It may also be used to support or immobilise an injury to a bone or joint or as improvised padding over a painful injury.Also known as a cravat bandage, a triangular bandage is a piece of cloth put into a right-angled triangle, and often provided with safety pins to secure it in place. It can be used fully unrolled as a sling, folded as a normal bandage, or for specialized applications, as on the head. One advantage of this type of bandage is that it can be makeshift and made from a fabric scrap or a piece of clothing.The Boy Scouts popularized use of this bandage in many of their first aid lessons, as a part of the uniform is a "neckerchief" that can easily be folded to form a cravat Uses include: - to support arms and shoulders (sling) - to secure splints and dressings - to apply pressure over a large area - to immobilize ankles and feet - to control bleeding (tourniquet) - to control bleeding when direct pressure is unsuitable (e.g. embedded or protruding objects) No expiration date.Medical Uses for a Triangular Bandage1.
