Figure 8 Bandage

[XxChristmanXx04]

correct me if im wrong. It looks like a double figure 8 wrap. instead of laying it down distal to proximal, it looks like she is wrapping both proximal and distal and putting ALOT of wrapping around the center of the foot?

Thanks, I have to take exma in a mintue and I know I will pass thanks to this vedio

This bandage should go from toe to knee as all bandages should go joint to joint and not just finish above the ankle. This could cause swelling above where the bandage finishes. poor example!

@Lynzi2002uk I have never seen a foot or ankle injury wrapped to the knee.

[XxChristmanXx04]

@Lynzi2002uk as long as the tension is tighter distally more than proximally, wouldn't it increase circulation in the venous system? Actually getting rid of edema? Im not being a dick, I'm just confused as to what you are saying.

[weewifie]

thanks! I am a student nurse doing a degree unit in tissue viability and having never done compression bandaging the figure of 8 was confusing me!! next placement is in the community so am sure I'll get lots of practice then... and I won't look stupid as I'll know how it's done!

Thank for the info. I just twisted my ankle wrestling and being able to wrap it good feel great. Thank you, thank you.

[insomia1925]

what is the feeling of having your ankled twisted? does it hurt that much? usually, when playing basketball, the sprain they encounter, is it really painful? i sometimes wish i could feel it. but still, am happy not to.. +,)

Spraining anything is bound to have pain. But, comparing a sprain to something broken or fractured is very minor. Don't worry about it.

@insomia1925 hi, i just experienced my first sprain of my life. yes, it is painful. very painful, but its less painful than a fracture, though ive not experienced a fracture yet...

[SimpliztixX]

@octobergal when i fractured my arm it actually didnt work as much as when i sprained my knee because it was pretty much numb

[SimpliztixX]

@SimpliztixX i meant hurt not work

[kielster]

@insomia1925 You don't feel pain? What?

Great video. I wish they had something like MedTube. It's wonderful how you can learn so many simple techniques through YouTube.
