HEMORRHAGE. 187 wide and three long, to keep the knot from bruisingthe flesh when the handkerchief is tightened (). The handkerchief should be loosely tied in the. Fig. 50.—Direct compression of a wound by means of what surgeons calla graduated compress, made of pads of cloth, folded in different sizes,with the largest one on first place, so as to allow a stick or rod to be in-troduced between it and the skin for the purposeof twisting it. The stick or lever should be placedat some distance from the compressing knot, and itis better to put it on the outside of the limb, wherenothing will interfere with the twisting. The stickis now to be twisted round and round, making thehandkerchief tighter and tighter and the knot pressdown deeper and deeper, until finally the artery willbe compressed between the knot and the bone, andthe haemorrhage will cease. This method of com-pression is effectual and easy of application, but ofcourse is only temporary, for such complete encir-cling of a limb and entire stoppage of the circula-tion produces gangrene if too long continued. 242.
