ABSTRACT:
A bandage is defined by a layer of closed cell foam polymeric material sandwiched between and bonded to adjacent layers of fabric. One of the layers of fabric is absorbent with respect to aqueous liquids and is adapted to be in contact with an area of the body. A plurality of straps are releasably attached to the bandage to form a compress. The straps facilitate adjustment of the compress. Optionally, a plurality of elongated pockets may be sewn to the fabric layer opposite the absorbent layer for insertion of straps to form a brace or provide for additional cooling. Electrodes may be incorporated into the bandage to provide electrical stimulation.
