bandage
Strip for cuts
A bandage is a strip of material wrapped around a wound or injury—to protect it, apply pressure, or hold a dressing in place.
To bandage is to apply such a strip: She bandaged his sprained ankle.
Figuratively, to bandage something is to cover or patch it hastily: They bandaged over the real problems.
