Triangular Bandage 100 x 100 x 141 cm First Aid Cotton

Also known as a cravat bandage, a triangular bandage is a piece of cloth put into a right-angled triangle, and often provided with safety pins to secure it in place. It can be used fully unrolled as a sling, folded as a normal bandage, or for specialized applications, as on the head. One advantage of this type of bandage is that it can be makeshift and made from a fabric scrap or a piece of clothing. The Boy Scouts popularized use of this bandage in many of their first aid lessons, as a part of the uniform is a "neckerchief" that can easily be folded to form a cravat Uses include: - to support arms and shoulders (sling) - to secure splints and dressings - to apply pressure over a large area - to immobilize ankles and feet - to control bleeding (tourniquet) - to control bleeding when direct pressure is unsuitable (e.g. embedded or protruding objects) No expiration date
