A bandaging means for retaining dressings in place comprises a tubular fabric of special open mesh structure. Row of chain stitches made from non-elastic yarn extend in axial direction of the fabric, and elastic yarns are each arranged in reciprocating fashion between two successive rows of chain stitches and linked therewith so as to form between those two rows of chain stitches, on tensioning of the fabric, a line of trapeziums alternately inverted in relation to each other. The two parallel sides of each trapezium are formed by the rows of chain stitches and the other two sides are formed by the elastic yarn. |
