FIRST AID Advice - Arm Injury - How to Put on a Sling

To put on a sling you first need to have a triangle-shaped bandage. Many first aid kits have a triangle bandage.

  • Find the two ends of the triangle that are farthest apart. These are the ends that you will tie around the neck.
  • Lay the arm down the middle of the triangle.
  • Take the two ends of the triangle that are farthest apart and tie them behind the neck (a square knot is best, but any knot will do).
  • Make sure the wrist is at a level higher than the heart.
