Applying VISCOPASTE PB7
This product is ready for use upon removal from the sealed pouch and wrapper.
There are two ways that the bandage can be applied:
Method 1
Beginning at the base of the toes, the bandage should be loosely wrapped around the foot, heel and around the leg in a spiral fashion to just below the knee. Once applied, the bandage should then be smoothed and molded around the leg.
Method 2
Beginning at the base of the toes, the bandage should be loosely wrapped around the foot and heel and then, whilst wrapping from the ankle, apply a pleat, at the front of the leg. This should be repeated up the leg until just below the knee. Compression bandaging may follow. Once VISCOPASTE PB7 has been applied, the leg should be covered by a bandage or dressing to prevent soiling of clothes and bedcovers.
