Knee bandage method

If an area is seriously injured, especially after an accident in the joint area, a bandage will be needed. The human knee joint is a very important joint tissue in the whole body, but due to lack of attention in life, many people have suffered knee injuries. Bandages are also needed after a knee injury, but what is the correct way to use bandages to bandage the knee joint?

Things to note when bandaging

1. Try to keep it clean and tie it tightly to avoid it from loosening or slipping.

2. Avoid wrapping the bandage too loosely so that the gauze covering the wound slips off, or wrapping it too tightly so that the gauze pulls excessively on the wound.

3. The knotted part of the bandage should not be tied directly on the wound.

4. For people with poor blood circulation, the bandage should not be wrapped too tightly.

5. Triangular bandage is the best universal bandage. If used at home, you can also use a roll bandage.

How to wrap a bandage

1. Ring belt method

This is to fix the bandage on the limb and prevent it from slipping off. When bandaging, first wrap it around the limb, fold the edge of the bandage in, and then wrap it again.

2. Figure-eight belt method

This is a bandage method used on hands, wrists, feet, ankles, etc. It is wrapped crosswise like writing an "8".

3. Turn-back belt

When bandaging uneven areas such as the lower limbs, the bandage will easily slip off. This method can be used. When bandaging, fold and wrap the bandage repeatedly like a mountain shape.

4. Turtle Belt

Suitable for bandaging areas such as knees and elbows where bandages are very difficult to wrap.

5. Other bandaging methods

For small parts such as fingertips where bandages often come loose, you can use a bandage with sterile gauze instead of the bandage, which is convenient and not likely to slip off.

◆Use of copy

There are two methods of fixing fractures: some use a splint, and some use a triangular bandage to fix the fracture. Except for more serious cases such as fractures and dislocations of the neck and spine, other simple bone fractures of the limbs do not require special emergency care. Just stay calm, find a splint to fix the patient, calm the patient down, and then find a doctor for appropriate treatment.

In case of a fracture or accident, if there is no support around, blankets, clothes, umbrellas, etc. can serve as support; if there is no triangular bandage, shredded cloth strips can also be used as a substitute.
