• to serve as arm support (sling)
DRESSING
• also called compress, is a protective cover placed
over a wound

germs before use

Principles/Rules
in
Bandaging Application

 Application must be proper, neat and correct.


 Apply bandage snugly (not too tight, not too loose).
 Always check for tightness that might cause swelling
later on.
 All foldings must be outward.
 Tail or ends of the triangular bandage must be tied
with square knot.
 Secure the tails or ends.
SQUARE KNOT

• also called Relf Knot or Sailor’s Knot


• is used in tying the tails or ends of a triangular
bandage

Rule in Tying the Square Knot:

“Right end/tail over left end/tail, then left


end/tail over right end/tail”
Advantages of Using Square Knot:

 easy to tie, easy to untie

 once secured, it does not slip or tighten nor


loosen

 it is neat and has a comfortable flat surface
