How to Wrap a Broken Hand
- 1). Identify the broken area of your hand. It will typically be the fingers, the knuckles, the palm bones or the Metacarpals. If any bleeding is present, clean the wound with clean water or with an antiseptic cleaning agent and stop the bleeding before attempting to immobilize the hand.
- 2). Place a splint in line with the broken bone or the broken area of the hand. For example, a finger splint should mimic the affected finger in a straightened position.
- 3). Hold the end of an ace bandage onto the splint and wrap around the hand and splint loosely, several times, until you've used all of the bandage. Alternate the wrap position to even the wrap over the surface of the hand. The bandage should be tight, but should not constrict the hand at all, so as to compensate for any swelling.
