# Conforming Bandage

A conforming bandage is a soft, stretchy bandage that easily moulds to the body’s contours. It is used to secure dressings in place without restricting movement.


**What is a conforming bandage and when should you use one in first aid?**

## How to use a conforming bandage:

1. Place a sterile dressing over the wound.
2. Wrap the conforming bandage gently around the area.
3. Ensure it is firm but not tight to avoid restricting blood flow.
4. Secure the end with tape, clips, or a bandage fastener.
5. Check circulation regularly if applied to a limb.
