Medical bandages are soft and breathable, easy and quick to use, require minimal amounts, will not slip, and do not affect blood circulation. Next, let's take a look at the usage of medical bandages.
1. Use cotton covers or rolls as padding at the dressing area, and wrap more cotton covers or rolls in areas where pressure needs to be increased or where there are multiple bones.
2. Please wear protective gloves.
3. Before use, open the packaging and place the polymer (orthopedic synthetic) bandage in water at room temperature (68-77 ℉, 20-25 ℃) for 1-2 seconds. Gently squeeze the bandage to remove excess moisture The curing speed of polymer (orthopedic synthetic) bandages is directly proportional to the soaking time and water temperature of the bandage: if a longer operation is required, please use it directly without soaking.
4. Spiral wrap as needed. Overlap 1/2 or 1/3 of the bandage width in each circle, wrap tightly but do not apply too much force. The shaping is completed during this time, and the polymer (orthopedic synthetic) bandage needs to be stationary for the last 30 seconds of curing (ensuring that the shaping surface posture remains still); 3-4 layers are sufficient for non load bearing areas, and 4-5 layers of polymer (orthopedic synthetic) bandages can be wrapped around the load bearing areas. When wrapping, the bandages should be smoothed out to provide better support and adhesion between each layer. Gloves can be dipped in water to smooth out the bandages for better results.
5. The curing time for polymer (orthopedic synthetic) bandages is approximately 3-5 minutes (depending on the soaking time and temperature of the bandage). You will feel the support in 20 minutes.
