AeroBand Non-Woven Triangular Bandage 110 x 110 x 155cm
The triangular bandage is the most versatile item in a first aid kit. Open, it makes an arm sling for an injured collarbone, wrist or forearm. Folded broad, it holds a splint against a limb or supports the chest; folded narrow, it becomes a tie for a pad or a collar-and-cuff support. The AeroBand non-woven bandage is soft, easy to fold and tie, and disposable, so it suits kits where hygiene and quick restocking matter more than laundering a calico bandage.
It is cut to the full 110cm x 110cm x 155cm size, large enough to sling an adult arm with the elbow supported and adjustable for children by folding.
Sold as a single bandage so kits can be topped up one at a time. Choose the cotton calico triangular bandage when you want a washable, reusable sling for training.
Features
- Full adult size: 110cm x 110cm x 155cm slings an adult arm and folds down for children.
- Soft non-woven fabric: comfortable against skin and easy to fold and knot.
- Size adjustable: fold broad or narrow to suit the injury and the casualty.
- Single use, disposable: no washing; discard after use and restock.
- Many uses: arm sling, elevation sling, splint tie, pad retention, chest support.
- Plain white: makes it easy to see blood or moisture strike-through.
How to use
- Support the injured arm across the chest with the hand slightly higher than the elbow.
- Slide the bandage between the arm and the chest, with the point at the elbow and the top end over the shoulder on the uninjured side.
- Bring the lower end up over the forearm to the shoulder on the injured side.
- Tie the two ends in a reef knot at the hollow above the collarbone, not on the spine, and secure the point at the elbow with a safety pin or a twist.
- Check that the fingers stay warm and pink and that the casualty is comfortable.
Move a possibly fractured limb as little as possible while applying the sling, and seek medical attention. Single use: discard after use. Always follow the directions for use.

FAQs
How do you make an arm sling with a triangular bandage? Support the arm across the chest, slide the bandage behind it with the point at the elbow, bring the lower end up over the arm and tie both ends above the collarbone. The steps are under How to use.
What else can a triangular bandage be used for? Folded into a broad or narrow bandage it can secure a splint, hold a bulky dressing or pad in place, or support the chest. Open, it can cover a scalp or foot wound dressing.
Non-woven or calico: which should I buy? Non-woven is disposable and hygienic for workplace and vehicle kits. Calico is cotton and washable, which suits training and reuse.
Do triangular bandages expire? This non-woven bandage is not sterile and has no stated expiry, but replace any that are soiled, damp or damaged at kit checks.
Should a sling be used for a suspected fracture? A sling supports and immobilises the arm while the casualty gets medical care. Move the arm as little as possible and follow your first aid training.
