    • Cut the bandage strip to length.

    • You need twice the length you want the bandage to cover. A 5 to 6 cm strip is usually enough for most small cuts.

    • Now, carefully cut a small triangle out of the bandage on both adhesive sides, up to the gauze pad. Cut the triangles out exactly in the middle. This will create four "little wings", as seen in the second picture.

    • Fold up the two remaining "little wings" one by one and secure them on the underside of the finger.

Conclusion

If you have chosen the correct size of bandage, placed it properly, and pressed it firmly, it should now cover the entire fingertip. The wound should not come into contact with the adhesive surfaces.
