Application of sling dressings

A sling-shaped bandage is very convenient when it is necessary to apply it to protruding parts of the body:

• outer area of ​​the nose;
• chin and jaw area;
• back of the head;
• forehead area;
• eyes, while the bandage can be applied to one or both eyes;
• crown area.

A sling bandage on the lower jaw can be installed in cases of dislocation or fracture of the jaw, as well as in situations where it is necessary to fix the position of the jaw.

Sequence of production and use

The fabric will be needed based on the specific location of the bandage:

1. If the bandage is intended to be placed on the chin or nose, the width of the bandage should be 6-8 cm, length – 60-70 cm.
2. For a bandage on the back of the head and forehead, the width of the fabric should be 15-25 cm, length - 1 meter.

Important: the person applying the bandage must wear sterile gloves or thoroughly clean their hands before manipulation.

Instructions for applying a sling bandage:

• the strip of fabric must be cut at both ends, approximately 20 cm of uncut material should remain in the middle, this is how a sling is made;
• the one who applies the bandage must face the patient;
• the patient should be warned that a bandage will be applied, sit straight and calm, the head should be directed straight without bending;
• Use sterile tweezers to hold the sterile bandage and place it on the open wound, if any;
• the uncut part of the sling material is placed on a napkin, the ends of the bandage are fixed on the opposite side of the head;
• The lower sling straps are fixed on the upper part of the head, the upper ones - on the lower part, closer to the cervical region.

Differences in the position of the bandage depending on the location of the injury:

Important: this type of bandage can be applied to the victim by anyone for a short period of time, before seeking medical help; for long-term wearing, a sling-shaped bandage must be applied by a doctor or any other physician.

The photos and videos in this article will tell you how to properly apply this type of bandage to your jaw and chin.

Bridle bandage

Another way to secure the affected area is with a jaw bandage. This bandage provides stronger fixation of the lower jaw compared to a sling bandage. This occurs by performing additional turns of the bandage around the head.

The bridle can be used for various injuries:

The dressing process

To successfully install a frenulum bandage on the jaw you will need:

• bandage, the width of which should be from 8 to 10 cm;
• An adhesive plaster or pin is suitable for fixation;
• scissors.

The bandage is applied according to the following points:

1. The patient should sit facing the person applying the bandage. In this case, the patient must be warned that the manipulation will be performed.
2. The first circle with a bandage is made from the forehead to the back of the head.
3. Next, from the back of the head, the bandage is applied to the side of the neck. In this case, it passes from below the ear, passes along the lower part of the chin, and goes to the opposite side of the face. Further along the ascending path past the second ear.
4. The number of vertical circles is made based on the severity of the damage and the required degree of fixation of the lower jaw.
5. The circles are completed by holding the bandage from bottom to top diagonally to the back of the head. From there the fabric goes to the forehead.
6. The original figure is repeated - several circles are made from the back of the head to the forehead.
7. The bandage is fixed on the patient's forehead. This should not occur above the surface of the wound, so as not to interfere with tissue healing.

When performing bandaging using the bridle-bandage principle, more time will be used compared to a sling-type bandage.

To apply a dressing of this type, you will need a larger amount of material than to make a sling-shaped dressing. However, the price of bandages or gauze material is not high, which means that everyone can afford to buy it in reserve.

Important: any dressing can be purchased ready-made at the pharmacy.

The technique of applying such bandages will be useful for any person to master, regardless of age and type of activity. A sling bandage for the jaw will help an injured person wait for medical attention.

How to make it yourself

To make a sling with your own hands, you need to take a long piece of gauze or a wide bandage (approximately 60 or 70 cm). After this, cut it at both ends and leave a solid gap in the middle, 15 to 20 centimeters long (it is best to use a bandage 6 to 8 cm wide). Thus, the bandage has four free ends.

The device must be made of a sterile bandage. This need is explained by the frequent presence of an open wound located at the site where the bandage was applied.

Action, operating rules, best bandages

The bandage allows you to get rid of decreased skin elasticity, poor circulation, wrinkles, and fat deposits. It creates compression, which stimulates blood circulation and fat burning.

Indications: double chin, sagging, wrinkles. Contraindications: pregnancy and feeding, problems with the heart and blood vessels, hypertension, inflammation on the face. There are several types of bandages. This is a lifting corset, mask and facial bandage. They have the same purpose, but they are made of different materials and have some differences.

The rules of application are the same for everyone. You need to wash your face, put on a bandage, adjust it and remove it after some time. The time is determined by the cosmetologist. The best bondages: Aurafix-1800, GLSLIM, Variteks 235. After use, you need to wash the bandage with soap. The cost varies up to approximately 4100 rubles.

Read more about bandages and bandages below.

Action and efficiency

A facial bandage has exactly the same effect as compression garments. Initially, such devices were invented to consolidate the results after a circular chin lift or liposuction. Wearing them is a prerequisite for the rehabilitation period after surgery.

However, the effect is observed even without the use of a scalpel, if you combine the bandage with special corrective cosmetics and massage.

The bandage helps fight the following age-related changes:

• decreased elasticity of skin turgor in the area of ​​the cheeks and chin;
• circulatory disorders;
• unexpressed oval face;
• fine wrinkles;
• disruption of muscle fibers;
• fat deposits.

Due to the compression effect, the mask increases blood circulation, which promotes the breakdown of fat. It promotes muscle recovery after daytime stress and reduces the force of gravity that is detrimental to facial tone.

Those who like to sleep on their side or stomach cannot do without such a cosmetic device, because it has been scientifically proven that such a resting position certainly contributes to the appearance of wrinkles in the face, neck and décolleté.

How it works

The bandage creates a certain compression, which improves blood circulation and thereby stimulates the destruction of fat cells.
And if you work your facial muscles while wearing a bandage, you can feel the real effect of the exercise machine. You move your muscles, and the bandage forces you to put a lot more effort into it. So, by doing the most ordinary household chores or even going to bed wearing a tightening mask, you also train the muscles of your face and neck. And this is good at any age.

Why is the procedure necessary?

By regularly wrapping your face with an elastic bandage, the skin becomes smooth and tightened due to its rejuvenating and lymphatic drainage effect.

Using an elastic bandage, constant compression is created on the face, so blood circulation improves and fat deposits are completely removed. Muscles also recover after a hard day of work and constant tension, the force of attraction decreases, and the face regains its tone.

The muscles are constantly in opposition during compression, which trains them well. This load gradually restores tone and elasticity, the face tightens and becomes younger. This procedure brings the desired effect, because muscle fibers have their own memory, and therefore remember the correct position.

The bandage can be worn all day, while doing business, and left overnight if the person does not experience any discomfort. To enhance the compression effect, the bandage can be used with other home remedies, such as lifting masks and gymnastics.

Indications and contraindications

The use of a bandage has its own characteristics, so not in every case it will be possible to get rid of problems.

It is recommended to use elastic bandages:

• to get rid of a double chin;
• against sagging skin;
• anti-wrinkle;
• to improve the facial oval;
• against dark bags in the eye area.

Despite the soft and gentle effect of the device on the skin, there are several contraindications to its use.

The bandage should not be used:

• while carrying or feeding a baby;
• for problems with the heart or circulatory system;
• for hypertension;
• for inflammation, rashes or other problems on the face.

Important! The device, which successfully combats sagging and wrinkles, also has a small drawback - at first, especially if you have to sleep in it, there will be a slight discomfort. You should not stop using it - over time, the inconvenience will completely disappear.

Using a tightening bandage will quickly tidy up your face, but you should not forget about other skin care procedures. Even home remedies made from simple ingredients will be beneficial. Comprehensive care will certainly be reflected on the face - it will become toned and fresh.

Compression: modeling shapes with pressure

Compression is widely used by the knitting industry in the manufacture of underwear - sports, medical, and for weight loss. Compression (from the Latin “compressio” - compression, squeezing) prevents blood stagnation, supports muscles and even redistributes subcutaneous fat - not immediately, but over time, with regular wearing of corrective knitwear.

With the face, compression works in a similar way: by applying pressure, it increases blood circulation, tightens muscles and tones the skin. If you persistently wear a corset, the person will be forced to come to terms with the inevitable - to accept the imposed form.

Adaptation is a fundamental property of a living organism. And our “organism”, the face, adapts to the conditions in exactly the same way. In conditions of gravity and age, it “floats” down, in the grip of compression it returns back. Speaking of vices...

How and when can you wear a bandage?

We all know that shapewear helps not only to disguise figure imperfections, but also to hide them with the help of its compression effect. The same applies to special masks.

It is best to wear them at night, it is at this time that all the cells in our body are restored. The bandage is indicated not only for those who already have pronounced age-related changes; it is perfect for the prevention of aesthetic problems.

The bandage consists of the following layers:

• rubber;
• several “breathable” layers;
• cooling.

Bandages are made from spandex and elastane; these materials are hypoallergenic and do not cause any side effects. To enhance the effect, it is recommended to apply modeling cosmetics to the skin of the face before going to bed and only then put on a bandage.

It is securely fixed with Velcro fasteners that help control the tension force. After sleep, the bandage is removed. Then you need to wash your face to remove any remaining cream.

Interestingly, many consumers are afraid to use compression bandages because they can cause suffocation in their sleep. This judgment is fundamentally wrong, since the design of the bandage completely prevents suffocation, and its fasteners allow you to achieve the most comfortable level of tightening.

Types of bandages

There are several types of elastic bandage that affect different problems and areas of the face. You should not try to figure out on your own, through experiments, which bandage to use to improve the condition of your skin - it is better to seek the help of a cosmetologist, who will select the most suitable option.

An elastic bandage for the face for lifting can be of the following types:

• Lifting corset for tightening. Shapes the cheeks, eliminates the double chin, corrects the oval of the face.
• Mask. Evens out the skin, eliminates sagging and double chin, strengthens muscles. The bandage for the oval face can be used for tightening not only by the fairer sex, but also by men - the bandage perfectly replicates all the features of the relief of the cheeks and chin.
• Facial bandage. The material of the device is spandex, elastane. They have remarkable properties of tightening the skin and triggering regeneration processes in the tissues of the dermis, and are completely hypoallergenic - do not cause side effects.

Regardless of which type of bandage will be used, they have the same application methods. The procedure occurs in the following order:

1. Completely remove all decorative makeup from the face.
2. Wash with detergents, preferably natural ones.
3. Put on a bandage (bandage).
4. Adjust using clamps, and you need to make sure that there is no discomfort or unpleasant feeling of tightness.
5. After manipulations that are carried out for a certain time (the duration of the procedure is prescribed by the cosmetologist), remove the bandage.

Important! The bandage must be properly cared for - washed regularly with warm water, without using aggressive detergents. Dry away from sunlight and heating devices, which can damage the device.

Facial bandage

One of the best tightening devices is a face bandage. It is made with hypoallergenic components, so it is suitable for people with sensitive, delicate skin.

Sling bandage for jaw

A sling bandage is a simple type of bandage that allows you to immobilize moving parts in case of damage to the lower jaw.

A sling-shaped bandage for the lower jaw is a strip of fabric that has two longitudinal cuts at both ends. There is a whole part of the bandage in the center.

This bandage is easy to use and make; it is convenient to apply it to protruding parts of the body, in particular on the head.

It is difficult to overestimate its reliability compared to other dressings:

• bandage dressings are bulky and unreliable;
• It is almost impossible to fix the transport material on the head with an adhesive plaster or glue.

A sling-shaped bandage for the chin (jaw, back of the head) can be made of different materials:

The material is cut longitudinally at the ends of the bandage, the central part of the fabric remains uncut. This bandage allows you to secure the dressing material without resorting to hard fixing devices, glue or adhesive tape. The bandage is secured using the ends of the fixing material cut into two parts.

A fracture of the mandible (upper jaw) is most conveniently fixed using a sling bandage. Indications for the use of the bandage are dislocations of the lower jaw, jaw fractures.

Its purpose is to fix the desired part of the skull, so long ties are usually made for it. The lower ends of the bandage are brought together at the crown of the head, the upper ends at the back of the head. Then they cross and are secured on the forehead.

This simple technique prevents the lower loop from sliding off the crown area.

A sling-shaped bandage on the jaw completely fixes it. For example, in case of damage to the lower jaw, the lower end of the bandage is attached in the crown area after the decussation. The lower end is directed to the back of the head, another cross is made and attached to the patient’s forehead.

In order not to disturb the patient's breathing rhythm, the nurse should ensure that the bandage is not too tight.

Algorithm

A sling splint is a standard medical procedure that can be performed by a nurse.

Its algorithm is as follows:

• the nurse sits the patient in a comfortable position and explains to him the purpose and procedure of this manipulation;
• during the procedure, the nurse can comment on her actions;
• a bandage with medicine is applied to the nose area, a sling is placed on top in a direction transverse to the face;
• the upper parts of the sling are carried below the ears and secured to the neck;
• the lower parts of the sling are placed just above the ears and tied at the back of the head.

1. sterile napkin;
2. kidney-shaped coxa;
3. tweezers.

How a sling bandage is made description:

• the nurse takes a bandage strip 6-8 centimeters wide and 50-70 centimeters long;
• the size of the material should allow the bandage to be fixed in the area of ​​the nose or chin;
• for bandages that will be fixed on the forehead or back of the head, a bandage up to 1 meter long and 15-20 centimeters wide is required.

Sling bandage application technique. To correctly apply a sling bandage, the following algorithm should be followed:

• the nurse prepares a sling - a bandage of suitable size is cut from the ends, leaving about 20 centimeters of untouched linen in the middle;
• the nurse stands next to the patient, face to face;
• the patient is advised to sit calmly and straight, keep his head straight;
• the sterile dressing is held in position with sterile tweezers. The dressing material is placed on the open wound;
• the middle of the sling (the whole part) is placed on top of a sterile napkin, its ends allow you to fix the bandage on the opposite side of the head;
• The upper ends of the sling are tied on the lower part of the head, closer to the cervical region, the lower ends - on the upper part.
