bandage wrap

First aid strip

A bandage wrap is a strip of elastic or cloth material wound around a body part to provide support, compression, or protection.

The term is slightly redundant—bandages are wraps by nature—but emphasizes the wrapping action: She used a bandage wrap on her sprained ankle.

Common in first aid and athletic contexts.
