How to Wrap an Ankle Sprain with an Elastic Bandage | Nursing Skill Tutorial

In this video I demonstrate how to wrap an ankle sprain with an elastic bandage. Wrapping a sprained ankle with an elastic bandage provides compression, stability and comfort when the proper ankle sprain bandage technique is used. Ankle sprains are a very common injury but can heal pretty quickly when the right ankle sprain treatment is performed. In this nursing skill tutorial, I walk you through how to wrap an ankle step by step and also review the RICE acronym which is rest, ice, compression and elevation. This should be explained to your patient before discharge.

There are many different brands of elastic bandage wraps, however ACE is the most widely known brand.
