12	When someone is badly injured and you need to get that across, show them post-accident partly or completely encased in plaster casts and/or bandages. Usually, they'll be in a hospital bed, with maybe one or two arms or legs suspended, and completely immobilised.
13
14	If the tone of the work is lighter or more comedic, [[AmusingInjuries expect it to be played for laughs]]. For example, screams muffled by the bandages as a visitor accidentally sits on an injured limb, or the patient trying and failing to crane his neck forward to eat his dessert.
15
16	If the work is more serious or the creator feels like dropping a DramaBomb, well... few things are more shocking than seeing a loved one unconscious, immobile and so wrapped up they no longer recognize him.
17
18	Not to be confused with BandagedFace, or with a literal {{Mummy}}. Although obviously, expect people to make comparisons and jokes related to the latter.
19
20	TruthInTelevision, obviously. Compare and contrast AmbulanceCut for a related piece of visual shorthand.

27	[[folder:Advertising]]
28	* That Advertising/GotMilk commercial shows a guy in a full body cast being fed a cookie by his family and choking since he wasn't given any milk with it.
29	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpPhin1p2ok This]] ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' US commercial shows what the misuse of Djinn will lead to.
30	* A commercial and print ad for the first ''VideoGame/TyTheTasmanianTiger'' game has Ty entering a hospital room with three completely bandaged patients labeled "[[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Dragon]]", "[[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot Bandicoot]]", and "[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Hedgehog]]".
31	[[/folder]]
32
33	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
34	* ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': When [[GenkiGirl Mahiro]] is looking after an injured [[ActionGirl Tokiko]], she overuses the bandages to such an extent that Tokiko ends up totally covered in them, and [[ShoutOut looks like Shishio Makoto]] from the author's previous work ''Manga/RurouniKenshin''.
35	* In ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', this happens twice to Spike: after falling out of a window in "[[Recap/CowboyBebopSession5BalladOfFallenAngels Ballad of Fallen Angels]]", and after being trashed by the title character in "[[Recap/CowboyBebopSession20PierrotLeFou Pierrot le Fou]]".
36	* Goku winds up like this in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' after his first fight with Vegeta. The only thing that isn't covered up is his face.
37	* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Natsu Dragneel's gotten this more than once, most notably [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120804013533/fairytailfanon/images/2/24/Gajeel_and_Natsu_Bandaged.jpg after his and Gajeel's fight with Laxus]].
38	* Ed winds up like this in a manga-only scene from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''. It's surprising at first since when he was last seen his injuries weren't nearly as bad, but Major Armstrong made the mistake of giving Ed another one of his crushing bearhugs at the worst possible time.
39	* Played for laughs in ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'' when Gudelhian is wrapped around like a mummy in ''11'' after Heinel beat him up for using the radio too much. A more serious one happens in the next OVA, ''Zero'', when Hayato is seen lying on the hospital bed, his body completely wrapped in bandages except for his right hand and face after the accident involving the Zero Zone.
40	* ''Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro'': Before Kitaro's father original body died, he suffered a disease that caused his body to decompose. He had to be completely covered in bandages from head to foot like a mummy.
41	* Onigumo, from ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', is almost always depicted as this in flashbacks, since he first began to lust after Kikyo while she was tending to his injuries. His desire for her led him to merge with a group of demons, turning him from an ordinary human bandit into a half demon.
42	* In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'', Hazamada is covered with injuries and bandages after getting beaten by Josuke and Koichi. While recovering in the hospital, he informs the heroes about how [[RedStringOfFate Stand Users are inadvertently bound to cross paths]].
43	* In ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'', [[spoiler: one of the students of Kyoto Jujutsu High School who controls a doll called Mechamaru Ultimate covers himself with many bandages due to his sensitive and fragile skin.]]
44	* ''Manga/{{Kekkaishi}}'' has Kaguro who is a mummified ayakashi which has the excuse of being electrocuted prior his current form to explain why he looks that way.
45	* Mr. Shinuhe from ''Manga/TheKurosagiCorpseDeliveryService'' -- who may be a revivified Egyptian mummy, or just a burn victim who knows way too much about ancient Egyptian burial customs for comfort. He seems to enjoy teasing our heroes with evidence either way.
46	* After the police assail Lupin's hideout in ''Anime/LupinIIIPilotFilm'', one man, wearing bandages over everything except his police cap, reports back to Inspector Zenigata that they've been unable to capture Lupin.
47	* Isamu in ''Anime/MacrossPlus'' after a crash while flight-testing an experimental Variable Fighter.
48	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
49	** Aizawa spends the Sports Festival arc wrapped head-to-toe in bandages and casts after the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he received during the USJ arc.
50	** In the OVA "Training of the Dead", this is Midoriya's fate after he hits Bakugo when the Zombification Quirk has worn off the latter and Bakugou takes this as a direct attack on him. When All-Might visits his prodigy and tries to apologize by giving him cake, Midoriya's entire face (even his eyes and mouth) is covered in bandages. Only leaving the poor boy tearfully saying he can't eat it.
51	** Happens to Kirishima after the assault on the Shie Hassaikai compound.
52	** A non-comedic example happens after the Paranormal Liberation War arc, [[spoiler: where Midoriya is severely injured and comatose after one of the most brutal arcs of the manga thus far.]]
53	* Muu from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' was completely covered in bandages from head to foot. The only visible parts are his eyes and nose, his fingers and toes. The Edo tensei version is covered even further and only his eyes and nose remain visible.
54	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' -- Rei at the beginning and [[spoiler:Eva-01/Yui herself after her armour comes off]].
55	* In an episode of ''Anime/NerimaDaikonBrothers'', Hideki is taken to an opportunistic hospital and placed in a hospital room. His brother Ichiro happens to be in the bed next to his, but since he's covered in bandages from head to toe, Hideki's reaction to Ichiro's attempts at communication is simply "Why is that mummy talking to me?"
56	* Usopp in ''Manga/OnePiece'', after the fight with Mr. 4 and Ms. Merry Christmas, in which he, among other injuries, is grabbed, smashed through some walls, and hit with a four-ton bat, sending him flying into the air and falling to earth.
57	** Taken to its [[ExaggeratedTrope logical extreme]] in Onigashima, where after Zoro tanks a particularly nasty CombinationAttack from two [[PersonOfMassDestruction Yonko]], he's basically crucified on a pair of splints and wrapped in a bandage cocoon, and then lugged around by Sanji to [[https://i.imgur.com/njDv4xD.png much hilarity.]]
58	* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''
59	** An early episode of the anime ("Ignorance is Blissey") has a Blissey wrapping most of Ash's body in bandages, then he turns around to a Nurse Joy who screams at the sight of him.
60	** "Training Daze" (from ''Anime/PokemonChronicles'') has a rare dramatic example after James goes off a bridge, but the drama takes a hit when he shows up afterwards and rips off the bandages to reveal his Rocket training uniform. Maybe he dressed and then re-bandaged himself for the showmanship. Later on, Butch is all wrapped up too after taking a plunge with Cassidy and Raticate during their last mission in training.
61	** In ''Anime/PokemonOrigins'', Blue faces off against Mewtwo, using Blastoise, but Mewtwo uses its psychic powers to send Blastoise flying, and it lands on Blue. Blue ends up being bandaged up by his grandfather, and Red finds him covered almost head-to-toe in bandages, with his arm in a sling.
62	* The lepers in ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'' covered themselves with bandages, not precisely to cover injuries, but for a different medical reason.
63	* Played for comedic effect multiple times in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''.
64	* In earlier chapters of ''Manga/RaveMaster'' Haru usually ends up heavily bandaged after his fights -- one time Elie even wraps him up like a mummy. Whether this stopped in later chapters because he became more skilled, Hiro Mashima decided it was too unrealistic, or he just realized that [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow his characters walked around with massive injuries so much anyway]] that there was no point in 'coddling' them is a mystery.
65	* [[TheSocialDarwinist Shishio Makoto]] of ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' is covered head-to-toe in bandages. His un-bandaged visage is [[MrFanservice surprisingly attractive]]... for someone who was [[RasputinianDeath shot and burned alive and survived]].
66	* Rajiv ends up as one in the manga adaptation of ''Manga/SandsOfDestruction'' after Kyrie turns his Destruct powers against him and his men. Somewhat unusual, given that ''most'' of Kyrie's ([[PowerIncontinence accidental]]) victims just end up turned to sand rather than severely injured.
67	* Played for comedy in ''Literature/{{Slayers}}''; Zolf, a.k.a. the "Mummy Man" in the first season of the television series and Naga in the first episode of the ''Slayers Excellent'' {{OVA}}s.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
71	* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': In Episode 40, after the other heroes accidentally hurt her, Sweet S. is shown covered almost entirely in bandages.
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Comic Books]]
75	* ''ComicBook/BatmanBlackAndWhite'': In the comedic "Batsman: Swarming Scourge of the Underworld", Alfred and Robin end up wrapped in bandages (variously accessorized with a neck brace, a crutch, an arm cast, and a wheelchair) after falling off a wall in a misguided attempt to help Batsman.
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:Fan Works]]
79	* During a mini-arc in ''Webcomic/AskTheRyans'', [[VideoGame/PunchOut Aran Ryan]] spends some time wrapped head to toe in bandages/plaster casts after getting burned by firecrackers.
80	* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': An injured Bolt ends up in a full-body cast after his harrowing dog fight with Ike in "The Wind." Rhino lampshades the similarity to Puffy in the film ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary'' when he sees the dog.
81	* ''Fanfic/HeroesOfTheNewWorld''; Queen ends up wrapped in bandages, missing his mechanical arm, and stuck in a motorized wheelchair after Kaido smashes him into paste for ignoring a report about Yamato acting strangely right before she made a successful escape attempt from Onigashima.
82	* Shamuhaza from ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' is an atypical example. He's wrapped in bandages head to toe, yet he is not immobilised in any way, and the readers have no idea whether he was injured or not.
83	* ''Fanfic/ThisBites'': Wyvern, the FutureBadass version of Cross that appears during the "1000th Review Spectacular" chapter, is completely covered in bandages, to the point of concealing the entirety of his face. To date, the present version of Cross has gained bandages on all four limbs (to protect the slowly healing electrical burns that Eneru inflicted on him in Skypeia) and also some on his face (to cover up the nasal cavity that was split open by Hattori at Eines Lobby), but he still has a long way to go before he reaches Wyvern's level.
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
87	* Bullseye is this at the end of ''Film/Daredevil2003''.
88	* While infiltrating a Nazi compound in German occupied France, the crew in ''Film/TheDirtyDozenNextMission'' hide their sole black member under layers of bandages as if he was heavily wounded.
89	* ''Film/DoctorSeries'':
90	** One of the patients in ''Film/DoctorInDistress1963'', Mrs. Roberts, has her entire face covered with bandages with only her eyes, nose, and mouth exposed.
91	** Mr. Parton from ''Film/DoctorInClover'' is in plaster from head to foot. The idea of Matron trying to give him a blanket bath around all of that is highly amusing to [[AnnoyingPatient Wendover]].
92	* ''Film/InspectorGadget1999'': After Officer John Brown is caught in an explosion, we next see him in a hospital as a bandage mummy. Shortly after, he is rebuilt as a cyborg, becoming Inspector Gadget.
93	* A classic one at the ending of ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld'' shows nearly the entire cast in hospital, bandaged or cast in plaster and bemoaning their fate. Cue Ethel Merman.
94	* Played for comedy in ''Film/JohnnyDangerously'', where Johnny's brother is in a full-body cast, next to another hospital patient with another full-body cast. His mother identifies Johnny's brother by the color of his eyes, and writes his name on the cast.
95	* The protagonist of ''Film/KungFuHustle'' is reduced to this state after he gets his ''everything'' beaten thoroughly by the Beast.
96	* The first ''Film/MadMax1'' movie has Max visiting Goose in hospital. When he sees what's left of him wrapped in bandages, he outright refuses to believe it's Goose.
97	* ''Film/NightOfTheDribbler'': Debbi got trapped in a shower room by the Dribbler, while being sprayed with scalding-hot water. In her next scene, she can be distinguished by cheerleading while she's covered head-to-toe with bandages.
98	* In ''Film/NowYouSeeHimNowYouDont'', this happens to Druffle after an accident with the [[ScaryStingingSwarm bumblebees]] that he was using for his science project, making him look like Literature/TheInvisibleMan. To add insult to injury, Druffle is actually allergic to bee stings.
99	* In ''Film/{{Patton}}'', the eponymous character shares an uncharacteristically tender moment with one of these while presenting Purple Hearts at a field hospital -- [[MoodWhiplash just before slapping a shell shocked soldier.]]
100	* Franz Liebkind is reduced to a version of this by the end of ''Film/TheProducers'', although still wearing his Nazi helmet.
101	* Happened to the dog in ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary''.
102	* In ''Film/UpTheFront'', Fanny has Lurk covered in bandages in order to sneak him out of the field hospital without Colonel von Gutz discovering him.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Literature]]
106	* One example played simultaneously for laughs and {{Squick}} is from ''Literature/CatchTwentyTwo'', in which a fully-bandaged wounded flier has one tube going in and one tube going out, and once a day the bottles of fluid attached to each tube are switched around. At least one person makes the claim that nobody's in there, [[CassandraTruth but nobody believes him]].
107	* This term is used almost word-for-word by one of characters in Aleksander Kamiński's ''Kamienie na szaniec'' (''Stones for the rampart; the story of two lads in the Polish underground movement'') to describe Rudy's look after being freed from a Nazi prison. [[spoiler:Rudy dies shortly afterwards due to injuries sustained during brutal interrogation conducted by Gestapo.]]
108	* In ''[[Literature/LittleHouseOnThePrairie Little House in the Big Woods]]'', a kid who [[ScaryStingingSwarm gets swarmed by bees]] is shown all wrapped up in the illustrations.
109	* Not completely covered, but Mr. Bump of ''Literature/MrMen'' fame.
110	* ''The Way Things Work'' has a picture of a mammoth severely injured in a gliding accident bandaged and posed to look like an airplane.
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
114	* ''Series/AlloAllo'', In the Season 5 episode ''The Dreaded Circular Saw'', Von Smallhausen ends up like this after he and Herr Flick get caught in an explosion.
115	* ''Series/BlakesSeven''. The RebelLeader Shivan in the episode "[[Recap/BlakesSevenS2E10VoiceFromThePast Voice From The Past]]", who's been so horribly tortured by the Federation that he's a bandaged cripple who can barely speak. [[spoiler:Eventually he rips off his bandages to reveal himself as TheDragon in disguise.]]
116	* A ChristmasEpisode of ''Series/DropTheDeadDonkey'' had Damian's ButtMonkey cameraman, Gerry, appear at the newsroom party as a bandage mummy in a wheelchair, maintaining his position as TheGhost and demonstrating the AmusingInjuries implied by the regular CameraAbuse in Damien's reports.
117	* The first episode of ''Series/FatherTed'' ends with Ted covered in bandages after a fall from the 'Crane of Death'.
118	* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': The ''only'' time Niles's wife, [[TheGhost Maris]] is shown on-screen is when she's covered head to toe with bandages.
119	* ''Series/GetSmart'': Max gets the full-body treatment a few times.
120	* One episode of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' features Blanche deciding to get extensive plastic surgery after fearing she is losing her looks. On the day of the procedure, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia come to the hospital and enter her recovery room, where someone with a face covered in bandages is lying in bed. After they comfort "her" repeatedly, the person lifts their blankets to [[DiscretionShot discreetly show what's underneath]] -- and let's just say that it's a male patient. Sophia naturally [[DeadpanSnarker makes a joke]]: "You've got a hell of a lawsuit, Blanche!" We later find out that Blanche had a change of heart and cancelled her surgery after the surgeon himself asked her out (as she puts it, the fact that a man who could literally change any appearance wanted ''hers'' made her feel amazing).
121	** In another episode, Blanche hears that her latest beau was in an accident and, after some reluctance, heads to the hospital. She enters the room and discovers a man wrapped head to toe in bandages being comforted by his wife, who is naturally furious that another woman has showed up. The wife storms out swearing that she's calling her attorneys...and then Blanche's ''actual'' boyfriend calls out to her from the other bed in the room. Whoops.
122	* ''Series/TheGoodies''
123	** The entire Royal Family ends up like this after the Goodies suggest a ZanyScheme involving Royals OnIce! So the Goodies have to take their place for a rerun (for tourist reasons) of the Coronation. When the hospitalized Royals realise this will make Bill, Tim and Graham the new Royal Family, they go racing off to stop it, bandages and all. Incidentally this trope was a good way to get around the InvisiblePresident problem.
124	** In "Kung Fu Capers", Tim ends up like this when Bill demonstrates his Eckythump technique on him and Graham (who just as a couple of [[RuleOfFunny bandaged feet at the end of his crutches]]). He has himself plastered up in a martial arts stance so he can be ready the next time Bill attacks, only to realise he DidNotThinkThisThrough the first time he tries to throw a karate chop.
125	** Tim and Graham end up like this at the end of "Cunning Stunts". It earns them a joint First Prize as Raving Loony of the Year.
126	* In ''Series/HorribleHistories'' there's one of these in a Historical Hospital sketch. There's also an ancient Egyptian. He runs out the door yelling "Mummy!" as a pun on IWantMyMommy.
127	* In ''Series/{{MASH}}'', as a practical joke, Hawkeye and BJ give Margaret's fiance a three-quarters body cast from the chest down during his bachelor party after he passes out, claiming that he has a broken leg, so he's all plastered up for the wedding and the honeymoon.
128	* In ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' [[http://www.ibras.dk/montypython/episode27.htm Episode 27]], Erik Njorl is called into court to answer charges that he (among other things) assaulted police officers. He's wrapped in bandages from head to toe due to the injuries he received in the fight.
129	** Done several other times, including the hilarious sketch with fully bandaged patients being forced to wait on the doctors hand and foot, with the most seriously injured among them forced to compete in sports, such as running obstacle courses.
130	* An episode of ''Series/MrBean'' had one of the patients of a TakeANumber hospital in a full body cast. He tries jumping the queue by stealing that patient's ticket, among other tactics.
131	* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. In "[[{{Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS1E8Emanations}} Emanations]]", Harry Kim is accidentally transported to a planet where those about to die wrap themselves up in a burial shroud when they enter the sarcophagus that transports them into "the next emanation". When Harry has to make a desperate effort to get back to Voyager, he changes places with someone about to be euthanised who decides he really doesn't want to die after all, and the bandages conveniently hide his identity.
132	* This happens when Jerri runs Mr. Jellineck over in ''Series/StrangersWithCandy''.
133	--> "Those lips! Those pillowy lips!"
134	* The original GrandFinale of ''Series/WillAndGrace'' has Jack and Karen decide to save the titular duo's friendship by tricking them into coming to a hospital. As they talk out their problems, a bandaged patient repeatedly calls homosexuality "sinful" and scolds them. Before they head out, Will stops and plants a big kiss on the guy... who promptly [[YouAreWhatYouHate asks "Call me?"]]
135	[[/folder]]
136
137	[[folder:Manhua]]
138	* The flashback / final chapter of ''Manhua/MyBelovedMother'', this is the tragic fate of Aya, the mother of protagonist Sinbell, after [[MamaBear using her body to shield her son from a gas explosion]]. And her DyingWish? For her mind to be transplanted into a robot body to continue taking care of her child.
139	[[/folder]]
140
141	[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
142	* The subject of a few ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' strips; in one, a guy is completely mummified, while his slightly less battered buddy tells a doctor something like "So this big gorilla was just lyin' there, and Jim got to wonderin' if it was dead or just sleepin'.." In another, the visitor to the mummy's bedside starts going on and on ''and on'' about how unbearably itchy casts can get.
143	* One ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' arc saw the fat cat get into a fight with a big dog and end up in a full-body cast (in a bit of LeaningOnTheFourthWall, veterinarian Liz remarks that Garfield will be in the cast for a week, and he remarks "I suspected as much" -- a nod to the fact that most plots at that time lasted exactly that long). The strips are most noticeable for giving [[TheChewToy Odie]] a few literal moments of TheDogBitesBack, as he plays all manner of pranks on the immobile Garfield. The arc ends with Garfield having his bandages removed and, after scratching himself silly, getting revenge on Odie by whacking him with the cast itself.
144	** An early Sunday strip has Garfield popping bubbles while Jon is relaxing in a bubble bath. One absolutely ''massive'' bubble comes up, and Garfield promptly pops that one [[NothingIsFunnier to presumably disastrous effect]]. The final panel has Lyman questioning what happened upon seeing a heavily bandaged Jon and an almost completely mummified Garfield. Jon's response: "You wouldn't believe it if I told you."
145	[[/folder]]
146
147	[[folder:Video Games]]
148	* Throughout the entire ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' series from the first one to ''New Horizons'', Lucky, a lazy dog villager, is ''completely covered'' in bandages. Why is he wearing them? Well, it was stated that he had "[[NoodleIncident a bizarre fishing accident involving a hook and two bass]]".
149	* In ''VideoGame/DayOfTheTentacle'', Dead Cousin Ted is wrapped in a bandage.
150	* In ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea\|HourOfDarkness}}'', [[RecurringBoss Mid-Boss]] appears like this after one of the fights against him.
151	* In ''VideoGame/ElroyGoesBugzerk'', if you bother a nest of hornets too many times, the GameOver screen shows Elroy and Blue covered in bandages.
152	* ''Videogame/FallenLondon'': Tomb-colonists, due to getting caught in a certain spot between [[DeathIsCheap coming back from death like everyone else]] and [[ChunkySalsaRule getting killed messily]] that makes it so they're still alive, but are torn to pieces and have a bad case of rotting in life. They need them to keep themselves together, and to hide their visages from everyone else.
153	* Joshua Graham of ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', due to being burned alive [[YouHaveFailedMe for his failure]] by Caesar. By passing a speech check, he tells you that every night he has to replace the bandages and upon exposing his wounds to the air he feels the pain of being burned alive once again.
154	* Every time your character lost all his energy in the ''VideoGame/{{Ghostbusters 1990}}'' video game adaptation for SEGA Megadrive/Genesis, he would become covered in bandages. Played for comedy.
155	* A few hostile aliens will disguise themselves as bedridden patients who are bandaged head to toe in the hospital level of ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries – Crashdown.''
156	* Otani Yoshitsugu from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' is bandaged head to foot due to suffering from leprosy, with only his BlackEyesOfCrazy visible. It's pretty damn unnerving.
157	* Humorously referenced in VideoGame/DrMario's Classic Mode victory screen for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', where he and Nurse Jigglypuff are standing in front of a mummy as if it were a bandaged patient. It's actually a ''real'' {{mummy}} from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''.
158	* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfHorror'', your character's face will be completely wrapped in bandages if they receive the Burn injury.
159	[[/folder]]
160
161	[[folder:Web Comics]]
162	* Webcomic/DocRat: [[http://www.docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisitem=645 Necessary treatment for a splinter in the paw]]. But not for a [[http://www.docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=675 fractured hand]].
163	* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'': When the town of Lynn's Brook is decimated by the Infernomancer, Dex Garret is left in this condition. A more dramatic use of this trope as it shows the extent of his injuries after the attack. Even after he manages to recovery enough to leave the hospital, his face remains bandaged until the end of the comic due to the severity of his wounds.
164	* In ''[[Webcomic/TheChosenFour EarthBound: The Chosen Four]]'', upon entering [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Dungeon Man]], Reggie gets splashed with hot coffee and has his face covered in bandages. After getting to the nearby healing room, [[VideoGame/ProfessorLayton Luke Triton]] is shown to have experienced the same thing.
165	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', during the "Video Gaaaaaames" storyline, Grace plays as Adam Jensen and runs into a fight that injures her to the point that she has to be [[https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/2016-08-06 fully bandaged]] except for her face, ears and tail.
166	* ''Webcomic/{{Strays}}'': [[http://www.straysonline.com/comic/152.htm Feral]], when Holland met him.
167	* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Duane keeps his rotting form bandaged to try and preserve it and to pad out missing things. This means that people who are paying attention when they meet him think he's horribly injured, though his glamour usually ensures they don't realize just what a mess he is.
168	[[/folder]]
169
170	[[folder:Web Video]]
171	* ''WebAnimation/MadnessCombat'' protagonist Hank J. Wimbleton effectively looks like this from Madness 5: Depredation onwards, due to suicide-bombing with C4 in the previous installment.
172	* Dave in ''WebVideo/Par9'' got into a rollerblading accident. Keith and Berry try to make him play golf, which doesn't turn out so well.
173	* ''WebAnimation/SonicForHire'': In Season 2, Franchise/{{Sonic\|TheHedgehog}} crashes his VideoGame/{{ExciteBike}} on top of Tails, leaving him in a full body cast.
174	* Chaka in ''WebVideo/VaguelyRecallingJoJo''. He loses against [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Polnareff]].
175	[[/folder]]
176
177	[[folder:Western Animation]]
178	* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': In "Lasagna", Carl breaks his bones after trying to get the jump on Shake from his roof. After being taken to the hospital in a full cast, his bones later merged into one after taking a drink that he believed would heal him.
179	* ''WesternAnimation/COPSAnimatedSeries'': In the pilot episode, federal agent B.P. Vess ends up like this after a bomb set by the villains causes debris to fall on him and break nearly every bone in his body. When the bad guys go to the hospital to finish the job, he rips the bandages off, revealing the [[{{Cyborg}} cybernetic armor]] he gained from experimental treatment.
180	* ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'': Jay Sherman was in this state when his ex-wife Ardith first fell in love with him, which is how she agreed to marry him. The second she saw his face and heard his voice once the bandages came off, she regretted it.
181	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''
182	** The ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' short "The Zappy's", Billy Crystal Ball ends up as one due to Jorgen's repeated uses of AppealToForce.

214	** In "[[Recap/TotalDramaXtremeTorture X-treme Torture]]", two things do not go in Trent's favor during a challenge that requires him to jump from a plane. Firstly, DJ accidentally pushes him out of the plane. Therefore, Trent can't gather himself timely to open his parachute. Secondly, Owen's fallen asleep on the mattress the Screaming Gophers were to prepare for Trent's landing. As a result, the mattress remains some meters away from the impact zone. All of this cumulates in Trent hitting the ground hard. He gets wheeled away on a stretcher to get "re-boned", but already is bandaged up all over except for his head. He is none the worse in the next episode.
215	** In "[[Recap/TotalDramaAftermathIVHawaiianStyle Aftermath IV: Hawaiian Style]]", Blaineley falls from the plane without a parachute and spends the rest of the season bandaged everywhere except her eyes. She is completely immobile, so the Peanut Gallery carts her around on a hand truck.

218	* It's not a complete body binding, but after Thrust gets his metal butt handed to him by Starscream in ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' his next scene shows him with bandages around his pointed head and his arm in a cast.
