Safe Bandaging
corroborated
Short answer
Use disinfected wound-treatment material whenever possible. Dirty material can create wound infection.
Also: dirty rags · disinfect bandage · safe rags
What to do
Inspect the treatment item for disinfected state. Disinfect suitable material if needed and possible. Bandage until all bleeds are stopped. Monitor for infection after any questionable treatment.
How it works
Bandaging is not only about closing the wound. The state of the treatment item matters.
