Second Roller of Desaults Bandage.—The arm should bebrought down against the side so as to press upon the padpreviously applied, and the forearm should be flexed uponthe arm and brought across the lower portion of the chest. Fig. Second roller of Desaults bandage. The initial extremity of the roller is placed in the axillaof the sound side, and the bandage is carried around thechest and over the arm of the injured side, making a cir-cular turn around the chest to fix it; then spiral turns aremade around the chest from above downward until theelbow is reached, the turns being more firmly applied asthey descend, and when this point is reached the end ofthe bandage is secured. Or the initial extremity of thebandage may be placed upon the chest of the sound sideand a circular turn may be made to fix it, and then spiralturns, including the chest and arm, may be made frombelow upward until the axilla is reached (Fig. 64).
