When to Apply Compression. The main purpose of an Ace Bandage is to compress an injured area in order to limit blood flow, which will, in turn, limit swelling and promote healing. When you incur an injury, such as a sprained ankle or wrist, first apply ice to the affected area.
These directions may be used to wrap the bandage around your hand, wrist, elbow, or knee. 1  Hold the rolled bandage with one hand and with the other hand put the loose end on top of the foot. 2  While holding the loose end, wrap the bandage twice around the foot. Be sure to overlap the ace wrap. After the foot has been wrapped twice, move your hand to the heel. Wrap the bandage moving toward the ankle. The bandage should be wrapped in a spiral way like making a figure 8. Leave the heel uncovered. Cross the bandage over the foot, moving upward, and pass it behind the ankle. Move the bandage down and cross it over the top of the foot. Wrap the bandage under the foot to complete the 8 figure.
