Slide all of the measured tubular bandage onto the outside of the cage and slip the cage over the finger or toe, pull off one end of the bandage at the bottom of the knuckle and slide the cage towards the tip while releasing the bandage slowly, get to the end, twist around and double back on yourself to finish where you started.
