As I mentioned, an involvement in the learning process includes, first of all, using a pressure applicator through which goes the first wrapping, and then making wide wrappings above and below a dressing. In this case we may observe a congesting pad under a bandage, because of the limited absorption capacity of the used dressing. After all, we talk all the time about A COMPRESSION BANDAGE!. What might be interesting, personal dressings as the emergency bandage are available in a few sizes and variants (a single gauze, a gauze fixed to the band and a movable gauze). The Abdominal Bandage is an interesting solution which was designed not only for dressing wounds of abdominal surface, but also for large body surfaces (back, buttocks, thighs, etc.) and for protecting a stump. Instructions for use: We place a dressing directly on a wound – an external sticker specifies in which place it has to be placed on the wound. If a wound is large it is placed directly on the wound and when a wound is small it should be between the sticker and the plastic pressure applicator. Then we perform the first wrapping and we interlace it on the entire width through a plastic pressure applicator (VERY IMPORTANT!). Further, we slightly tension a bandage and we change a direction of dressing. A plastic pressure applicator compresses a wound and now we have a bandage leader directed upwards what will facilitate further dressing. An interesting solution which impedes an accidental unravelling of a bandage is stitching it with a thread so that when we want to roll it out further we must use a minimum strength for "unblocking" the subsequent section of the bandage (an accidental dropping of a roll would not result in its unravelling). The end of the bandage has an integrated form with a bandage of the plastic closure bar with hooks. It is enough to hook by one side with an edge of the wrapping and we have a straight, and – what is the most important – a dependable protection of the entire dressing. Thanks to a closure bar we may also apply dressings in the hardly accessible places, as for instance a head, a neck, an armpit, a groin, etc. www.fragoutmag.
