A medical bandage that is found in medical buildings and is used to treat injuries that break the skin and cause bleeding.
== Usage ==
===Basic usage===
A bandage is primarily used to stop the player from [[Moodles#Bleeding|bleeding]] by applying it to the wound. It can be used if the wound is a scratch, bite, gunshot, stitch, glass, bleeding, deep, infected or burn and will stop bleeding entirely. After some time, depending on the wound, the bandage will become a '''dirty bandage''', which once removed will grant the player some [[First Aid|first aid]] experience.  


Bandages and [[Ripped Sheets]] are both interchangeable when bandaging wounds. However [[Ripped Sheets]] have only half the bandaging power that Medical Bandages utilise and therefore do not last as long.
===Infection===
If a bleeding wound is left untreated, the player will continue to lose [[health]] until they eventually [[Moodles#Dead|die]]. Leaving a wound untreated can also lead to it becoming infected depending on the player's [[clothing]], the type of wound and whether a dirty bandage is left on. A dirty bandage can be left on a wound to stop the bleeding, however this will give the wound the highest possible chance of becoming infected, therefore is not advised. Instead, once a bandage becomes dirty, it should be removed and replaced by a clean bandage.


If a wound is left untreated, the player will slowly lose health and will eventually die of blood loss. Open wounds also have a good chance of becoming infected. Bandaging a wound stops bleeding completely, the player will start regaining health, and the chance of an infection is reduced. Bandages eventually become dirty when left on, and a dirty bandage has a higher chance of becoming infected than a clean bandage so it is in the player's best interest to remove the dirty bandage and reapply a clean one. You can disinfect a bandage prior to putting it on by soaking it in disinfectant or alcohol, which further reduces the chances of the wound becoming infected.
An infected wound can be treated by applying a '''sterilized bandage''' to the wound. It is best used prior to the wound getting infected however, this is due to it stopping the possibility of infection entirely. Sterilized bandages have the same rate of becoming dirty as regular bandages.


== Clean vs Dirty Bandage ==
===Types of wounds===
After a certain amount of time, a bandage will become a dirty bandage and will lose its prevention to infection, and in turn will increase the chance of infection over a regular bandage, and will need to be replaced.
In most cases, applying a bandage, whether it be sterilized or not, increases the rate of healing. The only exception to this rule is when applied to a stitch, which will actually decrease the healing rate, therefore taking longer to heal. On top of this, using a non-sterilized bandage can cause infection to occur.

Dirty bandages can be cleaned with water, returning them to a regular bandage.


Bandages can be washed with water once dirty to return them to a clean state.
A bandage can be disinfected by either soaking it in [[whiskey]] or [[Bottle of Disinfectant|disinfectant]], or boil a [[Cooking Pot of Water|pot of water]] and adding a bandage to it, which will also clean a dirty bandage.

Usage

Basic usage

A bandage is primarily used to stop the player from bleeding by applying it to the wound. It can be used if the wound is a scratch, bite, gunshot, stitch, glass, bleeding, deep, infected or burn and will stop bleeding entirely. After some time, depending on the wound, the bandage will become a dirty bandage, which once removed will grant the player some first aid experience.

Infection

If a bleeding wound is left untreated, the player will continue to lose health until they eventually die. Leaving a wound untreated can also lead to it becoming infected depending on the player's clothing, the type of wound and whether a dirty bandage is left on. A dirty bandage can be left on a wound to stop the bleeding, however this will give the wound the highest possible chance of becoming infected, therefore is not advised. Instead, once a bandage becomes dirty, it should be removed and replaced by a clean bandage.

An infected wound can be treated by applying a sterilized bandage to the wound. It is best used prior to the wound getting infected however, this is due to it stopping the possibility of infection entirely. Sterilized bandages have the same rate of becoming dirty as regular bandages.

Types of wounds

In most cases, applying a bandage, whether it be sterilized or not, increases the rate of healing. The only exception to this rule is when applied to a stitch, which will actually decrease the healing rate, therefore taking longer to heal. On top of this, using a non-sterilized bandage can cause infection to occur.

Crafting

Dirty bandages can be cleaned with water, returning them to a regular bandage.

A bandage can be disinfected by either soaking it in whiskey or disinfectant, or boil a pot of water and adding a bandage to it, which will also clean a dirty bandage.
