Bandages for upper and lower limbs

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

On the hand and area of the wrist joint usually impose an eight-shaped (cruciform) bandage (Fig. 63, a). To close an extensive wound of the hand and fingers, a returning bandage is used. The bandage is fixed with several circular tours at the wrist, then it is led along the back of the hand to the index finger, thrown over it and cover the palmar surface of the hand. The entire hand and 4 fingers are covered with several returning tours, after which these tours are fixed with horizontal tours (spiral bandage), starting from the bases of the fingers and ending at the wrist.

Headbands on one finger (index, middle, ring and little fingers) (Fig. 63, b, c) begin with strengthening the bandage with several rounds at the wrist joint, then the bandage is carried out along the back of the hand to the end of the finger, which is closed with a spiral ascending bandage to the base. Having closed the entire finger, the bandage is removed through the interdigital gap to the back of the hand and fixed in several rounds around the forearm; an eight-shaped (spike-shaped) bandage is applied to the thumb of the hand.

Bandages for upper and lower limbs

Rice. 63. Bandages on the upper and lower limbs: a - on the hand and wrist joint; b - on the second finger of the hand; c - mesh-spongy bandages on the fingers of the hand; g - on the first toe; d - on the whole foot; e - combined on the thigh, buttock and abdomen; the numbers indicate the order of applying bandage tours

Forearm it is best to cover with a spiral bandage (see Fig. 61, a). The elbow joint area can also be covered with a spiral bandage. The arm in the elbow joint is slightly bent. Bandaging begins with the imposition of fixing circular tours on the forearm near the joint and gradually moves to the elbow and shoulder, where they finish the bandage with several circular tours. If necessary, to fix the elbow joint in a bent position, a converging turtle bandage is applied - a kind of eight-shaped.

Bandage on the area of the shoulder joint (see Fig. 61, c) is performed as follows. On the shoulder, closer to the armpit, impose 3-4 circular rounds. The fifth round from the armpit is carried out somewhat obliquely upwards, along the outer surface of the shoulder to the back and then around the chest, before the start of this round. The sixth round is carried out around the shoulder, somewhat covering the beginning of the previous round, through the armpit they are taken to the front surface and then obliquely upward through the joint to the back, etc. As many rounds are applied as required to completely cover the area of the shoulder joint.

On the foot (Fig. 63, d) only one finger is bandaged separately. The bandage begins with strengthening the bandage at the ankles, then the bandage is carried out along the back of the foot to the end of the toe. This tour is closed with a spiral upward bandage to the base of the finger. Next, the bandage through the interdigital gap is brought to the back of the foot and fixed around the lower leg.

The entire foot can be covered with a very simple bandage (Fig. 63e). Having fixed the bandage around the shin, the foot is wrapped with several circular (without tension) longitudinal tours from the heel to the toes, covering the lateral surfaces of the foot. Then, starting from the toes, a spiral upward bandage is applied to the foot, which ends at the lower leg.

On the knee joint (see fig. 61, d) it is best to apply divergent tortoiseshell bandage.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Revolutionary Tape Technology 11.05.2014

The new technology will help increase the amount of data on tape cartridges by 74 times - up to 148 Gbit per square meter. inch.

Magnetic tape cartridges today do not seem to be the most modern media for storing information. However, for storing large amounts of data at an affordable price, nothing better has yet been invented. Sony believes that in anticipation of the influx of Big Data, it is necessary to look for new materials for magnetic tapes that will significantly increase the recording density.

The LTO-6 cartridge in use today (LTO Ultrium format) is capable of storing up to 2,5 TB of uncompressed data, which corresponds to a recording density of about 2 Gb/sq. inch. Sony believes that this no longer meets modern needs. For this reason, together with IBM, the Japanese have created a technology that can increase the capacity of a conventional cartridge by 1 times, i.e. up to 74TB per cartridge. In this case, the recording density will correspond to a value of approximately 185 Gb / 148kv. inch.

High-capacity magnetic tape consists of several layers, the main of which is a layer with grains of magnetic material. This layer is formed by vacuum spray deposition. Elementary magnetic grains in the new material have decreased from a few tens of nanometers to a size of about 7 nm. At the same time, the grain structure remained ordered, which increases the reliability of data storage.
