PBT Bandage (Polyester Bandage with Elasticity) is a type of elastic conforming bandage widely used in medical settings for wound care, sprains, and dressing retention. Here's a detailed overview:
PBT stands for Polyester/Polyamide Bandage with Elasticity. It is a lightweight, breathable, and stretchable bandage made primarily from polyester and spandex (or polyamide). It is not adhesive but holds securely by gently wrapping around body parts.
