@Drmanu Asker has used "band" and not "bandage" after all (check her note under my suggestion)
Drmanu49 Jan 27, 2016:
Sorry to disagree with the initial answer but bandage suggests a wound whereas in this case as I first suggested, this is a band being wrapped around the leg, like compression stockings.

neutral Drmanu49 : No I don't think it's a bandage, that would be pansement.

It definitely is a compression wrap and NOT a bandage. That would be pansement in French.

It is a compression wrap, not a bandage, that's for sure.
