Definitions
- ABSTRACT A felted cellulosic nonwoven fabric, in which the fibers have substantial freedom of movement relative to each other, is mechanically compacted into a series of undulations, to yield a bandage material that does not decrease in width when elongated by 10% or more.
- This invention relates to a nonwoven bandaging material. More particularly it relates to a bandaging material which has enhanced elongation and conformability, of advantageous use in applications such as cast padding in orthopedic surgery.
- a satisfactory bandage of this type should be elastic and conformable, to provde support; it should be nonconstricting, even under pronounced swelling and should not shrink during the alternating sorption and desorption of moisture; it should be strong enough wet or dry to resist rupture during application and use; it should not readily bunch or wrinkle; it should absorb and retain perspiration, promoting healthy tissue; it should have a high air porosity, to permit unhampered circulation of air; and it should be soft and nonirritating.
- Sheet wadding the oldest historically-used cast padding, is relatively non-absorbent. has low dry and wet strength, and is held together by a starch coating which offers a fertile breeding ground for micro-organisms, especially when damp.
- Various proposed alternatives to sheet wadding are objectionable on other grounds.
- One available material described in US. Pat. No. 2,625,733, is widely used in orthopedic work, consisting as it does of a binder-free cotton felt, in which the fibers are held together by mechanical engagement. It does, however, have a tendency to pucker, wrinkle, or fold over unless special care is exercised during it application.
- FIG. 1 is a front elevation of the edge of a bandage material made according to this invention.
- FIG. 2 is a similar view of another embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a representation of a prior art bandage material under tension.
- FIG. 4 is a similar view of the product of this invention under tension.
- a nonwoven fabric comprising cellulosic fibers which are frictionally interlocked into a felt-like structure by artificially-induced kinks, twists, bends, and curls, as described in US. Pat. Nos. 2,528,792 and 2,625,733, of common assignee.
- the material described in the latter patent has found use as an orthopedic bandage, due to its clean, absorbent, porous nature, and its property of clinging to itself.
- Such material does, however, fall short of being ideal, on three counts. Although it is recoverably elongatable, in contrast to the commonly-employed sheet wadding, such bandage material as currently available elongates only about 25% before breaking. Stretching orthopedic bandage material is inevitably met with the result of the need for adjusting to the constantly varying contours of body members. As set forth above, stretching under tension causes a substantial necking-in, or decrease in width, of such bandage material, as illustrated by the behavior of the prior art bandage 30 in FIG. 3. And finally, stretching bandage material of this nature causes an increase in thickness.
- the uncompacted fibrous areas, 28 in FIG. 4 which shows a bandage of this invention under tension, comparable to the tensed prior art bandage of FIG. 3.
- the compacted fibrous ribs 26, however, are made up of fibers which have been brought into closer approximation, and which are not so readily displaced from their position by applied stress.
- the ribs 26, therefor, have the net effect of holding the bandage out to width during extension, the elastic capacity of the bandage as a whole being satisfied by the ability of the uncompacted areas 28 to stretch and recover.
- the fibers comprising the starting material be held together principally by mechanical engagement, so that they have a relatively high degree of freedom of movement with respect to each other.
- fibers can be displaced from the normally uniform density of the sheet, to be aggregated into alternating bands of high density and low density.
- the apparent density (weight per unit volume of fabric) in the compacted, relatively inextensible rib sections may be as much as twice the apparent density of the uncompacted, readily extensible sections.
- the apparent thickness of the bandage does not vary appreciably from point to point, the density increase in the rib sections being effected by an actual physical translation of fibers from the extensible sections.
- FIG. 1 A typical bandage material made by subjecting the nonwoven fabric of US. Pat. No. 2,625,733 to the compacting process described in US. Pat. No. 2,765,513 is shown at in FIG. 1.
- the normally flat and planar arrangement of the fibers has been rearranged into a series of sine-like waves and troughs, consisting of alternating ribs of high density 12 separated by zones of low density 14.
- HO. 2 represents another embodiment of the invention, in that the bandage material has been rearranged into a somewhat different wave-like configuration, but still consisting of alternating high-density ribs 22 and low-density zones 24.
- the behavior of either type of material under 10% to 20% elongation is shown in FIG. 4.
- the base fabric range may be from 40 to 120 grams per square yard, with the 50 to 80 gram range being especially preferred.
- the number of convolutions per linear inch, determined by the machine settings in known manner, may vary from eight to 16, with the 11 to 14 per inch range preferred.
- the linear shrinkage during compaction may vary from 10% to 30 or 40%. Due perhaps to the attenuation of fibers effected in the noncompacted, extensible zones, a decrease of about 25% may be expected in the machine direction tensile strength, related to the decrease in weight of the fabric in the extensible areas.
- the elongation at break of bandage material processed according to this invention is markedly enhanced over the elongation at break of the untreated nonwoven fabric, being between. 50% and compared with 20% to 25% in bandage material compacted by 12% 20%. This is accompanied by an increased conformability and ready adaptation to form a smooth, wrinkle-free covering over wrists, ankles, knees, and the like.
- the compacted bandage had a thickness of 40 mils both originally and after 20% extension and release, as measured on an Ames gauge Type 382 with 1.5 inch diameter foot. Even higher elongations at break characterize material subjected to greater degrees of compaction.
- a conformable nonwoven bandage material which comprises:
- a strip of felt-like nonwoven fabric characterized by the property of displaying substantially no decrease in width where elongated by 10% comprising cellulosic fibers held together principally by frictional engagement derived fron kinks, bends, twists, and curls induced into said fibers,
- said fabric being arranged in a repeating series of wave-like undulations substantially throughout its length
- said undulations comprising a set of high density, compacted transverse ribs marking the peaks and valleys of said undulations
- the side slopes of said undulations comprising areas of lower fiber density and greater extensibility than the fibers in said ribs.
- the bandage material of claim 1 characterized by a weight of between 50 and grams per square yard and between 11 and 14 undulations per inch.
- the bandage material of claim 1 characterized by an elongation at break of at least 50%.
