ABSTRACT
One of the common problems and challenges to the modern world is trauma and its management. The observance of immobilisation is the key to treat fracture or a wound. A bandage plays a more important part as regards its healing and curative efficacy, inasmuch as it materially contributes to the purification and healing of an ulcer and also keeps the joints steady. Bandhana is the technique of bandaging mentioned in Susrutha Samhita written around 1st BC. Acharya Susrutha mentioned about this in Susrutha Samhita in vrana alepana bandhana vidhi.
