Bandaging primarily protects and supports, but it can also be used to
apply pressure, thus arresting bleeding. It can support a fracture, help with
pain control, and give psychological relief.The actual technique of bandag-
ing is a vast subject and has been more than adequately covered in any
number of f rst-aid and survival manuals often available in normal book
stores and camping shops.
