A St John Ambulance trainer demonstrates how to bandage a hand. Make sure the bandage extends far beyond the injury site to ensure an even pressure is applied to the wound. Once the hand has been bandaged, you need to squeeze the fingernail to test circulation, and loosen the bandage if it is too tight.
