Application instructions
Use a circular bandaging technique. The bandaging method described below involves winding around the leg.
- Select the correct bandage width, based on the diameter of the leg which is to be bandaged.
- The foot should generally be kept at a 90° angle with respect to the leg.
- When bandaging, the roll should be kept as close to the leg as possible.
- Start with the bandage in the middle of the sole of the foot, just covering the big toe joint (fig. 1).
- Wind it once around the middle of the heel and then around the lower part of the heel, followed by the upper part of the heel (fig. 2 to 4).
- Wind the bandage upwards around the calf until just below the knee and fix at this point with a Kliniplast surgical tape fixing plaster (fig. 5 to 8).
