Usage Tips:

- Wrap Securely: Use one folded bandage as a trauma pad and another to wrap it securely. This works similarly to first-aid tape.
- Create a Sling: For an injured arm, fashion a sling to support the arm in a bent position over the chest.
- Add a Swathe: Use a second bandage to wrap around the torso, immobilising the arm against the chest.
Important Notes:
- Avoid placing bandages over the eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Never apply bandages around the neck, as this may restrict circulation to the head.
Also known as a cravat bandage, the triangle bandage is essential for first aid. In a pinch, you can even make one from fabric scraps or t-shirts. The Boy Scouts popularised this bandage in their first aid lessons, highlighting its practical uses.
