The roller is then continued across the opposite aspect of the thorax, over the .shoulder and beneath the axilla of the sound side, and is carried back to the pad. Two or three of these turns are made, holding the bandage firmry in place. Fig. 15. Pesault—Second Roller. The second roller should be seven yards long and two and one-half inches wide. It is made up of spiral turns embracing the chest and the arm of the injured side, and overlapping downward from the point of the .shoulder to the olecranon. The upper turns are applied loosely; the lower are drawn as tight as is compatible with the comfort of the patient. The object of these turns is to force the shoulder outward by drawing the elbow close to the side, the axillary pad acting as a fulcrum ; each turn should overlap its predecessor for two-thirds of its width.
