1. A resiliently stretchable bandage having a non-adhesive surface which resists slipping when the bandage is wrapped around a limb under tension, the bandage including one or more areas of slip resistant material and one or more areas lacking slip resistant material, the maximum extension of the bandage being up to 200% of its relaxed length, and the bandage having an elastic modulus of at least 400 g, the elastic modulus being expressed as the mass which would have to be hung from the bandage to extend it by 40% of the additional length of the bandage when extended from its relaxed state to substantially its maximum extended length, wherein the slip resistant material is slip resistant relative to human skin, and wherein the resilient stretchability of the bandage, the modulus and the areas of slip resistant material permit the location and magnitude of the compressive force resulting from such wrapping to be freely varied.
