Application scenarios of various bandages
1.Traditional gauze is suitable for bandaging wounds with daily blood flow. Of course, it needs to be cleaned up and completed with the help of a doctor.
2. Gauze bandage are mainly used for outsourcing and fixation. In addition, they can also be used by athletes who exercise regularly. Wrap the product on the wrists, ankles and other places to provide a certain degree of protection. Although the self-adhesive elastic bandage is elastic, it should be careful not to wrap it too tightly, otherwise it may affect the blood flow of the body and cause adverse effects. If there is numbness or tingling on the limbs during the use of the elastic bandage, or unexpected coldness and paleness of the limbs, it is best to remove the bandage immediately and pay attention to the condition of the banding area.
3.Wound gauze is mostly used for wounds that have not healed but have granulation tissue growth after ulceration or after surgery, or superficial abrasions. In order to protect the new granulation tissue and facilitate the growth of epithelial tissue, it is often covered with oil gauze. The role of oil gauze should not be underestimated. If the sore is ruptured, drainage with oil gauze is better than yellow gauze drainage.
