Повязка Дезо - Desault`s bandage

Desault`s bandage Once the placement of cotton roll in the axilla, bandage starts with a couple of circular tours around the chest (direction of bandaging depends on injured side). These tours fix the injured hand to the trunk. Then head of the gauze passes obliquely to the shoulder girdle of injured hand, descends to the forearm and hang the hand (near the wrist) to the contralateral axilla. Then, across the patient`s back the gauze passes again to the injured shoulder girdle, descends forward to the injured forearm (near the elbow) and goes behind to the next round fixing tour. This sequence of motions repeats several times.
