ot everyone remembers to wear loose-fitting pants to a
foot surgery. How can you get those pants up over a
bulky foot bandage or pins without disturbing them?
Here's a quick fix. Pull a clean bag over the foot and you'll be able
to slide those pants on with ease. You could use the bag from the
patient's new surgical shoe.
