Protective dressings are used toprotect the skin. Accordingly, they are used for those injuries when the skin is broken (abrasions, cuts; deep wounds). The dressing has antiseptic properties, does not allow harmful microorganisms to penetrate the damaged skin into the bloodstream. This bandage consists of gauze and adhesive tape with a bactericidal effect, as well as a bandage.
These dressings have a squeezing effect.They are designed to stop the bleeding after injury. In order for such a bandage to optimally perform its functions, it must be tightly tightened when applied.
Such dressings perfectly fix the tissue of the injured area. Therefore, they are also called locking. They should be used in situations where a sprain has occurred.
This is the most common type of turtle.dressings that have been used since ancient times. The bandage perfectly passes air and does not give the chance to breed to anaerobic bacteria. It is also flexible and therefore easy to use. The density of the bandage bandage allows you to well fix the ligaments, if there was their stretching. Turtle dressing is convergent and divergent.
A converging bandage is applied when a joint damage has occurred, and a divergent bandage is used for injuries to tissues located near the joint.
Before applying the dressing it is necessary to strictly follow the sanitary standards. You need to wash your hands thoroughly. Ideally, wear rubber gloves afterwards.

The left hand should take the end of the bandage.The head unwinding the bandage should be in the right hand. This rule works for right-handers, for left-handers it should be the other way around. The back of the patient dressing material should fit snugly against damaged skin. The bandage should not be stretched, no folds should be created.
How should a turtle bandage be applied to the elbow joint? The overlapping of the descending is as follows:
The joint is bent in the same way as when applyingcoming down. Fixing tours are made in the elbow or knee. Next, eight-shaped tours are made at the top and bottom of the joint alternately, intersecting with each other at the joint. The final round for fixation is done on the forearm or on the shoulder.
It turns out that the difference between the descending and divergent types of dressings lies in the places where the dressing starts and when it is finally fixed. Otherwise, all actions are the same.
