This reusable, washable triangular bandage is ideal for immobilising limbs, providing support for arm injuries, or stabilising fractures.

To support an arm injury:

Fold the bandage in half.

• Gently position the child’s arm, bending it at the elbow only if this does not increase pain, and rest it comfortably across the chest.

• With the long edge of the triangular bandage facing the uninjured arm and lying parallel to the child’s body, carefully slide the bandage underneath the injured arm.

• Ensure the point of the triangle extends beyond the elbow to provide proper support. Fold and Tape.

• Bring the two ends of the bandage up and tie them together behind the neck, securing the arm comfortably without pulling or causing discomfort.
