Wide Bandage
Apply the middle of this to the sole of the patient’s foot, bring the two ends up and cross the bandage firmly over the instep (or top of foot). Bring the ends round the ankle tightly, cross at the back, bring up round again and tie in a square or reef knot. This bandage is useless unless applied very firmly. A good way of insuring its getting tighter instead of looser, after it is applied is to wet the bandage: it will then shrink in drying and tighten the pressure evenly all over.
