1. Start by cleaning and drying the wound before applying the bandage.
2. Hold the loose end of the bandage against the skin and wrap it around the wound in a spiral motion, making sure to overlap each layer by half the width of the bandage.
3. Keep the bandage snug but not too tight, as this can restrict blood flow.
4. Secure the end of the bandage with tape or a clip to prevent it from unraveling.
5. Check the bandage regularly to ensure it is still in place and not too tight.
6. If the bandage becomes wet, dirty, or uncomfortable, replace it with a fresh one.
7. If the wound is bleeding heavily or the bandage becomes soaked with blood, seek medical attention immediately.
8. Remove the bandage carefully to avoid causing further injury to the wound.
9. Wash your hands before and after bandaging to prevent infection.
10. If you are unsure how to properly bandage a wound, seek guidance from a healthcare professional.

Rules of Bandaging Using a Roller Bandage:
1. Patient Position:
- Position the patient comfortably and ensure the injured area is accessible.
2. Assess the Wound:
- Clean and examine the wound to determine its severity and the appropriate bandage.
3. Apply Padding:
- If necessary, place sterile padding around the wound to cushion it and absorb fluids.
4. Start at the Distal End:
- Begin by securing the bandage end near the injured extremity (e.g., fingers, toes).
5. Roll the Bandage Snugly:
- Use firm, overlapping strokes to roll the bandage snugly around the injured area, providing support without excessive pressure.
6. Cover the Wound:
- Ensure that the bandage completely covers the wound and extends slightly beyond it to prevent contamination.
7. Roll Proximal to Distal:
- Continue rolling the bandage towards the body, securing it as you go.
8. Use Reversal Strokes:
- To prevent wrinkles and discomfort, occasionally use reversal strokes (rolling the bandage away from the body).
9. Secure the End:
- When you reach the proximal end, secure the bandage with tape, a safety pin, or the bandage itself.
10. Inspect and Monitor:
- Regularly inspect the bandage for cleanliness, moisture, and any signs of discomfort. Change it as needed.
Additional Tips:
- Use a bandage of appropriate width and length for the injured area.
- Avoid applying the bandage too tightly, as this can restrict blood flow.
- Ensure that the bandage does not cover the wound directly, as it may stick to it and cause pain upon removal.
- Keep the wound area clean and dry to promote healing.
