PROCEDURE IN BANDAGING

- Simple Spiral Bandage:

- Spiralbandages are usually used for cylindrical parts of the body. Elasticated bandage can also be
used to apply spiral bandaging to a tapered body part. Despite the increasing diameter of the body
part, the elasticity will allow the bandage to fit closely to the skin.With each spiral turn, part of the preceding
turn is covered generally by 1/3 of the width of the bandage.

- Applying a Compression Wrap for a Sprained Ankle

-Roll up the elastic bandage if it isn't already rolled up. Hold your ankle at about a 90-degree angle. Start where
your toes meet the body of your foot. Hold the loose end of the bandage at the side of your foot. Wrap the
bandage around the ball of your foot once, keeping it somewhat taut with a light pull.
-After this, slowly start circling your way around the arch of the foot. Pull the bandage diagonally from the
bottom of the toes across the foot's top and circle it around the ankle. Now bring the bandage diagonally across
the top of the foot and under the arch in a figure-eight pattern.
-When you get to the ankle bone, wrap the bandage around the felt piece so it stays in place under the ankle
bone. Continue around the ankle and foot in a figure eight, moving toward the heel on the bottom and toward
the calf at the top of the eight.
-The wrap should cover the entire foot and end about 7 centimetres above the ankle. Most compression wraps
are self-fastening or come with clip fasteners. If not, use tape to secure the end. The wrap should be snug but
should not cut off circulation to the foot.

- Hand Bandaging
• To bandage someone’s hand, use a roller bandage.
• Start by putting the end (tail) of the bandage on the inside of their wrist, below the bottom of their thumb, and wrap the
bandage straight around their wrist, twice.
• Then, wrap the bandage from the inside of their wrist, diagonally across the back of their hand up to the nail of their little
finger, straight across underneath their fingers, and diagonally back across the back of their hand to the outside of their
wrist. • Pass the bandage under their wrist and repeat the diagonal over the back of the hand, across the fingers and back
again, so the tips of their fingers are still peeking out. • Keep going in the same way, bandaging diagonally across the hand
like a figure-of-eight, but each time, only cover about two thirds of the previous layer, so that with each new layer you’re
covering a third of new skin. Make sure you leave the tips of their fingers peeking out though.
• Once you’ve covered the whole hand, wrap the bandage straight around the wrist a couple of times, and then fasten the
end using a safety pin or sticky tape or by tucking it in. • As soon as you’ve finished, check their fingers for circulation, by
pressing a finger nail for five seconds until it goes pale. If the colour doesn’t come back within two seconds, the bandage is
too tight so you’ll need to loosen it and do it again. Their hand could keep swelling after you’ve bandaged it, so keep
checking their circulation every ten minutes.
