How do you use a finger bandage applicator?

Published in First Aid 2 mins read

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:

  1. Slip the applicator over your finger. Make sure it fits comfortably but snugly.
  2. Hold the gauze at the base of your finger. This keeps the bandage material in place as you apply it.
  3. Withdraw the applicator past your finger. As you remove it, twist the applicator 360 degrees. This helps ensure the bandage wraps properly.
  4. Slide the black section over your finger. This part helps to push the bandage further onto the finger.
  5. Remove the applicator completely. The bandage should now be securely wrapped around your finger.
  6. Secure the base with tape if necessary. This ensures the bandage stays in place, especially for active use.

Here's a simplified view in a table:
