How to Wrap a Knee Joint with an Elastic Bandage | Nursing Skill Tutorial

In this video I demonstrate how to wrap a knee joint with an elastic bandage in order to derive the most benefit and comfort from using the wrap. People wear elastic bandages on knee joints for many different reasons including preventative during sports or activity, to aid in healing after a sprain or strain, or for pain relief from chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis. Wrapping a knee joint properly will provide support and compression to the joint, which will ultimately result in increased comfort for the patient. Knee pain is a very common complaint seen in the ER, urgent care, or primary care office. In this nursing skill tutorial, I walk you through how to wrap a knee step by step so that the elastic bandage will stay in place and provide the most benefit to you or your patient.
