Elasticated bandages

This technique relies on using the vasculature to bring the local anesthetic solution to the nerve trunks and endings. In this technique, an extremity is exsanguinated with an Esmarch (elastic) bandage, and a proximally located tourniquet is inflated to 100 to 150 mm Hg above the systolic blood pressure. The Esmarch bandage is removed, and the local anesthetic is injected into a previously cannulated vein. Typically, complete anesthesia of the limb ensues within 5 to 10 min. 

Bandaging the drug application site can be a simple and very effective alternative. A nonstick type pad is placed over the site and a small custom cut vest-shaped elastic bandage is used to hold the pad in place. The compound is applied under the bandage daily and the bandages are changed weekly or when untoward effects are noted, e.g., ulcers, swelling (56). 

Class I—Regulatory Controls These devices are subject to the least regulatory control as they usually have a simple design and present minimal potential for harm. Examples include examination gloves, elastic bandages, and urine collecting bags. Most Class-I devices are exempt from 510(k) or GMP controls. 

Devices classified as Class I only are very simple by design and have a very low potential to cause harm. Examples include toothbrushes, tongue depressors, elastic bandages, examination gloves, eye pads, ice bags, nasal rubber bulb syringes, hand-held surgical instruments. 

The material of closing dust source between hydraulic supports. According to the performance of hydraulic support, the field conditions and industrial reality also satisfied the closed material characteristics to dust source. The original materials have been chosen as follows a tank chain sheet structure made of zero copper knitted rubber rope net structure high elastic fibers (spandex) high elastic bandage a rubber band, rubber (board). 

This type of imobilizing by using elastic bandages is preferable in the minor and moderate forms of distractions, subdislocations and even recurrent dislocations. 

A plaster type non-elastic bandage, Unna s boot is favoured in the USA. However, compression would be achieved by three-layer dressing that consists of Unna s boot, continuous gauze dressing followed by an outer layer of elastic wrap. It should be stressed that Unna s boot, being rigid, is uncomfortable to wear and medical professionals are unable to monitor the ulcers after the boot is applied.
