How to wrap an Ace Bandage with Velcro?

For Knee

1. Begin wrapping the ace band wrap around the leg at the mid-calf level and circle the leg a few times.
2. Wrap the bandage diagonally up behind the knee and then around the leg above the knee joint.
3. Continue wrapping behind the knee diagonally, creating a figure-eight.
4. Repeat these several times. Finish wrapping around the leg above the knee several times.
5. Secure the bandage by gently attaching the hook end, making sure it does not come off easily.

For Leg

Things to remember while using this elastic bandage wrap

• The Ace Bandage Wrap should be snug but not so tight that it prevents blood flow.
• If the bandage is wrapped around your foot or ankle, check your toes; if it’s wrapped around your wrist, check your fingers. The wrap is excessively tight and should be adjusted if it turns purplish or blue, is cool to the touch, or feels numb or tingly.
• Before going to bed, loosen the wrap.
• Protection is not provided by compression bandages. If your ankle is bandaged, for example, you’ll need a brace to protect it if you try to put weight on it.
• Between uses, keep the ace bandage clean. Hand-wash it in warm, soapy water. Then rinse it and air dry it.
