A Bandage can be crafted using x2 Bunny Foot and x2 Wolf Pelt using the Anvil. The amount of pelts needed increases by 1 each time you craft it. A Bandage usually heals around 40 hp, although not confirmed.

Bandage — In-Depth Analysis
The Bandage is a compact healing item that doubles as a revive tool, filling the same niche as the Medkit but in a lighter, more disposable package. It heals roughly 40 HP per use (community-tested, not officially confirmed), and crucially it can also bring dead teammates back to life, which makes it far more valuable than its small size suggests in a co-op run where every body matters.
Sourcing is the catch. Bandages occasionally spawn in chests or in clinics around the map, but they are genuinely uncommon, so you cannot rely on finding them in a pinch. The reliable route is the Workshop added in the Furniture Update: craft one at the Anvil using 2 Bunny Foot and 2 Wolf Pelt, with the pelt cost rising by 1 each subsequent craft. That escalating cost rewards crafting a small stockpile early rather than spamming them late.
Is it worth grabbing? Absolutely. The revive function alone justifies carrying one or two at all times, and the modest 40 HP top-up is plenty for patching up between waves. Treat bandages as your insurance policy: hoard a couple, send a scavenger out for clinic spawns, and keep at least one in reserve for the moment a teammate goes down in the dark.
