You want it tight enough to apply pressure but to not cut off circulation.

]]> 4945 1 41 Tip Have the victim bend the elbow slightly if they can do so without causing further pain or injury. This positioning will make the bandaging easier.

]]> 4946 2 49 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/286/49.jpg Wrap upward Wrap upward, winding the bandage diagonally from the elbow toward the bicep.

]]> 4947 3 55 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/286/55.jpg Wrap figure eight When you reach the elbow, wrap a figure-eight pattern around the elbow so the X, or middle, of the figure eight is on the inside of your elbow, then continue upward.

]]> 4948 4 67 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/286/67.jpg Finish bandage When you reach the bicep, finish the bandage by completing two turns directly over one another, just like at the beginning, without moving the position of the bandage.

]]> 4949 5 83 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/286/83.jpg Use binding clips Use the binding clips found in the bandage packaging—or apply a strip of adhesive tape—to keep the bandage in place.

]]> 4950 6 91 Tip Avoid anything that might increase swelling in the first 48 hours after an injury, like a hot shower or drinking alcohol.

]]> 4951 7 99 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/286/99.jpg Check circulation Check for circulation by squeezing the tip one of the fingers on the injured arm and see how long it takes for color to come back to the fingertip. If it takes longer than 3 seconds, unravel the bandage and redo it a little looser this time.

]]> 4952 8 113 Fact The funny bone is not a bone at all, but a nerve that runs along the ulna, one of the two major bones in the forearm.
