Morphology

rebandage = bandage (transparent) = re + band + age

The prefix 're-' attaches to the verb 'bandage' with its regular meaning of doing the action again.

Etymology

Rebandage is made of re- ('again') and bandage ('a cloth to cover a wound'), so it means to put a new bandage on a wound after taking the old one off.
