compression wrap
Tight stretchy bandage
A compression wrap is an elastic bandage wrapped firmly around a body part to reduce swelling, support injured tissue, or improve circulation.
Athletes use compression wraps on sprained ankles or knees; medical versions treat conditions like lymphedema or varicose veins.
The wrap applies steady pressure without cutting off blood flow: Keep the compression wrap on for the first 48 hours.
