Adhesive bandage

This type of bandage is used to provide support for the ligaments and tendons located in the lower limb contralateral to the injured leg which is bearing excessive weight.

These material consist of; wooden slats, metal bars, lower temperature thermoplastic material, and casting material. Surprising the most commonly used material is a PVC pipe.

During the summer me and my friend Jasmine were driving to Burlington to set up our FFA both for the county fair. We needed a hot glue gun so we made our way to her friends house.
