An elastic or firm bandage is wound firmly around the limb in overlapping turns, starting at the fingers or toes of the affected limb and continuing as far up the limb as possible to apply<unk> . The<unk>  of the bandage should be firm enough that the first aider’s finger cannot slide underneath, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation to the hand/foot. This can be tested by lightly pinching or pressing a toe or finger until it blanches white, then when the press/pinch is stopped, pinkness should return within seconds (note- this is only an effective test on light shades of skin). Some swelling of the hand/foot is expected. The limb is then immobilised by prompting the casualty not to move, or where possible by applying a splint or sling. The location of the bite is then marked on the outside of the bandage where possible.
