How To Bandage The Below-Knee Stump

	Make one or two turns to cover front, end, and back of stump as shown in illustration. Pull bandage upward so that it presses firmly against end of stump.
Anchor loosely at top with one or two circular turns and continue downward, still loosely, to end of stump.
	Wrap with spiral turns from end of stump upward. Be sure to make bandage more snug at end of stump than at any point above.
	The bandage may be continued above the knee to prevent slipping, but often this is not necessary.
Anchor bandage loosely, making another turn below knee.
	Fasten bandage.
