Bandage made from Varolast zinc Alternative bandaging technique
paste bandages to increase the durability of the
bandage on the foot.
An opposing bandaging tech-
nique is not necessary for any of
the zinc paste bandages because
the fixation by the zinc paste
mass provides the necessary
strength and permanency of the
bandage. 1 2 1 2
For bandages made from the
two-way-elastic Varolast zinc
paste bandage, in contrast to
conventional zinc paste bandages
continuous bandaging is possible.
Cutting of bandages to shape is
unnecessary. The two-dimensional
stretch of the Varolast is only
present during application.

The zinc paste bandage begins in the same manner as described on
the previous pages from inside to outside (1).
After the corresponding turns around the midfoot, the bandage should
be reinforced by repeating the turns around the heel (2) because a
second bandage is not applied in the opposite direction.
The bandage is then taken around the lower leg as for the low-stretch
bandages already described (3).

Finally, the Varolast zinc paste bandage is covered with a Stülpa tubu-
lar bandage for protection (4).
This technique begins with a circular fixation turn on the ankle
running from inside to outside, then the bandage is taken across the
inside of the heel to the hollow of the foot (1).
It encloses the midfoot (2), runs across the instep to the Achilles ten-
don (3) and over the lateral malleolus like the one to the sole of the
foot (4). After lifting the arch of the foot, the bandage rolls, if a cross-
wise bandage is to be applied, in steep turns upwards. If a zinc paste
bandage is applied using only one bandage, however, the additional
heel and fixation turns described on page 74 are to be executed in the
ankle region (5).
All further turns are executed as described on page 74 and 75 (6).
