ABSTRACT:
A support bandage for providing temporary support and at least partial immobilization of the ankle joint which comprises an "L"-shaped bandage, the entire underside of which is coated with adhesive of the type typically used for adhesive bandages. One segment of the "L" bandage is applied over the ankle joint and continuously across the underside of the arch of the foot, and up to the opposite side of the ankle joint. The other segment of the "L"-shaped support bandage is thereafter wrapped about the periphery of the ankle joint, securing the free end of the first-to-be-applied segment. The arrangement employs wide elongated strips of adhesive-backed tape which are fixedly arranged in a generally right angular relationship, one to the other in order to form the "L"-shaped arrangement. The utilization of a single wide strip provides for a more secure and uniform application of immobilizing force to the ankle area.
