Examples of multi-layer bandages and methods for dressing a wound are described. An example multi-layer bandage includes a first layer and second layer and an optional third layer. An exemplary method for dressing a wound may include applying a bandage having a top layer, a middle layer, and a bottom layer to a wound with the bottom layer being provided in contact with the wound, wherein the top layer includes an adhesive for securing the bandage to a surface near the would, and where the bottom layer includes copper and allowing the bandage to remain over the would for a predetermined period of time. In some examples, the method may further include removing the bottom layer without removing the top and middle layers. In other examples, the method may include removing the bandage when the middle layer or the bottom layer change in color.
