linen bandages

Fabric wound dressings

Linen bandages are strips of linen cloth used for wrapping wounds or binding injuries.

The term appears most often in historical or archaeological contexts—ancient Egyptian mummies were wrapped in linen bandages.

In modern usage, bandages are typically made from cotton or synthetic materials, making linen bandages sound archaic or specialized.
