An elastic compression support for an absorbent wound dressing comprises a panel (1) of air-permeable elasticated material shaped so that when it is placed around a limb to be dressed it conforms to the shape of the limb, and a line of fastenings (5) for drawing together two long edges of the panel (1) as it is tightened around the limb to provide compression support. The fastenings (5) comprise mutually aligned pairs of tapes (9) secured to or tabs integral with the panel (1) along its long edges, arranged so that drawing the tapes or tabs apart in mutually opposite directions causes the panel (1) to be tightened in compression around the limb. Scale markings (11) on the tapes (9) or tabs give a visual indication of the compression applied by each mutually aligned pair of tapes or tabs.
