BANDAGING TECHNIQUE
Purpose
1. To hold the dressing in place
2. To tie the splints
3. To immobilize injured part

BANDAGING TECHNIQUE

S-peed
C-areful Thinking
A-ccuracy
N-eatness

BANDAGING TECHNIQUE
guidelines in using dressing and
bandages
1. Use a dressing that is large
enough to extend at least 1 inch
beyond the edges of the wound.
2. If body tissue or organs are
exposed, cover the wound with
addressing that will not stick,
such as plastic wrap or
moistened gauze. Then secure
the dressing with a bandage or
adhesive tapes.

BANDAGING TECHNIQUE

3. If the bandage is over a joint,
splint and make a bulky dressing
so the joint remains immobilized. If
there is no movement of a wound
over the joint, there should be
improved healing and reduced
scarring.

BANDAGING TECHNIQUE

4. A bandage should fit snugly but
should not cut off circulation or
cause the victim discomfort. If the
area beyond the wound changes
color, begins to tingle or feel cold,
or if the wound starts to swell, the
bandage is too tight and should be
loosened.
