Steps:
1. Cover the wound with a sterile or clean dressing, and fix the dressing.
2. Open the bandage, make the first circle slightly obliquely, approximately 45 degrees; press the first circle out of an angle into the annular circle to surround the second circle.
3. Pressurize around the limbs 4-5 circles, each circle covers the previous circle, the bandage winding range should go beyond the edge of the auxiliary material.
4. Finally, reduce the excess of the bandage and fix it with adhesive tape. You can also cut the end of the bandage into two strips longitudinally from the center, and then tie the knot.

Spiral bandage
This method is mostly used for limbs and trunks of the same thickness.
Steps:
1. Cover the wound with a sterile or clean dressing and fix the dressing.
2. Wrap twice according to the ring method.
3. Starting from the third turn, winding each turn covers one-third or one-half of the front turn in a spiral shape.
