Great simple, effective, clear and concise free wound dressing videos!
I did not know how to fan fold a dressing for head wound and/or foot wound.
I did not know I could use a 60 ml syringe contatiner to dress a finger wound and then give it to the pt full of more guage for their later use ~ genius!
Well I know now and am learning a ton of other useful wound care stuff.
Wanted to pass on the info.
