Reversed Spiral Bandage.—When the part of the body to bebandaged increases rapidly in circumference, as in the case. Fig. 37.—The spiral reversed bandage. (Fowlers Surgery.) of the forearm or leg of a well-nourished person, it is foundimpracticable to use spiral turns, as they do not lie smoothly and,what is more important, do not exert even pressure. To over-come this, when a part of the limb is reached where the spiral BANDAGING 71 turn if continued would not lie smoothly, a reverse is madeso as to cause the turn to conform to the shape of the part(Fig. 37). In making these reverses it is well not to unroll muchof the bandage, but only six or eight inches of it. While theforefinger of the left hand presses on the previously applied turnand holds it in place, the head of the roller is turned toward theoperator in such a mannerthat the slack is turned orfolded obliquely on itself.
