Pressure Bandages

Pressure bandages are specialized wraps designed to apply gentle, controlled pressure to a wound or injury, helping to limit bleeding and reduce swelling. They seal the area, support blood clotting, and can stabilize injuries like sprains or fractures. Proper application involves wrapping the bandage firmly but comfortably, ensuring consistent pressure without cutting off circulation. They are useful in emergency or medical settings for controlling bleeding and providing initial support until professional care is available. Proper technique and monitoring are important to avoid complications, such as tissue damage from excessive pressure.
