why are most medical bandages white or pink in color?
In: Other
Tradition: white is associated with cleanliness.
Caustic: cleaning agents from sunlight to bleach (and others) remove both wound leakage, and stains and dyes (coloring agents), resulting in whiter bandages. Repeated washings would make them whiter. Bandages are disposable today, that was not the case in the past.
