We’ll also talk about how to use them properly and some exciting new technologies that are making bandages even better.
Bandage It: To finish, wrap a bandage around the gauze pad and secure it with adhesive tape. Ensure that the bandage is tight enough but not so tight that it will constrict blood flow. If it’s too tight, it can cut off blood flow and make the injury feel worse.
Waterproof Bandages: Similarly, there are some waterproof bandages. This can be really useful if you need to shower or swim as you heal.) Waterproof bandages protect the wound when washing and bathing.
Offer Compression: When you apply bandages they can compress the damaged site and this helps in minimizing swelling. It can also help reduce pain when the swelling goes down. It provides more stability to the injured area and can make you move better.
Keep dirt out: Bandages cover up the injury, which helps to keep dirt and other germs out. This matters because having the area clean can help prevent infections, and that can delay your healing time.
