Tube bandage
Types of bandages
A tube bandage is applied using an applicator, and is woven in a
Gauze bandage (common gauze roller bandage) continuous circle. It is used to hold dressings or splints on to limbs, or to
provide support to sprains and strains, and it stops bleeding.
The most common type of bandage is the gauze bandage, a simple woven
strip of material, or a woven strip of material with a Telfa absorbent barrier The information on All Safety Products First Aid resource section details

Compression bandage
The term 'compression bandage' describes a wide variety of bandages with
many different applications.
Short stretch compression bandages are applied to a limb (usually for
treatment of lymphedema or venous ulcers. This type of bandage is
capable of shortening around the limb after application and is therefore
not exerting ever-increasing pressure during inactivity. This dynamic is
called resting pressure and is considered safe and comfortable for long-
term treatment. Conversely, the stability of the bandage creates a very
high resistance to stretch when pressure is applied through internal muscle
contraction and joint movement. This force is called working pressure.
Long stretch compression bandages have long stretch properties, meaning
their high compressive power can be easily adjusted. However, they also
have a very high resting pressure and must be removed at night or if the
patient is in a resting position.
Triangular bandage
Also known as a cravat bandage, a triangular bandage is a piece of cloth
put into a right-angled triangle, and often provided with safety pins to
secure it in place. It can be used fully unrolled as a sling, folded as a normal
bandage, or for specialized applications, as on the head. One advantage of
