Concept Notes:
BANDAGING TECHNIQUES
Bandages – used to apply pressure to bleeding; for covering wounds and burns; and providing
support for immobilizations for broken bones, sprains and strains
Types of Bandages:
 Triangular bandage- made from cloth and can be used as
cold compress, padding, support for pressure, or support
sling

Two Phases of Bandaging:

A. Open phase bandaging- used for wounds on top and back of the head, chest, back,
hand, and foot and as arm sling.
B. Cravat phase- used for wounds that need extra support like wound on the eye,
forehead, ear, check, jaw, shoulder, hip, arm, leg, elbow, knee, and palm, and for a
strained ankle.
- the narrower the cravat is, the greater pressure it will give
Techniques in Bandaging:
1. Keep in mind the following:
a. Always use a square knot.
b. Keep the cloth sterile to avoid infection.
c. Always keep the ends.
2. Bandaging technique depends upon the size and location of the wound, your first aid
skills, and materials at hand.
3. Bandage firmly over bleeding and securely over the broken bone, not so tight so as not
to cut off blood circulation.
4. When wrapping bandages around the body, such as knees, ankle, neck, and small back,

use its natural hollows to slide the bandage gently into place.
5. Since most injuries swell, check regularly to ensure that the bandage is still
comfortable and that it remains firmly secured.
6. Secure the bandage with a tape, clips, or a bow or square knot. Ensure that the
bandages, especially the knots, do not touch the skin.
How to do a square knot: “Right over left, and left over right”.
