Tying a roller bandage, particularly on a hand, involves a figure-of-eight technique to provide secure and even support. This method ensures the bandage stays in place and effectively covers the area.
Bandaging a Hand with a Roller Bandage:
The referenced video (How to Bandage A Hand - First Aid Training - St John Ambulance) demonstrates how to bandage a hand using a roller bandage with a figure-of-eight technique:
- Start Across the Fingers: Begin by wrapping the roller bandage across the fingers.
- Figure-of-Eight Pattern: Continue bandaging diagonally across the hand, creating a figure-of-eight pattern.
- Overlap: Each time you wrap, cover approximately two-thirds of the previous layer of the bandage.
This method ensures that the bandage provides adequate support and coverage while remaining secure.
