Triangular bandages are extremely useful items in the first aid kit. They assist people who are injured. Learning how to use a triangular bandage will help you assist others as well. Read on to know more on the ways on how to use a triangular bandage for first aid.
In order to use a triangular sling, one must ensure that the person is comfortable. Next, fold the bandage into a long strip. Rest the strip down the middle of the person’s forehead, and wrap the ends around to tie in a knot at the back of their head. Make sure it is a snug fit but is not too tight. This will ensure that the person’s head stays in place and remains protected.
If a child injures an arm or shoulder, fold your triangular bandage to create a sling. Put the arm of patient in the sling and fasten the ends behind the neck. This will provide a little support for the arm and dissuade it from bouncing too much. You may also use the triangular bandage to apply a circular wrap to a sprained ankle or knee. Just wrap it around the joint, and tie it up.
Ice packs are similarly retained with triangular bandages. If someone has a bump or bruise, rolling a bag of ice in the bandage and attaching it to the affected spot. The bandage will secure the ice pack and make the person comfortable.
To secure a triangular bandage, fold it into a strip lengthwise. Lay the center of the strip on the wound and wrap the ends around to knot them. Just be sure the wrap is tight but not overly so. You can pin the ends with a safety pin. This will support the person who is injured.
Including a triangular bandage in your first aid box is very essential. It helps you deliver quick, effective treatment to someone who is hurt. Whether—or not—you need to rip it to make a sling, wrap a sprain or confine an ice pack, a triangular bandage has come in handy. You should always have one ready so that you can help someone in need.
