English to Romanian Medical Medical (general)

Se vorbeşte despre nişte grefări de piele în două faze, folosind braţul ca gazdă temporară. După prima fază, "the arm was strapped to the abdomen for 3 weeks, allowing time for a new blood supply to grow between the graft and arm, at which point the surgeon cut the flap of skin free of the abdomen and moved it up to the site on forehead, cheek, or nose, again strapping the arm in place."

Ce înseamnă "strapped" aici? Pur şi simplu bandajat sau imobilizat? Mulţumesc anticipat!
