How to Wrap an Elbow Joint with an Elastic Bandage | Nursing Skill Tutorial

In this video I demonstrate how to wrap an elbow joint with an elastic bandage. Elbow joints are commonly wrapped after an injury to aid in healing such as after a sprain or strain, for stability during repetitive movements, and also for chronic pain relief. Wrapping an elbow joint properly will provide support and compression to the joint and provide increased comfort during healing. In this nursing skill tutorial, I walk you through how to wrap an elbow step by step so that the elastic bandage will stay in place and provide the most benefit to you or your patient.

I never knew about the figure 8 wrap. It’s functional as well as looks great!

[@thesunnyedge]

Lol it is a nice weaved look 😁

[@ernesto8329]

Very helpful thankyou

[@raylong2215]

This helped me I was having trouble with overlap and gapping. The figure 8 took care of that. It was just a forearm wrap. Looks very neat and tidy esp if you have to work with Public. Less attention the less questions you get!

[@thesunnyedge]

I’m so happy to hear it helped! Speedy recovery! 💕

[@j.eanderson1262]

A dr rx'd a wrap for (hinge area i think) my elbow on a 3 month old fall injury wherein i hit a metal object. There is still pain & some inflammation/swelling. I am now considering slinging it to help fluid reabsorb faster. Thanks for sharing/caring💖🙏

[@beegs771]

Interesting figure 8 wrap. I've never done it that way before. Nice to see you back.

[@thesunnyedge]

Thank you! 💕 Hope you’re doing well!

Happy Thanksgiving to you! Hope you had a wonderful day!

[@jamesellis9332]

Hopefully the wrap works cause I don’t have time to rest and naproxen isn’t doing it for swelling

[@strongman469]

Hot nurse! I paid attention more with this video lol thanks for your tips I self-wrapped elbow and it worked. Love your blonde hair! 🔥

[@sukachannel996]

It is better to start with two stacked dressings, then continue to form a figure of eight, and end with two stacked dressings
