Abstract:

A device for treating wounds on an individual is disclosed. The device includes a flexible foam, a treatment suitable for treating the wound placed in relative proximity to the foam, and a flexible fabric with recoverable properties substantially circumferencing the wound and the treated foam. The flexible fabric maintains the treated foam in substantial proximity to the wound to allow the treatment to treat the wound. A bandage suitable for treating wounds on an exterior limb is disclosed. The bandage includes a butterfly shaped flexible fabric, at least one Hook and loop material type fastener attachment located on the edge of the butterfly shaped flexible fabric, at least two foam layers located axially in the center of the butterfly shaped flexible fabric, and a medication suitable for treating the wound proximately located with respect to at least a first of the at least two foam layers. The butterfly shaped flexible fabric is suitable to be wrapped around the limb and fastened using the at least one Hook and loop material type fastener attachment, and the wrapped fabric maintains the at least two foam layers in proximate location with the wound such that the medication is located appropriately with the wound to provide treatment.

Abstract:

Bandages for application to the skin of an individual to treat pressure ulcers and other impaired blood circulation problems include a flexible strip having a pair of opposing major planar sides; an adhesive on one of the major sides; and a flexible foam inner member on the one major side of the strip. The foam inner member has a pair of opposing major sides, one being fixed to the strip. At least some of the adhesive on the strip is exposable around the foam member to secure the bandage to an individual. The foam inner member has an outer perimeter extending around and between the major sides of the foam inner member lacking any step extending transversely to the foam inner member and flexible strip sufficiently abruptly to create a discontinuous pressure change along the skin of the individual receiving the bandage and hindering blood flow under the foam inner member. More particularly, the foam members are tapered or undercut to smoothly transition between its two major sides. A foam slipper or boot may be applied over such bandage where the bandage is applied to the foot area or lower leg.
