unbandages
Takes off wrappings
Unbandages means to remove bandages from a wound, injury, or body part.
The action is typically done when a wound has healed sufficiently, when bandages need changing, or when a medical professional needs to examine the injury underneath.
The nurse carefully unbandages his arm to check on the stitches.
Like many "un-" verbs, it simply reverses the action of its root word.
