    Simple Spiral Bandage:: Procedure in Bandaging

    This document provides instructions for three different bandaging procedures: [1] applying a simple spiral bandage to cylindrical body parts by wrapping the bandage in overlapping spirals; [2] wrapping an elastic bandage around a sprained ankle in a figure-eight pattern to provide compression; [3] bandaging a hand by wrapping a roller bandage around the wrist and then diagonally across the back of the hand in a figure-eight pattern, leaving the finger tips exposed. Proper bandaging techniques help provide support, stabilization, or compression to injuries.

    PROCEDURE IN BANDAGING

    - Simple Spiral Bandage:

    - Spiralbandages are usually used for cylindrical parts of the body. Elasticated bandage can also be
    used to apply spiral bandaging to a tapered body part. Despite the increasing diameter of the body
    part, the elasticity will allow the bandage to fit closely to the skin.With each spiral turn, part of the preceding
    turn is covered generally by 1/3 of the width of the bandage.

    - Applying a Compression Wrap for a Sprained Ankle

    -Roll up the elastic bandage if it isn't already rolled up. Hold your ankle at about a 90-degree angle. Start where
    your toes meet the body of your foot. Hold the loose end of the bandage at the side of your foot. Wrap the
    bandage around the ball of your foot once, keeping it somewhat taut with a light pull.
    -After this, slowly start circling your way around the arch of the foot. Pull the bandage diagonally from the
    bottom of the toes across the foot's top and circle it around the ankle. Now bring the bandage diagonally across
    the top of the foot and under the arch in a figure-eight pattern.
    -When you get to the ankle bone, wrap the bandage around the felt piece so it stays in place under the ankle
    bone. Continue around the ankle and foot in a figure eight, moving toward the heel on the bottom and toward
    the calf at the top of the eight.
    -The wrap should cover the entire foot and end about 7 centimetres above the ankle. Most compression wraps
    are self-fastening or come with clip fasteners. If not, use tape to secure the end. The wrap should be snug but
    should not cut off circulation to the foot.

    - Hand Bandaging
    • To bandage someone’s hand, use a roller bandage.
    • Start by putting the end (tail) of the bandage on the inside of their wrist, below the bottom of their thumb, and wrap the
    bandage straight around their wrist, twice.
    • Then, wrap the bandage from the inside of their wrist, diagonally across the back of their hand up to the nail of their little
    finger, straight across underneath their fingers, and diagonally back across the back of their hand to the outside of their
    wrist. • Pass the bandage under their wrist and repeat the diagonal over the back of the hand, across the fingers and back
    again, so the tips of their fingers are still peeking out. • Keep going in the same way, bandaging diagonally across the hand
    like a figure-of-eight, but each time, only cover about two thirds of the previous layer, so that with each new layer you’re
    covering a third of new skin. Make sure you leave the tips of their fingers peeking out though.
    • Once you’ve covered the whole hand, wrap the bandage straight around the wrist a couple of times, and then fasten the
    end using a safety pin or sticky tape or by tucking it in. • As soon as you’ve finished, check their fingers for circulation, by
    pressing a finger nail for five seconds until it goes pale. If the colour doesn’t come back within two seconds, the bandage is
    too tight so you’ll need to loosen it and do it again. Their hand could keep swelling after you’ve bandaged it, so keep
    checking their circulation every ten minutes.
