BANDAGES OF THE UPPER EXTREMITY. 67 Third Roller of Desaults Bandage.—The initial extremityof the roller is placed in the axilla of the sound side, andthe bandage is carried obliquely over the front of the chestto the shoulder of the injured side, passed over this, andconducted down the back of the arm to the elbow, thenceobliquely upward over the upper fifth of the forearm tothe axilla of the sound side. From this point it is carriedbackward obliquely over the back of the chest to the shoul-der ; crossing the previous shoulder-turn, it is conducteddown the front of the arm to the elbow, then around thisand backward obliquely over the back of the chest to the Fig. Third roller of Desaults band axilla of the sound side. These turns are repeated untilthree sets of turns have been applied, which should overlieeach other exactly (Fig. 65). The course of the turns ofthe third roller is considered the most difficult to remem-ber, and the student may be assisted in its correct applica-tion by remembering that all the turns start at the axilla,pass to the shoulder, and then to the elbow, and from theelbow always return to the starting-point—the turns of the third roller make two triangles, one onthe anterior surface of the chest (Fig. 6Q), the other uponthe back (Fig. 67). After the application of the three rollers the hand and 68 BAXDAGISG. uncovered portion of the forearm should be supported ina sling suspended from the neck. Use.—This bandage, applied completely, or some one ofits various rollers, is employed in the treatment of fracturesof the clavicle.
