Quick Overview
A common combination for a securing dressing that applies a small amount of compression and secures the dressing. You first wrap the leg in the cotton bandage with a 50% overlap and then you apply the crepe bandage with the same 50% overlap making sure to complete the heal lock so that it doesn’t fall apart later on.
