BASIC BANDAGING FORMS
1. Circular bandage
Apply the anchor wrap by laying the bandage end at an angle across the area to be
bandaged.
Bring the bandage under the area, back to the starting point and make a second turn.
Fold the uncovered triangle of the bandage end back over the second turn.
Cover the triangle with a third turn, completing the anchor. (fast forward)
the bandage is fastened at a point away from the injury. (fast forward)
Then secure the bandage. (ayaw na ipakita tong back part kay dba da miatod su lock
haha)
2. Spiral
Apply the anchor wrap as described in the previous method. (pwede paspasan lang
gamay ang video demo but not too fast. Insert na lang music pag hindi ako nagsasalita
haha)
Beginning with a circular turn, the bandage is inclined slightly upward and wound
spirally around the part, each turn overlapping the preceding turn one-half to 2/3 of its
width. (pwede paspasan pud gamay diri)
Then it can be finished by securing it with a circular turn.
3. Reverse spiral
Apply the anchor wrap as previously described in the circular method. (i-fast forward mo
dito ang video ka same lang siya sa circular tska gya so di ka lepi su triangle haha)
carry the bandage obliquely upward across the limb. Then the right hand is pronated so
the bandage is being turned over or reversed. The reversed is to be settled by a couple
of gentle pulls and the body of the roller passed around the limb and grasped by the
fingers of the left hand. The bandage is drawn as firmly as desired and brought up and
passed into the right hand. (pwede pud paspasan gamay if ever mahaba na)
Then finish it by securing with a circular turn.
4. Figure of 8 (elbow)
Place the tail end of the bandage on the inside of the arm just below the elbow joint.
Anchor the bandage by encircling the lower arm with two circular turns. (paspasi pud
ang video demo)
Next, bring the roll obliquely upward over the posterior aspect of the elbow.
Carry the roller bandage obliquely upward crossing the antecubital fossa then pass
once again completely around the upper arm then returned to the beginning position by
again crossing the antecubital fossa.
Apply a circular wrap above the joint then secure the end of the bandage.

5. Spica (shoulder)
Place the tail end of the bandage at the lateral aspect of the arm. Anchor the bandage
below the joint as previously prescribed. (pwede ni paspasan ang video demo)
Wrap the bandage across the joint and around the trunk of the body. (kani pud pwede
paspasan and demo video)
Return to and cross the previous wrap.

Wrap the bandage behind the limb, overlapping one-third of the anchor wrap.

Continue to wrap until the joint is sufficiently supported. Then secure the end of the
bandage.
