The essentials of bandaging /

This practical manual provides concise, illustrated instructions for applying bandages and surgical apparatus, with chapters on materials, operator technique, bandaging of specific body regions, strapping methods, and management of fractures and dislocations of head, trunk, and limbs. It describes common turns and splints, approaches to immobilisation and extension, and offers procedures for dressing wounds, supporting stumps, and using elastic and plaster appliances. An appendix supplies lists of preparations, instruments, and items recommended for sick-room and operating-room use, presented as checklists to help students and practitioners refresh practical skills.
