Description

Device for the distribution and impregnation of bandages for dressing.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing various lengths of bandage bands, in particular gauze, which can be impregnated with a medicinal product.

The apparatus, which comprises an enclosure containing a fairly large reserve of gauze is extended, at its rear part, by a second enclosure in which can be placed a cartridge of medicinal product which, on opening, moistens the portion of the gauze. that we scroll through this chamber. A desired length of impregnated gauze is then cut off and this can be used immediately to make the dressing.

According to the invention, the apparatus consists of an enclosure containing the reserve of gauze, enclosure opening into the duct leading to the second enclosure in which the drug cartridge is located, this second housing being extended by a duct constituting the output of the device.

According to another characteristic of the invention, the enclosure containing the reserve of gauze comprises, in its middle, an axis around which the reserve of gauze is wound.

Various other characteristics of the invention moreover emerge from the following detailed description:
An embodiment of the object of the invention is shown, by way of example, in the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the apparatus.

Figure 2 is a section taken on line II-II of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a plan cut along line III
III of figure 2.

Figure 4 is a side elevation of the apparatus
Figure 5 is a partial section of an element of the apparatus.

Figure 6 is a front end view of the apparatus.

In Figure i, the apparatus is shown which consists of a cylindrical container 1, extended along one of its diameters, by a rectangular duct 2, leading to a receptacle 3 of cylindrical shape. This receptacle comprises on its upper face a cover 4 articulated on an axis 5, integral with the duct 2. Finally, a duct 6 extends the apparatus.

Normally the front end 6a of the duct 6 is closed by a cover 7.

The container 1 has on the inner side of its sides 1a, 1b, two bearings 8, 9 receiving an axis 10, around which is wound a certain quantity of gauze 11. The latter passes through the duct 2 and then into the enclosure 3, under the grid 12 placed above the bottom of this enclosure 3. 13 designates spikes integral with the upper face of the grid 12. Finally, the gauze comes out, after having passed through the duct 6, at the end of the latter.

In the space formed between the grid 12 and the cover 4, there is normally placed a cartridge or capsule 14 containing a medicinal product 15, which product is enclosed within an envelope of easily punctured material, such as, for example, a gelatin wrap.

The apparatus having a sufficient reserve of gauze, the person responsible for making the dressing proceeds as follows.

It first introduces into the chamber 3, a capsule 14 containing the desired drug, then it closes the cover 4 which then exerts pressure on the capsule 14 which is torn in certain areas by the tips 13. The liquid contained in the capsule 14 gently impregnates the part of the gauze placed under the grid 12. As the person responsible for making the dressing gently pulls on the gauze 11, a fairly long part of this gauze is therefore impregnated with the medicated product; when there is sufficient impregnated gauze, the user cuts it flush with the end 6a of the duct 6.

In Figure 6, there is shown two jaws 16, 17, articulated on a common axis 18, allowing when they are pivoted towards each other, to cut a thickness of gauze 11.

One can also use other means and, in particular, a simple pair of scissors.

In the foregoing it has been indicated that the dispensing apparatus contained gauze, but one could also use the device described above containing any strip, serving to make dressings.

Likewise, in order to increase the pressure when the cover 4 is closed, a flexible pad 19 is often placed under the latter cover 4.

In general, the apparatus is made of plastic material, but it could be made of any other suitable material allowing easy cleaning, and even sterilization.

In certain cases, the bottom of the enclosure 3 may be detachable to allow rapid cleaning using a cotton ball, for example, soaked in the sterilizing cleaning product.

Various modifications can moreover be made to the embodiment given by way of example, without departing from the scope of the invention.
