Using a finger bandage applicator makes applying a bandage to your finger easier and more hygienic. Here's how to use one, based on the information provided:
- Slip the applicator over your finger. Make sure it fits comfortably but snugly.
- Hold the gauze at the base of your finger. This keeps the bandage material in place as you apply it.
- Withdraw the applicator past your finger. As you remove it, twist the applicator 360 degrees. This helps ensure the bandage wraps properly.
- Slide the black section over your finger. This part helps to push the bandage further onto the finger.
- Remove the applicator completely. The bandage should now be securely wrapped around your finger.
- Secure the base with tape if necessary. This ensures the bandage stays in place, especially for active use.
