Spiral bandages are one of the most common methods of securing bandages to wounds and injuries that are located above the knees, elbows and other areas of the body. The use of such bandages is especially important for people actively involved in sports, for example, for football players, tennis and basketball players, where injuries and bruises are very common. Applying a brace can be quite challenging depending on the type of injury, so in this article we will look at how to properly apply coil braces and the benefits they can provide to patients and healthcare professionals.
How do spiral dressings work? Coil bandages, also known as Dolahra bandages, are a relatively new method of securing bandages to stabilize wounds in areas where conventional bandages may not always be comfortable to apply. When applying a Spiral bandage, the specialist must take one of its loops and place it between more layers of bandage or gauze before securing the fasteners. Fixed clamps then span the bandage loop in multiple locations to effectively shape and hold each wound site. Spiral bandages have a number of advantages over traditional bandaging methods:
1. Comfortable: Thanks to its ergonomic shape, spiral wraps are easy to apply to different areas of the body. They are elastic and easily fit on the skin without squeezing it. 2. Durability: Spirals allow you to properly distribute pressure and protect the wound from accidental movement. This is especially important in the case of injuries associated with bruises or other mechanical damage. The spiral also allows you to fix the tissue around the wound, preventing it from moving. The dressings are more durable because they do not delaminate or move, which increases efficiency and convenience for patients. 3. Security: Each turn is securely secured by installing a clip fastener and tensioning the loop. The clips prevent the bandage from slipping on the body or air or dirt from getting into the wound. As a result, the patient will not experience pain or skin irritation. 4. Multifunctional: The spiral bandage can be used to treat a variety of wounds, ranging from minor scratches to more serious injuries. In addition, it can also be used to secure splints and other medical devices in the treatment of fractures or other surgical procedures. 5. Environmentally friendly: Natural material is used to make spiral dressings
