Bleeding causes additional damage over time, indicated by the level of the effect, and suppresses healing effects such as the +20 healing from a Medical Syringe. Bandages can treat a significant amount of this, and as such, are best used alongside other healing items, e.g. Medical Syringe, to ensure they can be used effectively.
