Bandage

This type of bandage is used to provide support for the ligaments and tendons located in the lower limb contralateral to the injured leg which is bearing excessive weight. This technique is similar to the previous minus the use for underlying wound dressing, inner conforming gauze layer, the wide adhesive elastic tape or tape around the top and bottom. When using a splint, the materials are very different. A splint is a rigid material that’s added to a limb to reinforced immobilization of a particular part of a limb. These material consist of; wooden slats, metal bars, lower temperature thermoplastic material, and casting material. Surprising the most commonly used material is a PVC pipe. This technique goes as follows; first a thick support bandage is placed on the limb, it should be long enough to cover the limb above and below the ends of the splint, this will prevent the development of pressure sores. You can now use adhesive tape to secure the splint in place. It’s very important to reset this splint frequently, at least once a day in foals, and if needed for long periods of time. Thankfully there have been some…

One of the first aid basics everyone need to learn the different types of bandaging techniques and how they should be used. This is because most of the…

proteases which play a major role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in case of normal wound healing. However when over expressed these MMPs tend to delay the wound healing process by degrading the newly formed ECM. It is observed that the MMPs are highly over expressed in case of diabetic wounds. Alendronate is a bisphosphonate molecule that is capable of binding to divalent ions like Zn2+, Ca2+. These divalent ions are the major cofactors for MMP activity. Thereby the binding of these…

the blood. Right then my coaches game over with some gauze and put it on my cut. They both took me and led me down to the athletic training room. The hallway felt so long, I was dizzy and couldn’t see because my glasses were knocked off on impact. Finally we got to the training room. I felt so hot and sick, I asked for the trash can and some water. I got sick then drank some water to help cool me down. Finally after awhile of cooling and calming down they cleaned me up. The athletic trainer put…

I had to wear the bandage for two weeks. “See,” my mom said. “I told you, you would be alright!” When the two weeks were up I attempted to take off the bandage, of course it wouldn't come off. I went downstairs to tell my mom. “It’s stuck to my neck mom!” I screamed “It won’t come off!” My whole family was in the bathroom trying to get the bandage off without me screaming in pain, to calm me down we sang random songs together. The bandage was still somewhat stuck to my neck and slowly came off…

A muscle injury is caused by strain on the ligament tissue that connects two or more bones. Muscle injuries can be devastating to victims especially when treatment is delayed or unknown. This is a common occurence in households where safety kits may be absent. Occupants of a household who choose to engage in physical activity prior to warming up or exercising are most vulnerable. Common household activities such as stretching at household gyms, lifting heavy household items, falling off stairs,…

The phalanx and claw are extended with the nail trimmers. Pressure is applied to the nail trimmers, cutting over the joint. The contour of the joint is followed with the trimmers, crushing and cutting the extensor tendon, the ligaments and the deep digital flexor tendon. The nail trimmers are completely shut to complete the amputation. The incision is then inspected for remaining fragments of the phalanx, which are removed. The incision is left open or can be closed with suture. Pressure…
