How to Apply a Bandage to Your Injury

If you have an injury that is bleeding, you will need to apply a bandage to help stop the bleeding. You may also need to apply a bandage if you have an injury that is swelling or has pus.

To apply a bandage, you will need:

• Bandages
• Adhesive Tape
• Scissors
• Cotton Balls
• Antiseptic wipes

1. Clean the wound. Use an antiseptic wipe to clean the area around the wound. Do not put the wipe on the wound itself.
2. Cut the bandage. Cut the bandage to the size that you need for your injury. Make sure that it is big enough to cover the entire wound and some of the area around it.
3. Place the cotton ball on the wound. 4. Wrap the bandage around the cotton ball and secure it with adhesive tape. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 if necessary, depending on the size of your injury

How to Remove a Bandage From Your Injury

If you’re using an adhesive bandage, the easiest way to remove it is to slowly peel it off from one corner. If the bandage is sticking to your skin, wet it with warm water to loosen the adhesive. You can also use baby oil, petroleum jelly, or medical adhesive remover.

If you’re using a non-adhesive bandage (such as gauze or a wrap), gently unwind it from your injury.

When to See a Doctor for Your Injury

If your injury is more than just a small cut or scrape, you may need to see a doctor. More serious injuries may require stitches or other medical treatment. If you’re not sure whether your injury is serious, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and see a doctor.
