AMX Care Egyptian gauze bandage is a 5 cm wide roll made from lightweight cotton mesh that allows air through. It is used in home first aid to secure dressings over superficial wounds and scratches, and to wrap fingers, the wrist and small areas of the body. The roll comes in its own wrapper to keep it clean until use.
Key Features
- The 5 cm width suits fingers, the hand and wrist, and children's ankles.
- Soft cotton mesh allows the skin beneath the dressing to breathe.
- Easy to cut to the required length with scissors.
- Individually wrapped for convenient storage in a first-aid kit.
- Secures gauze or a dressing over a wound without being heavy.
How to Use
- Clean the wound first, then cover it with a sterile dressing or piece of sterile gauze.
- Wrap around the area with overlapping turns, each covering approximately half the previous turn.
- Secure the end with medical tape, and make sure the wrapping is not too tight.
- Replace the bandage if it becomes dirty or wet.
Who Is It For?
For first-aid kits at home, in the car, at work or at school, and for anyone needing to secure a dressing over a minor wound or scratch on the hand or foot.
Precautions
- The wrapper does not state that it is sterile, so do not place it alone directly on an open wound; use a sterile dressing underneath.
- Loosen the bandage if the extremities become numb, cold or blue, as this indicates that the wrapping is too tight.
- See a doctor for deep wounds, persistent bleeding, or redness, swelling and pus.
- Store in a dry, clean place.
