(B) 



1. Place one large sheet of zorbik with 15-inch (38.1 cm.) side parallel 



to edge of table. Place in center of this two face-pieces with 

 9-inch (22.9 cm.) side parallel to edge of table. If the zorbik 

 is of poor quality two large sheets may be necessary. 



2. Place wooden frame in center of zorbik with 6l4:-iiich (15.9cm.) side 



parallel to edge of table. Frame should measure 6I/4 ^ IOI4 ^ V2 

 inches (15.9x26.7x1.27 cm.), inside measurements. Place 

 sphagnum in frame filling it evenly but not packed. 



3. Cover sphagnum with thin layer of non-absorbent cotton. Remove 



frame. 



4. Fold zorbik from sides over sphagnum and cotton, then fold ends over 



pad. (When pressed down the zorbik envelope should now meas- 

 ure 6l^ X IQl/o inches, or 16.5x26.7 cm.). 



5. Pass zorbik envelope to separate table for gauze. 



(C) 



1. Place gauze on table with selvage at top. 



2. Place zorbik envelope in center of gauze with 6l/>"i"ch (16.5 cm.) side 



parallel to edge of table. 



3. Place the backing of non-absorbent cotton on pad, with a margin of 



cotton extending beyond the zorbik envelope on all sides. 



4. Fold gauze from left to right over pad ; turn in and cut edge at right 



about 1% inches (3.81 cm.) and then fold from right to left over 

 pad. Turn pad over and muff ends on face of pad, i.e. on paper 

 side of pad. 



5. At this point, if gauze has been wrapped snugly, the pad should meas- 



ure 7% X 11% inches (19.5 x 29.8 cm.) or a little less; and if all 

 measurements have been carefully followed, there should be a 

 margin of non-absorbent cotton on all sides of zorbik envelope, 

 varying from a little less to a little more than Yo inch (1.27 cm.) 

 in width, depending upon the firmness of the zorbik envelope and 

 the stretchiness of tlie zorbik. 



6. Pass for careful inspection, then sew with medium sized stitches along 



both ends and the back fold. 



7. Pass through wringer. Pad will now measure 8x12 inches (20.3 x 



30.5 cm.) and weigh from 11/4 to 1% oz. (35.4 to 49.6 g.). Weight 

 must be kept within these limits. 



8. Tie in jjackages of ten with the face side up, excejit the top one which 



should be face down ; thus a cotton side is exposed on tojj and bot- 

 tom of the package. 



9. Label: "10 Sphagnum Absorbent Pads 8x 12 inches (20.3x30.5 cm.). 

 N. B. Cotton' side does not go next to the wound." 



12 J' 24 inch (30.5 .r 61 cm.) pads 



(A) 



1. Cut the gauze 30 X 36 inches (76.2 x 91.4 cm.). 



2. Cut zorbik 26 x 27 inches (66 x 68,6 cm.) and stretch to 29 inches 



(71.1 cm.) with the 26-inch (66 cm,) edge parallel with the grain
