Kefer's bandage for outpatient treatment chronic leg ulcers

The limb is thoroughly washed, dried and wiped with alcohol (vodka or cologne). The nails are trimmed neatly. The leg is raised at an angle of 35-40 ° for 30 minutes to reduce swelling. Cotton pads are inserted into the interdigital spaces. Having dipped an ordinary paint brush in a warm composition of zinc-gelatin, they cover the skin of the foot and lower leg from the toes to the tubercle of the tibia with an even layer. Then proceed to the imposition of a bandage 6-8 cm wide with moderate tension without any folds, covering the previous move with the next half. When the bandage does not go in a spiral, it is cut with scissors, and thus they continue to consistently and evenly cover the limb with bandage moves to the intended place. The second and third layers of zinc-gelatin and bandages are also applied. When applied, the dressing should look like a well-fitted stocking. The bandage is applied for 3-4 weeks.
