What happens if the bandage gets wet?
top If the bandage gets wet or dirty it MUST be changed immediately as it could cause serious damage if not managed appropriately. Bandages swell internally rather than externally and can cause a drop in the blood supply to the lower limb if allowed to remain wet and swollen. Bandages can cause the loss of toes or limbs if they are not managed appropriately and changed when soiled or wet.
