Figure 6-2. To tie a bandage, begin by placing the end of the bandage on the dressing at a 45-degree angle (A). Wrap
the bandage one full turn, and then fold the angled end of the bandage up, creating a “dog ear” (B). Continue wrapping
the bandage, overlaying the “dog ear” to anchor it and moving upward (C). Once the dressing is covered, roll out the
remaining length of bandage (D). While holding the bandage, use the index finger of the other hand to split the bandage
in half, moving it down and underneath the limb (E). Bring the two ends of the bandage up and tie them in a bow or
knot (F).
