Winding apparatus for bandages and related methods

A portable, hand held winding apparatus, for rolling up or winding elongate bandages and the like, the winding apparatus comprising:

• a hand held rotary drive device having a motor-driven rotatable connector that is adapted to operatively engage a connecting member, the rotatable connector defining an axis of rotation;
• a tensioning member supportable on the rotary drive device, the tensioning member including a tensioning arm extending in a direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis of the rotatable connector of the rotary drive device, the tensioning arm defining a slot therein;
• and
• a winding peg including a means for selectively receiving a bandage, the winding peg defining a connecting member extending axially therefrom, the connecting member being operatively engageable with the rotatable connector of the rotary drive device.
