Applicatiou'filed December 9,1929. SerialNo. 41 5, 216.
This invention relates to'animpr-ovement 1n bandages required for surgical purposes and has for its object to provide such an article which can be economically made, which will be highly sanitary and very effective in use.
A further object is to provide a bandage of the type mentioned which may bernade in whole or in part of paper and thus be cheap to manufacture.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a bandage which will be formed with an absorbent and moisture-penetrable area as well as with a protective waterrepellant area sothat all of the qualities of a fully absorbent bandage with desirable protective features will be secured.
With these objects and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, in view, I have devised the particular arrangement of parts set forth below and more particularly pointed out in the claim appended hereto.
Reference is to had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereofvin which Figure 1 is a plan view of a bandage made in accordance with my invention;
Figure 2 is a similar. view of the opposite face of the bandage;
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows;
Figure 4 is a view of the bandage showing how it appears when in use; and
Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view of y the bandage in loosely rolled condition diagrammatically illustrating the manner in which it is applied to a wound or the like.
Throughout the various views of the draw-. ing, similar reference characters designate similar parts.
In the illustrative embodiment of my invention disclosed in the accompanying drawing, 1 indicates the body portion of the bandage. This body portion 1 preferably consistsofv an elongated continuous strip of a suitable dimension for application to that portion of the body which requires the bandage. The body portion 1 is preferably made of any soft highly absorbent material such as a soft inulti-layer paper or cellucotton.
The strip 1 may be of any suitable length and is preferably providedon one of its faces with a covering of thin open mesh textile fabric or gauze such as is indicated at 2. The face'of the strip 1 covered by the gauze 2 is that which is applied next to the wound and the gauze 2 acts to prevent separation of the layers of the body strip 1 due to moisture.
At 3 is indicated a strip of water-proof or at least water-repellant paper which extends for a distance along the rear face of the body portion 1. It will be seen that in the structure disclosed in the drawing, this'waterproof covering 3 extends from the end 10 of the strip and terminates at the point 4, leav-. inga portion of the strip from the point 1 to the end 9 uncovered.
It will be thus apparent that the bandage is made up of a fully absorbent and liquidi penetrable portion located between the point 4 and the end 9 and another area located between the end 10 and the point 1, one face of this latter area being protected by a liquidrepellant surface. I v
In order to fasten the bandage in place,
her 8 which has one of its ends anchored to the bandage "adjacentthe end 10 thereof by means of an eyelet 6 which passes through a paper disk 5 disposed onthe outside of the protective strip 3, and also through an inner reinforcing paper washer 7 which is disposed on the inner side of the strip.
From the foregoing, the manner in which my improved bandage is applied and used will be readily understood. In Figure 4, the same is shown as applied to the wrist of a patient. The same is there applied by first beginning with the end 9 ofthe bandage and wrapping the same about the injured part. The absorbent area located between the point l and the end 9 of the bandage is made of sufficient length to permit the same to be wound several times about the injured part before the protective waterproof area located between the points 4 and 10 is reached in the bandaging operation.
In other words, as will be seen from Figure 5, a number of layers of the absorbent and.
I P provide a string or other flexible tying memfirst wrapped about the Wound, permitting blood or matter therefromto be readily absorbed by the absorbent, penetrable portion of the bandage.
The outer portion of the bandage containingthe water-proof layer 3 limits the degree of penertation and prevent the blood or other matter flowing from the wound from wholly passing through the bandage, at the same time p affording a degree of protection not provided by other types ofbandage. i V
While I have described the water-proof 7 layer or covering 3 as being in the form of a paper strip applied overv a portion of the I outer face of the bodyjstrip '1, it Will be ap-' Y parent that a water-proof covering of any other form'may likewise be used for the same purpose. 7
InFigure 5, for simplicity of illustration, I have omitted the gauze covering 2 on the inner face of thebandage. While it is not absolutely necessary to use this covering, it is found highly desirable to do so. 7
When the bandage is wrapped in place about the wound, itvis held thereabout by wrapping the string 8 securely around the same and then about the eyelet 6 and under the disk 5.
Having described my invention, What I claim is:
A combination bandage and dressing comprising an elongated absorbent paper strip, a strip of open-mesh textile gauze overlaying one face ofthe absorbent strip and extending co-extensively therewith for the full length of said absorbent strip, a water-repellant paper covering of less length than the absorbent V strip extending over the other face of said absorbent strip and terminating short of one end thereof whereby'the absorbent strip is provided at one of its ends with a fully absorbent dressing portion over which the water-repellant covering extends only when the bandage is in use, a flexible tying member and an anchorage for said tying member,
said anchorage being located adjacent one end of the bandage.
