What is the difference between a sling and a bandage?
assistant
A sling is a device that supports an injured or disabled limb. It typically consists of a fabric material, such as cotton, nylon, or polyester, that is supported by straps or webbing. A bandage is a type of medical dressing used to cover a wound or other injury. Bandages are usually made from gauze or cotton and may be elasticated for better fit.
