What are all the first aid items needed for strains and sprains?

by admin
Filed under: sprains 

Materials from a typical first aid kit would be quite helpful…

1 A splint from a drug store, but you can use anything rigid, even a thick magazine.
2 Ace (compression) wraps, 3" and 4" ones are best
3 Ice packs
4 tape (athletic, surgical, stretch)

    2. Something the splint the body part with, like a stick, and something to help wrap and secure the body part. Or, you can use a small blanket folded up instead of the stick and wrap it around the body part and then secure it with some kind of wrap until you can get to a doctor or drug store to get a real splint.
