Apparatus.—1. A roller 2 inches wide, and of the usual length.
2. Some pins.
A turn is first carried round the head, over the brows and below the occipital protuberance, and fastened by a pin; this being done, the roller is carried across the dressing, and getting into the line of the first turn, is passed round the head again, then across the dressing, and round the head by horizontal and oblique turns alternately, the former to fix the latter, and prevent their slipping off the dressing (see fig. 2). In the figure the oblique turns have been doubled, and would fix dressings on each side of the head.
Fig. 2.—Bandage for retaining dressings in position, showing two sets of oblique turns.

2. Some lint.
3. A piece of a wine cork one-third of an inch thick.
