How do you strap a broken toe?

Materials Needed:

- Medical Tape

- Gauze

- Scissors

Step 1: Clean the Toe

- Gently clean the broken toe with soap and water.

- Pat dry with a clean towel.

Step 2: Wrap Gauze Around the Toe

- Apply gauze to the broken toe, ensuring you wrap it firmly but not too tightly.

- Leave the broken toenail exposed.

Step 3: Secure the Gauze with Medical Tape

- Cut small strips of medical tape.

- Wrap the medical tape around the toe over the gauze, crossing the tape over itself as you go to create an "X" shape.

- Ensure that you only apply the tape to the skin and not the broken toenail.

Step 4: Reinforce the Dressing

- Continue to wrap the toe with additional strips of medical tape until you have created a secure dressing that covers the entire broken toe.

Step 5: Leave the Dressing in Place

- Leave the dressing in place until the broken toe has healed or as directed by a medical professional.
