SUPPORT SLING
A sling can be used when there is an injury to arm to either immobilise it or to help the casualty to support it and prevent movement or strain.
​
Sadly this is one of the first things people always forget how to do but not with our method.
NORMAL SLING APPLICATION
STEP 1
Open up the triangular bandage and find the 90 degree angle
STEP 2
Tie a knot in the 90 degree corner
STEP 3
Get the other two lose corners and tie them together
STEP 4
STEP 5
Slip the sling onto the effected arm, the effected elbow goes into the right angle part, this should just have one loose end by the knot.
​
The other two corners you tied together (two loose ends by the knot) slip over the casualties head
Finished job
​
If the hand is too low simply untie the knot at the back of the neck, adjust and retie.
DISLOCATION SLING APPLICATION
A different type of sling for when there may be a shoulder injury such as a dislocation or other type of injury where you do not want pressure on the shoulder.
