A B S T R A C T Bandage A bandage which has been rendered elastic by inclusion therein of an elastomeric polymer film is described. The elastomeric polymer film may be present as an array of long strips from 1 to 5 mm in width placed from 1 to 6 mm apart to run the length of the bandage. Preferably the elastomeric polymer film is present as a ribbon which contains longitudinal slits. This ribbon adhered to the fabric of the bandage using heat and pressure contracts and the slits open providing the ribbon with an open area of from 25 to 75% within the bandage. A process for manufacturing the bandage by extending the elastomeric polymer film, adhering it to a fabric and then allowing the combination to relax to form the elastic bandage is described.
