bandaged

Dressed with gauze

Bandaged describes something wrapped or covered with a bandage—a strip of material used to protect wounds or support injuries.

A bandaged hand has been dressed with cloth or gauze.

The word works as both adjective and past tense: She bandaged his ankle means she applied the wrapping; his bandaged ankle describes the result.
