Abstract

A elastic bandage having a tubular shape with an opening for a thub disposed therein. The dandage is adapted to be disposed about the top, bottom and both sides of the hand. It is characterized by a profiled padding on opposite sides of the bandage and is adapted to engage the opposite sides of the hand and wrist. The padding tapers into unpadded portions of the bandage in the regions between the sides of the hand and the top and the bottom of the hand so that the bandage urges against the top and the bottom of the hand with only slight pressure in the unpadded regions. The padding acts like pillars supporting the bandage which spans the space between them.
