What is the difference between a sling and a bandage?
assistant
A sling is a type of bandage that is used to support an injured limb. It is made up of a fabric or webbing material, often elasticated, which is wrapped around the body part being supported. It can be worn over clothing or undergarments, depending on its design. A bandage is usually a strip of material designed to cover and protect a wound or injury, and may include gauze, tape, or other materials.
