Binders and Supports

Captions available

The idea

Bandages and binders apply pressure and support to a wound, in addition to holding the dressing in place.

In practice

An abdominal binder, for example, supports an abdominal incision; elastic and rolled bandages support limbs.

Where people slip

The surgeon decides whether a binder is needed and when it is applied.
