BASIC ANCHOR First few turns of the bandage Usually secured at the

smallest circumference of the part

Permanence of the application depends upon the security of the anchor


CIRCULAR TURNS A part is encircled with

each layer of bandage superimposed on the previous one.

Simplest of all the turns Its use is limited to

anchors and to parts of uniform width such as toe, neck and head.


SPIRAL TURNS Begin with a circular turn,

then proceed up the body part, with each turn covering two-thirds the width of the preceding turn.

Reversal of the bandage can be done by holding the thumb of the left hand at the point where the roller is to be turned.April 18, 2023 Us: MOEZ

Spiral reverse turns Begin with a circular

turn. Then the bandage is reversed, or twisted, once each turn to accommodate a limb that gets larger as the bandaging progresses.


Figure of 8 Turn Consists essentially of 2

spiral loops of bandage, one up and one down, crossing each other thus forming an 8.

used on a joint that requires movement.


Recurrent turns Are anchored with

circular turns and follow a back-and-forth motion, and are completed with circular turns; used to cover a fingertip, head, or amputated stump.


Binders Are bandages made for

specific body parts, usually the abdomen, perineal area, or arm (sling)

Abdominal binders:- support the abdomen and are used following abdominal surgery or childbirth.


Perineal binders, called T binders, are used to hold pads or dressings in the perineal area.

A sling: is a cloth support for an injured arm that wraps around the back of the neck to maintain the arm in a set position.
