Apply from the base of the toes to the knee, over PROFORE◊ #1, using a simple spiral technique and 50% overlap.  Use tape to secure.

Step 5

PROFORE◊ #3 light compression bandage
Apply from the base of the toes to the knee, using a figure of eight technique at 50% extension.  Use the central yellow line as guidance for 50% overlap.  Use tape to secure.

Step 6

PROFORE◊ #4 flexible cohesive bandage
