Common bandaging methods

Common bandaging methods; A, Circular turns are wrapped around a body part several times to anchor the bandage or supply support. B, Spiral turns begin with a circular turn and then proceed up the body part, with each turn covering two-thirds the width of the preceding turn. C, Spiral reverse turns begin with a circular turn. The bandage is then reversed or twisted, once each turn, to accommodate a limb that gets larger as the bandaging progresses. D, Figure-eight turns crisscross in the shape of a figure eight and are used on a joint that requires movement. E, Recurrent turns are anchored with circular turns, follow a back-and-forth motion, and are completed with circular turns; they are used to cover a fingertip, head, or residual limb.
