In this tutorial I go through a technique for modeling a simple braid. Some tools used are EP Curve, extruding along a path, converting from NURBS to polygons and more...
Written tutorial is found here:

@teroxgt Thanks a lot.
I'm sure you could make bandages using this method, but it's probably not the best way. If I was to model it using polygons and if it is going to be wrapped around something.. like an arm or a leg.. I would probably start with a plane and extrude an edge going around the arm and further down for each step.. or use my "Twist Modeling technique" to get a proper base for tweaking and adding irregularities.
I would either way end up in ZBrush.
