Detailed explanation-1: -begin by wrapping twice around the injury to hold the end in place. work up the limb, winding the bandage in spiralling turns, making sure that each new layer covers half of the previous one. finish by wrapping the bandage around once more and securing the end.
Detailed explanation-2: -A compression bandage is a long strip of stretchable cloth that you can wrap around a sprain or strain. It’s also called an elastic bandage or a Tensor bandage. The gentle pressure of the bandage helps reduce swelling, so it may help the injured area feel better.
Detailed explanation-3: –Don’t wrap too tightly. A bandage that’s too tight can cut off circulation completely. Swelling at either end of the bandage, numbness or tingling, or discoloration means the bandage is too tight and needs to be adjusted.
