How to Wrap a Wrist Sprain with an Elastic Bandage | Nursing Skill Tutorial

In this video I demonstrate how to wrap a wrist sprain with an elastic bandage all by yourself. It is easier to apply an elastic bandage if you have someone else to help, but it's still possible to do on your own. Applying an elastic bandage to a wrist injury helps decrease swelling and pain, and promotes healing by limiting mobility of the wrist joint. In this nursing skill tutorial, I walk you through how to wrap a knee step by step so that the elastic bandage will provide the most benefit to you or your patient. In this video I demonstrate the wrist wrapping with a 3 inch elastic bandage i picked up at Dollar Tree store. I've talked about these elastic bandages in some of my other videos, but I wanted to try one out myself to test the quality of the Dollar Tree brand elastic bandages and give you my honest review of them. I hope after watching this video you can easily apply your wrist wrap own your own!

These elastic bandages have velcro on the ends if you prefer that:
