Rigid bandage padded over bony protrusions. A zinc paste bandage can be applied with finished, moist zinc paste bandages (10 cm to 10 m) or with gauze bandages that are coated with zinc paste (so-called coated zinc paste bandage). The zinc paste technique is an important part of the Fischer compression bandage for the treatment of postthrombotic syndrome. It can also be used in artificially superimposed dermatoses to avoid scratch artifacts.
