+Spiral Bandage of the Great Toe.+ In applying this bandage, the initial
extremity of the roller is secured by two or three turns around the
ankle and the bandage is carried obliquely across the dorsum of the
foot to the base of the toe to be covered, and next to its tip, by
oblique turns; a circular turn is then made and the toe is covered by
ascending spiral or spiral reverse turns until its base is reached,
from which point the bandage is carried obliquely across the dorsum of
the foot and finished by one or two circular turns around the ankle.
The end of the bandage may be secured by a pin or may be split into
two tails and secured by tying.
+Spica Bandage of Great Toe.+ This bandage is applied by placing the
initial extremity of the roller upon the ankle and fixing it by two
circular turns; the roller is then carried obliquely over the dorsal
surface of the foot to the distal extremity of the great toe; a
circular turn is next made and the bandage is carried upward over the
back of the great toe to the ankle, around which a circular turn
should be made; ascending figure of eight turns are then made around
the great toe and the ankle, each turn overlapping the previous one,
two-thirds, and each figure of eight turn alternating with a circular
turn around the ankle. These turns are repeated until the great toe is
completely covered with spica turns and the bandage is completed by
circular turns around the ankle.
+French Bandage of the Foot.+ In applying this bandage the initial
extremity of the roller should be fixed on the leg just above the
ankle and secured by two circular turns around the leg; the bandage
should be carried obliquely across the dorsum of the foot, to the
metatarsophalangeal articulation, at which point a circular turn
should be made around the foot; the roller should then be carried up
to the foot, covering it with two or three spiral reverse turns; after
this a figure of eight turn should be made around the ankle and
instep; this should be repeated once to cover the foot, with the
exception of the heel, and the bandage continued up the leg with
spiral reverse turns.
