How to Wrap a Knee with an ACE Bandage?

Start with the knee slightly bent and the leg relaxed

Hold the ACE bandage with the loose end on the inside of the knee

Begin wrapping below the knee, about 2 to 3 inches under the kneecap

Wrap upward in a diagonal spiral around the knee

Overlap each layer by about half the width of the bandage

Keep the wrap snug but not tight

Cover the kneecap area evenly

Continue wrapping above the knee, about 2 to 3 inches past the kneecap

Secure the end with the bandage clips or fasteners

Check for numbness, tingling, swelling, or color change in the foot

Loosen and rewrap if the bandage feels too tight

Remove the wrap if pain increases or circulation seems affected
