The operating room and the patient; a manual of pre- and post-operative treatment . fety pins and the vertical strips arepassed from behind forward between the thighs and fastenedanteriorly to the body of the bandage, thus securing it and pre-venting it from slipping up upon the abdomen. These strips arecalled perineal straps, and, instead of being originally part of thebandage, they may be pinned in place after the body of the band-age has been applied so as to permit of their easy removal shouldthey become soiled. The abdominal binder is made to conformmore snugly to the parts by pleating with safety pins on each Bandage (Fig. 95).—This is made by lengthening thebody of an ordinary triangular bandage sufficiently to allowthe body of the bandage to encircle the body twice. A three-inch roller is attached to the apex of the triangle, and this is usedas a spica of the groin after the triangle is applied. 116 OPERATIXG ROOM AXD THE PATIEXT The breast binder (Fig. 96) is made of two thicknesses of un-bleached musHn or of one thickness of canton flannel.
