i) Individually wrapped clean dressings: You cut one piece each of following sizes using the thin cloth:

Fold each of them such that the edges are inside and wrap them in clean news papers.

ii) Clean cotton pads in separate packets: You are advised to cut one piece each of clean cotton pads of thickness 112" and sizes 1 "xl", 6"x4" and 6"x6". Cover each from top and below with thin cloth of same size and wrap each with a portion of news paper sheet.

iii) Bandage rolls: Using thin cloth, cut one piece each of sizes 3'x1", 3'x2%" and 3'x3%" and 3'x5" and roll each of them separately.

iv) Padded spoon: A stainlesss steel spoon is to be covered with a clean cotton pad of thickness 112" and size 1 "xl" prepared in (ii) above.

B) Swab sticks: Wash three sticks taken from a fresh broom. Cut them into 6" size. Cover each of them with a bud of cotton.
