Figure B.1:
Robert Jones bandage technique. (a) Two strips of adhesive tape should be placed on the distal limb and stuck to a wooden tongue depressor. (b) Following the application of padding material and conforming gauze, the adhesive strips should be separated and rotated through 180 degrees before being applied to the bandage. (c) The toes should remain exposed. (d) An outer protective bandage material should be applied. Note the padding material extends more proximally than the outer cohesive layer. © 2024 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
