Honestly no one enjoys being hurt. Anyone can experience an accident and sometimes you end up with a cut or scrape. The very first thing you need to do when this happens is to ensure that you take very good care of your wound so that your body can heal properly. One of them is a bandages. Did you know that the use of a pressure bandage can actually speed up the healing process? Here’s what you need to know to use one correctly.
Cover the Dressing with the Pressure Bandage: Next, get the pressure bandage and tightly wrap it around the dressing. This creates a bandage that applies pressure to the wound, which helps to slow the bleeding down, and helps it to heal quicker. You want it snug, but not so tight it hurts.
Keep in mind, you want to press enough to stop the bleeding, but you don’t want to press so hard that it hurts. If you see that the wound keeps bleeding a lot or if it hurts even more, it’s really important to get help immediately from a doctor or trusted adult.
You do not have a crepe bandage? Do not despair as you can also help with a clean rag or a spare piece of clothing to directly apply pressure on the wound. Note that the pressure bandage is the best tool for the job, as it’s made especially for the purpose of stopping bleeding.
Reduces the Risk of Infection: A pressure bandage helps reduce the risk of infection by keeping the wound clean and covered. This is really important because the longer the patient has an indwelling catheter, the more probable it is to get an infection and which can cause even more complications and a longer time to heal.
A pressure bandage should be used any time you have a wound that is, bleeding heavily or needs more support. These could be cuts, scrapes, and other injuries. In general, if your wound is bleeding heavily or if it is in a place on your body that is difficult to cover, like a hand or a foot, you will likely need a pressure bandage.
Simply make adjustments up or down to control the pressure level on your bandage. You may need to tighten the bandage more if it’s still bleeding a lot. But if your wound begins to feel numb or tingly, you may need to loosen it slightly. So it’s all about finding that right balance to help your wound heal properly.
