Cravat Bandage for Head.-This bandage is useful to control bleeding from wounds of the scalp or forehead. After placing a compress over the wound, place the center of the cravat over the compress and carry the ends around to the opposite side; cross them, continue to carry them around to the starting point, and tie in a square knot.

Cravat Bandage for Eye.-After applying a compress to the affected eye, place the center of the cravat over the compress and on a slant so that the lower end is inclined downward. Bring the lower end around under the ear on the opposite side. Cross the ends in back of the head, bring them forward, and tie them over the compress. Figure 3-19 shows the proper application of a cravat bandage for the eye.

Cravat Bandage for Temple, Cheek, or Ear.-After a compress is applied to the wound, place the center of the cravat over it and hold one end over the top of the head. Carry the other end under the jaw and up the opposite side, over the top of the head, and cross the two ends at right angles over the temple on the injured side. Continue one end around over the forehead and the other around the back of the head to meet over the temple on the uninjured side. Tie the ends in a square knot. (This bandage is also called a Modified Barton.) Figure 3-20 shows the proper application of a cravat bandage for the temple, cheek, or ear.
