Quick Overview

The triangular bandage is a versatile first aid tool primarily used to create arm slings for immobilizing upper body fractures and sprains. When folded into a cravat, it is used to secure splints to limbs or as a pressure band over a dressing.

Field Application Steps

Perform a primary survey and assess Circulation, Motor function, and Sensation (CMS) distal to the injury.
Configure the bandage for the specific injury, either as an open sling or a folded cravat.
Apply the bandage to immobilize the limb, tying knots on the uninjured side and away from the spine or fracture site.
Secure the sling at the elbow using a safety pin or by twisting and tucking the fabric.
Re-assess CMS immediately after application to ensure blood flow is not restricted.
