Based on the provided context, the steps to fold a triangular bandage into a broad or narrow bandage are being requested. While the video clip is unavailable, the transcript mentions practice making these types of bandages. Here's how to fold a triangular bandage into a broad and a narrow bandage:
Folding a Triangular Bandage
A triangular bandage is a versatile tool in first aid. It can be used in its full triangular shape or folded into different forms for specific purposes. Two common folds are the broad bandage and the narrow bandage (also known as a cravat).
Creating a Broad Bandage
-
Lay the bandage flat: Place the triangular bandage on a clean, flat surface.
-
Fold the apex (point) down: Fold the point (apex) of the triangle down to the midpoint of the base (the longest side).
-
Fold the top down again: Fold the new top edge down to the base again. This creates the broad bandage.
Creating a Narrow Bandage (Cravat)
-
Start with a broad bandage: Follow the steps above to create a broad bandage first.
-
Fold in half lengthwise: Fold the broad bandage in half lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge.
-
Continue folding: Fold in half lengthwise again (and again, if desired) until you achieve the desired narrow width. The more you fold it, the narrower the cravat.
Folding bandages in advance and storing them in a first-aid kit makes them readily accessible during emergencies.
