Device for applying a bandage around a limb

A device (2) suitable for use in a process of applying a bandage around a limb comprises a rotatable support (34) for supporting a bandage roll (40); a motor (31) for driving the support (34); a bidirectional drive circuit (50) for driving the motor (31); an interface (60, 61) for receiving first input information representing a desired tension of the bandage during a bandage applying process; a detecting mechanism (70, 71, 72) for receiving second input information representing an actual tension of the bandage; and a controller (51) for controlling operation of the motor (31) during a bandage applying process through the drive circuit (50), which is connected to both the interface (60, 61) and the detecting mechanism (70, 71, 72), and which is configured to determine a value representing an output torque of the motor (31) on the basis of the first and second input information.
