containing stretchable material that can apply local pressure elastic bandage
has gloss	eng: Elastic bandage (also known as an elastic wrap or compression bandage) is defined by the American Heritage Stedman’s Medical Dictionary, , as “a stretchable bandage used to create localized pressure." Elastic bandages are commonly used to treat muscle sprains and strains by reducing the flow of blood to a particular area by the application of even stable pressure which can restrict swelling at the place of injury. Elastic bandages are also used to treat bone fractures. Padding is applied to the fractured limb, then a splint (usually plaster) is applied. The elastic bandage is then applied to hold the splint in place and to protect it. This is a common for fractures which may swell, which would cause a cast to function improperly. These types of splints are usually removed after swelling has decreased and then a fiberglass or plaster cast can be applied.
