Step 1 : Clip the lever on the compressive bandage, while holding pressure on the victim's wound (if they are conscious they can apply presure themself) |
Step 2 : Do a single turn around the victim's limb and slide the lever over the wound. |
Step 3 : Do another turn around the limb and pass through the normal lever passage. |
Step 4 : You can do an additional turn, and then you have to start widing the other way around the limb to flip the lever back to generate pressure. |
Step 5 : Keep widing around the limb to firmly hold the lever into place. |
Step 6 : Once you hve finished you can simply fix the end of the bandage into a tight part of the bandage to hold it in place. |
