The very vulnerability of the preterm infant is an important factor in eliciting protective and providing impulses from men. These babiesâ needs are so apparent that fathers, even though they are likely to be anxious and confused, can feel drawn to protect them even more than healthy newborns.
A triangular bandage is a large triangle of cloth, usually a loose-weave cotton cloth, used in first aid. It is also called a âcravatâ (French for necktie) because it is sometimes folded to the shape of a long narrow band, for certain uses. This type of bandage has many applications:
Once the arm is in place, bring the other triangle end up behind the neck. Tie both ends together at the end of the shoulder, creating a knot at the side of the patient's neck. When used for knee, foot, or head injuries, a triangular bandage should only be used as a dressing covering. These injuries are typically too severe for this type of bandage alone. Instead, they normally require more invasive bindings, such as casts.
