How to Wrap a Foot Ace Bandage

    • 1). Start at the top of the foot. Keep the foot Ace bandage rolled with the loose end at the top center of the foot.

    • 2). Begin to wrap the Ace bandage around the base of the foot. Repeat this twice and allow the foot Ace bandage to overlap between the two layers.

    • 3). Continue to wrap the Ace bandage over the ankle area. Wrap toward the ankle by forming a figure-eight shape. While wrapping with the foot bandage, leave the heel uncovered.

    • 4). Go behind the ankle using an upward motion. Once you have gone behind the ankle, move the bandage to move over across the top of your foot. Take one more pass underneath the foot to finish wrapping the Ace bandage.

    • 5). Fasten the foot bandage using the enclosed metal clips or with surgical tape. Newer versions also are self adhesive and do not require extra enclosures. Be careful not to wrap or fasten the foot bandage too tightly or you can reduce blood flow to the injured area.
