Composition.—A piece of linen from two to three feet long, corre-sponding in breadth with the length of the wound, and divided at oneextremity into two or more slits, each about an inch wide and six inchesor more in length, to correspond with the same number of fenestras madein a second piece of linen of the same dimensions as the first; two rollers,each six yards long and two and a half inches wide; together with twograduated compresses. Application.—The limb having been placed in a position most favour-able for relaxing the divided muscles, the surgeon makes a few turns ofone roller, 6, around the limb below the wound, and upon these lays thefenestrated bandage, so that the divided portion stretches upon and across the incision, while the other partFig- 20. rests upon the limb below the wound.
