THE ROLLER BANDAGE 101 Figure-of-eight of the Heel. 1 his bandage begins with acircular turn directly around the heel and instep. The nextturn coincides with the first at the instep but overlaps slightlybelow the heel. This is followed by another turn whicrh over-laps slightly above the heel, thus forming a turns are repeated until the entire heel is bandage may be completed by circular turns about thefoot or ankle, as required, or it may be continued up the Fig. 58.—Recurrent bandage. (Wharton.) Recurrent Bandage of the Toes.—The toes are seldom ban-daged separately as are the fingers. After the dressing isapplied, the bandage is started on the upper surface of thefoot and held in place by the fingers of the left hand. Itpasses directly downward over the toes and onto the soleof the foot. About two inches from the toes it is held by theleft thumb and turned directly backward over the toes tothe upper surface of the foot, This process is repeated untilthe toes are all covered and the ends of the recurrent stripsare held in place by a few circular turns about the foot. Recurrent Bandage of the Slump.—An amputation stumpmay require bandaging. This is accomplished in exactly thesame manner as the recurrent bandage of the toes.
