2. Cut the bandage to twice the length equired for the limb. Allow an extra 2-3 cm for overlap.
3. Apply the bandage like a stocking (with the use of correct sized applicator if necessary).
4. Double the bandage back over the limb/ Ensure the upper edge is taken 2-3 cm higher up the limb than the first.
