ABSTRACT
This compressive layer (Panel A ) is applied in a fi gure-of-eight pattern, which tends to prevent slippage. The close-up (Panel B ) clearly shows that the bandage has been applied by wrapping in a downward and upward motion consecutively. In some types of bandages, such as this one, lines are present over the material in order to stretch it in a consistent way and to achieve a consistent amount of compression.
