Introduction
Elastic bandages are a cornerstone in orthopaedic and wound care, offering essential support and compression. The MEDILINK® Elastic Bandage stands out as a high-quality solution, designed with precision for diverse medical, sports, and first-aid scenarios.

The History of Elastic Bandages
The concept of elastic bandages has evolved significantly since their inception. Originally crafted from simple woven fabrics, early bandages offered limited stretch and durability. The introduction of synthetic elastic materials in the mid-20th century revolutionized bandage technology, making them more versatile and effective.
