bandages
First-aid gauze rolls
Bandages are strips of material used to cover and protect wounds or hold dressings in place.
The word works as both noun and verb: The nurse applied fresh bandages to the burn, She bandaged his sprained ankle.
Figuratively, to bandage something is to cover it up temporarily without addressing the underlying problem.
