T's leg has this one incision down the front-- this is the one you can see in the picture. And one incision down the back. The bandage keeps bugs & dirt out and keeps him from opening up the wound.Here's what I do:

• Unwrap his bandage and gently brush off any dirt or shavings.

• Put STERILE gauze pads over the wound.

• Put cotton sheeting over the top  the gauze.

• Wrap  with a standing bandage (a 5-inch non-stretchy bandage about 6 feet long). (This is HARD to do with only two hands.) right up to the knee joint, but not on it.

• Cotton sheeting sticks out the bottom and top about a 1/2 inch.

• Secure with with a bandage pin.

• Wrapp duct tape once around. (T gets bored & think unwrapping is a good hobby.)

• Check pressure of wrap by putting a finger between the wrap and his leg.

• Give him a pat and kiss it to make it feel better. (Not really. Just Kidding.)
