1. How to use medical breathable tape
1.1. Clean and disinfect the skin before use, and let it dry for a while.
1.2. Smooth adhesion, the tape in the absence of tension, from the center to the outside flat, in order to make the tape firmly attached to the dressing, should be attached to the skin at least 2.5CM along the edge of the dressing.
1.3. Press back and forth on the tape to exert the effect of the adhesive.
1.4. Loosen each end of the tape when removing, and slowly lift the entire width of the tape towards the wound to reduce the cracking of the healing tissue.
1.5. When removing the tape from the hairy area, it should be peeled off in the direction of hair growth.
2. Medical tape using bandaging techniques
The injured person should be properly positioned. The limb rests in an adapted position, so that the patient can maintain limb comfort during the bandaging process and reduce the patient's pain. The affected limb must be dressed in a functional position. The contractor usually stands in front of the patient in order to observe the patient's facial expressions. Generally, it should be bandaged from the inside out and from the distal end to the trunk.
At the beginning of the bandaging, two loops are applied to fix the bandage. When bandaging, grasp the bandage roll to avoid falling. The bandage is rolled and placed flat on the bandage. The spiral dressing method is used for parts with approximately equal circumference, such as upper arms, fingers, etc.
Starting from the distal end, two rolls are wrapped in a loop, and then spiraled at a 30° angle to the proximal end, each roll overlapping the previous roll by 2/3, and the end tape is fixed. Weekly bandages do not cover each other when there is a lack of bandages or temporary splints in first aid, called serpentine bandaging.
