TO DETERMINE DRY OR WET CRAPE BANDAGES ADVANTAGES IN ORTHOPEDIC WARD FOR APPLYING BACKSLABS

Purpose: To determine if there is any change in the length of the crepe bandage and when the wet cotton bandage is wet and left to dry again. This will simulate the application of a wet bandage to the Paris plasterboard (POP) and then to the crockery. Place of Work: Orthopedic Surgery Unit I Sheikh Zayed Hospital Rahim Yar Khan. Study plan: Experimental study Materials and methods: 50 cm crepe strips and simple cotton bandages were taken. We made them moist and we measured them, then dried them up and measured them again. Findings: Both the bandage and the simple cotton bandage were wetted and then dried at a total of about 6%. For this reason, this phenomenon has the potential to cause compression effects on the limbs and to raise the intracompartmental pressure in the case of POP plaque application. Conclusion: As a result of the need to apply POP support plates to bandages such as creeper or cotton in dry back. Key words: Crepe bandage, POP back plate, simple cotton bandage.
