Definitions

  • Known gauze bandages have the shortcoming that they slip easily and have a short life.
  • the bandage often slips out of place on the body of a wounded person during transport; this is particularly true when the bandage has to be loosely applied in order not to interfere with breathing or blood circulation in certain parts of the body.
  • Another reason for loose application is the possible swelling of the body which would cause the bandage to cut into the skin.
  • gauze bandages applies, of course, to other types of bandages, as well.
  • the invention solves the problem of avoiding the abovementioned shortcomings in a simple manner. It is based on the principle of making the bandages resilient, whereby a better adhesion to the body is achieved without undue compression on the part of the body, to which the bandage is applied, and without its edges cutting into the skin.
  • the desired improvements are brought about by using for the forming of the foundation Warp a synthetic yarn which has imparted to the threads thereof a crimped or curled texture by methods known per se in the art.
  • These threads will be called crinkled threads hereinafter. They have as compared to uncrinkled or straight threads, an unusual elasticity.
  • the foundation warp consists of or contains crinkled threads, whereas the weft threads are uncrinkled threads.
  • the warp threads consist of synthetic fibers, preferably polyamide, the weft threads of cellulose or cotton.
  • the weft threads are interwoven with the warp threads by gauze weave of leno construction; between the outermost gauze woven selvedge threads of the warp and the next and innermost gauze woven selvedge threads of the warp there are, moreover, several selvedge warp threads of the same kind provided, which are however woven in plain weave. It is particularly due to this selvedge formation that the sliding of the several layers of the bandage is prevented, even in case when one edge of the bandage is stretched more than the other one, a fact which hitherto always caused a strong tendency to slipping.
  • the bandages according to the invention should not be confused with the known elastic bandages. They are distinguished from the latter by their purpose and by their texture.
  • a dressing of the type considered in this application serves for covering a Wound, whereas an elastic bandage is supposed to support some part of the body. For that purpose it needs a certain strength so that the elastic bandages will be capable after having been stretched, to exert a strong pressure or traction. This is quate different from the bandage used as a dressing, which must not exert more than a slight pressure on the wound.
  • the gauze bandage according to the invention is shown to comprise threads 1-6 which consist of crinkled yarn forming a ground warp, and weft threads 7 of a larger diameter than that of the warp threads, the warp threads 1-6 and the weft threads 7 being woven together by guaze weave of leno construction.
  • the straight warp threads are indicated at 1, 3, 5 and the twisted threads at 2, 4 and 6.
  • the warp threads 1, 3, 5 have a uniform spacing over the entire width of the bandage.
  • the leno gauze weave particularly of the selvedge threads 1 and 2 with the Weft threads 7, it is brought about that the Weft threads 7 are held fast and, upon return of the shuttle, are not pulled out or tensioned. In this manner, there will not be any sharp bends at the points where the weft threads 7 reverse, so that the edge remains extensible. This prevents the bandage from cutting into the skin when used.
  • the weft threads 7 which are interwoven in plain weave with the warp threads 8-11 provide a good ahesion of superimposed layers of the bandage so that the slipping of these layers is prevented. This texture also makes the bandage keep its shape.
  • the density of the threads is so chosen that it will correspond in the stretched state of the bandage to the number of threads which is customary in gauze bandages.
  • the number of threads per centimeter in warp and weft will be less than 10, when both the straight and the twisted threads are counted as warp thread-s.
  • double threads of crinkled yarn with 30 to 100 denier having an S or Z twist; these threads preferably consist of polyamide.
  • the above is the material used.
  • the fillers or wadding threads at the selvedge may also consist of the same yarn.
  • weft threads cellulose or cotton yarns are used.
  • multiple yarns hard twisted yarns, or sized yarns.
  • Very well suited is, for instance, a four-fold thread of cotton No. 50/4.
  • Monofilar yarns should have a lower number than 36 (of the British numbering system). The yarn number 8 of this numbering is very satisfactory.
  • the weft threads must have a certain thickness so that they act as spacing members for the warp threads, as already known in elastic bandages where it is conventional to use strong monofilar threads.
  • the stretch of the bandage depends on the purpose for which it is used.
  • the strength of the bandage in stretched state must not be very great. It was found that very good dressings can be made when the force which is necessary to stretch the bandage by about is about 0.5 to 1 gram per each centimeter of bandage width. In order to be useful as a dressing, this force may vary between 0.2 and 3 grams per centimeter.
  • the force which is used in the lightest elastic bandage on the market is about 6 grams per centimeter for an elongation of about 10%.
  • the bandages When the bandages are made with rubber threads, they will yield a much higher force of traction.
  • warp threads though consisting of the same yarn, may be distributed in a non-uniform manner over the width of the bandage.
  • the materials of which the warp threads consist may be different from the ones described, e.g. other synthetics than polyamides may be used. It is surprising that the bandage according to the invention can be made just as inexpensive as a common, non-stretch, gauze bandage, while having all the above-mentioned superior properties and a much longer life.
  • a bandage for dressing wounds comprising a ground warp consisting of crinkled yarn, a weft consisting of uncrinkled yarn of larger diameter than that of the warp yarn for maintaining spacing for the warp yarn when interweaving the warp yarn with the weft yarn, said ground warp including pairs of straight and twisted warp threads, the straight thread of each pair overlying said weft along the entire length of each straight thread, and each straight thread being situated in its entirety on one side of said weft, the twisted thread of each pair being interwoven with its respective associated straight thread and crossing the weft at the side thereof opposite from said one side, each pair of warp threads being laterally spaced from the next adjacent pair at regular intervals across the bandage in a gauze weave, and a plurality of further straight warp threads interwoven with said weft yarn in a plain weave intermediate the two outermost pairs of straight and twisted selvedge ground warp threads, said weft comprising pairs of subsequent yarns looped around the peripheral
  • a bandage according to claim 1 which in its stretched state has the usual number of threads per centimeter both in the warp and the weft as is customary for conventional gauze bandages.
