Bandaging material

An orthopaedic bandaging material in the form of a linear structure having a width (W), a length (L) and a thickness (T), the ratio of length to width, L/W, being at least 3:1, said material comprising

• a first layer of a composite material with a first component formed by a polymer and a second component formed by a reinforcing material distributed throughout the first polymer, wherein
• the first component comprises a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group of polymers and mixtures thereof, and
• the second component comprises a woody material derived from platy or granular wood particles having a minimum average size in one dimension of 0.1 mm;
• and
• a second layer of a textile material having a first and a second surface;
• said first layer being superposed on said second layer in such a way that said first layer is essentially attached only to the first surface of said second layer, and
• wherein the composite material of the first layer exhibits, after pressing together with the textile material of the second layer, at a temperature higher than 80° C., so strong adhesion to the textile material of the second layer, that the banding material can be coiled and uncoiled without de-attachment of the first layer of the second layer.
