BANDAGES OF THE HEAD. 49 niuni from the forehead to tin. occiput, and when theroller reaches the occipital protuberance it is allowed todrop a little below this, and is carried forward belowthe ear around the front of the chin and lower lip, thenbackward to the point of starting. These turns passingfrom the occiput to the forehead and from the occiput tothe chin are alternately made until a sufficient numberhave been applied, and the extremity is secured by a pinover the occiput (Fig. 44). This bandage may be modified by carrying the turnsfrom the occiput forward under the ear and around theupper lip and back to the occiput, and alternating theseturns with the occipito-frontal turns; if employed in thisway, a bandage of one and one-half inches in width shouldbe used. Use.—This bandage may be employed to hold dressingsto the front of the chin, to the upper and lower lips incases of wounds, or to give support to these parts afterplastic operations. Y\a. 44. Fig.
