Applying a dressing or bandage is straightforward enough, but a few points should be kept in mind to avoid making matters worse.
- Use sterile dressings whenever possible
- Apply dressings carefully so that they remain sterile
- Use the rigth size dressing
- Don't use loose, fluffy cotton(such as cotton balls) on an open wound
- Dont remove a dressing if it gets soaked through with blood
- Don't pull off a dressing that stuck to a wound
