Apply Different Types of Bandages

Have you ever wondered how to use a bandage for certain types of wounds? This article will explain the different types of injuries and the bandages needed, plus how to apply them. This article deals with simple cuts, stings, bad sunburns and broken bones.


Tips
  • Remember to always wash any wound well. Infection is always a concern.



Warnings
  • The bandages listed for serious injuries are only temporary. Make sure that the person always receives medical attention as soon as possible.
  • Using hand sanitizer is dangerous on open wounds. Do not, under any circumstance, use hand sanitizer as a replacement for water or a bacteria-killer.
  • Shock sometimes occurs with larger wounds. Shock is when the victim's body goes into a state where it pumps blood to the core, not to limbs or the head. To treat for shock, lift the legs up, place cool towels on the victims' head, and calm them down. Shock can kill a person if it is not treated.
