The roller should next be carried obliquely down tothe end of the stump, and a circular turn should be made Fig. Recurrent bandage of a stump. around this. The bandage should then be carried up thelimb by spiral or spiral reversed turns beyond the point atwhich the recurrent turns terminated, and secured by oneor two circular turns (Fig. 87). In applying this bandage to very short stumps result-ing from amputations at or near the shoulder- or hip-joint,after making the recurrent and spiral turns, it will befound necessary to carry the bandage, in the case of am-putations of the shoulder, across the chest to the oppositeaxilla and back, and apply several of these turns; so incase of hip amputations it will be found best to finish thebandage with a few turns about the pelvis. 86 BANDAGING. Bandage for Securing the Hands and Feet in theLithotomy Position.—The hand of the patient should bebrought down and made to grasp the outer side of thefoot; the initial extremity of the roller is fixed by twocircular turns around the wrist and ankle, and the bandageis then passed around the foot and hand, and
