and compression. Using a cup as a compression
element while making wrappings we can
place a thumb, thanks to that a dressing will be
compressed and stabilized.
2) in the case of which require an additional
dressing (deep, uneven wound) – we apply a
gauze which can be found inside its packaging.
We unpack a wound according to the appropriate
rules and when a proper effect is achieved
(making a stopper which compresses injured
internal tissues and leaving such an amount of a
gauze to stick out above the wound), we place
a proper dressing and we address it as in the
former case. It should constrict a created stopper
and in this way maintain a compression, stopping
hemorrhage.
On the market of the medical and tactical
devices one can find a lot of solutions of personal
dressings. I could write much more on at least
several dressings which I had a chance to play
with, but because of a strictly professional
approach I concentrated only on those which are
applied most commonly and most often – since
they, simply, work.
