Huh, interesting. So how do you differentiate between this and this? Because to me those are two entirely different things and they're called different things in German. If I said "I need a bandage for my hand", how do you know which one I need (other than by looking at my hand to see if it's just a paper cut or if I'm about to die from blood loss, of course)?

We typically call the other one gauze.
