UNNA BOOT

[jmn126]

i hope someone can clear this up: the application of an unna boot...i had been taught to start at the toes, encompass the heel and end about 1" below the knee, same with the kerllix and the coban........now along comes a new nurse and she says,,,,wrap the unna boot toes to knee, figure 8 at the ankle to the knee then go back down, and back up using the entire 10yrds of unna boot....................please someone HELP!!

I was taught from the toes to the knee, cover the heel. Spiral wrap with 50% overlap and use the whole thing.
