3-15. Knee Bandage
To apply a cravat bandage to the knee as illustrated in Figure 3-39, use the
same technique applied in bandaging the elbow.
CAUTION
If a fracture of the kneecap is suspected, DO NOT bend the
knee; bandage it in the position found.
Figure 3-39. Cravat bandage applied to knee (Illustrated A—C).
3-16. Foot Bandage
To apply a triangular bandage to the foot—
a. Place the foot in the middle of the triangular bandage with the
heel well forward of the base (Figure 3-40A). Ensure that the toes are
separated by absorbent material to prevent chafing and irritation of the skin.
b. Place the apex over the top of the foot and tuck any excess
material into the pleats on each side of the foot (Figure 3-40B).
c. Cross the ends on top of the foot, take them around the ankle,
and tie them at the front of the ankle (Figure 3-40C—E).
