Instructions
1
Stretch out the piece of fabric. If you don't have a sheet of fabric or gauze, use a shirt, piece of drapery, jeans or sheets in emergencies.
2
Cut the fabric into a square of roughly 3 feet by 3 feet, unless the wound is very small. Then cut the square in half along the diagonal axis to make two triangles.
3
Sterilize the bandages in boiling water or, in a pinch, by soaking it in hydrogen peroxide or another disinfectant to prevent the risk of infection. Let dry.
Tips & Warnings
Fold a handkerchief in half diagonally to make a really fast triangle bandage.
Triangle bandages are only temporary. Always remove the bandage and replace it with sterile fresh ones as soon as possible. If necessary, seek medical attention for serious wounds.
