Primary layer

contact

Secondary Layer

intermediate/absorbent

Tertiary layer

outer/protective

debridement

the removal of damaged tissue or foreign objects from a wound)

Types of Primary layer Bandages

Adherent and Non-adherent

Functions of the Primary Layer Bandage

• Debride tissue

• Deliver topical medications

• form an occlusive seal over a wound

Types of Adherent Bandages

• Dry-to-Dry

• Wet-to-dry

• Wet-to-Wet

Dry-to-Dry Bandage

foreign material/necrotic tissue with abundant exudate

Wet-to-Dry Bandage

debridement stage advances/inflammatory exudate is purulent

Wet-to-Wet Bandage

not widely used → debriding capacity is low

Abundant viscous exudate with little foreign

debris or necrotic material

When should you use an Adherent Bandage?

For debridement of necrotic tissue adhering to vital structures

When should you use Non-Adherent Bandages?

For closed or partial-thickness wounds

Types of non-adherent bandages

Semi-occlusive and occlusive

Semi-occlusive Bandage

Has a permeable and moist environment, while removing bacteria

Occlusive Bandage

Impermeable, and should be used with healthy wounds with minimal exudation to avoid trapping bacteria allowing it to proliferate

Secondary Bandage Layer Functions

• Absorption of wound exudate / fluid

• Support

• Compression

• Protect the wound from trauma

• Avoid excessive pressure

• Must be changed before it soaks

Tertiary Bandage layer Functions

• protects from environment

• Holds bandage in place

• immobilizes

• Gauze bandage & Elastic adhesive

Robert Jones Bandage Indications

• Distal limb fractures

• Compression

• Temporary support of a fracture before surgical intervention

Modified Robert Jones Bandage indications

Very Common Bandage

• Protect incision or wound (temporary compression of a limb after surgery)

• Provide support (minimal)

• Prevent / reduce swelling

Splint Bandage indications

• Provide additional stability to fracture repair

• Support after cast or ESF (external skeletal fixation) removal

• Protect soft tissue repairs of the distal limbs

Robert Jones Bandage Steps

1. Stirrups

   • Primary layer if needed

2. Cotton Wrap

3. Conforming bandage

4. Separate tape stirrups

5. Vet Wrap

Modified Robert Jones Bandage Steps

1. Stirrups

   • Primary Layer if needed

2. Cast padding

3. Conforming bandage

4. Separate the tape stirrups

5. Vet wrap
