Definitions

  • a first aid bandage comprising a flexible backing, preferably microporous, having an adhesive layer applied thereover with an absorbent pad cover- [52] [1.8. CI 128/155; 128/156 ing an intermediam portion of said backing and [5 i] Ilrl.
  • the present invention is directed to a first aid bandage which promotes faster healing of wounds with a marked decrease or elimination of scar formation.
  • the first aid bandage of the invention comprises a flexible adhesively coated backing having an absorbent pad secured thereto and a strip of microporous breathable surgical tape superposed thereover and being lightly adhered to the adhesive of said flexible backing around its peripheral surface, the exposed surface of said surgical tape being covered with adhesive for adhering to the skin of the user.
  • the first aid bandage is applied to a wound site in the conventional manner by grasping the ends of the bandage and stretching it over the wound.
  • the wound edges are pulled into approximation and the microporous breathable surgical tape strip is applied directly over the wound thus maintaining the approximated position of the wound edges without interfering with proper ventilation and/or drainage of the wound.
  • the flexible backing and absorbent pad is removed from the wound site without disturbing the originally lightly adhered microporous breathable surgical tape strip which is left in contact with the wound until healing has been effected.
  • FIG. I is a plan view of a first aid bandage of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the bandage of FIG. 1, with dimensions exaggerated to show details more clearly;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the bandage as applied to a wound.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the bandage after bleeding and exudation have ceased and showing the back ing and absorbent pad being removed from the wound site.
  • the first aid bandage of the present invention comprises a microporous flexible backing 11 having a layer of adhesive I2 to the central portion of which an absorbent pad 13 is adherently secured, all as is common in the prior art. Additionally, in accordance with the present invention, a strip of microporous breathable surgical tape 14 is superposed over the absorbent pad 13 and is lightly adherently secured to the adhesive 12 of said flexible backing II. The adhesive 15 of mi croporous breathable surgical tape strip 14 is outwardly exposed so that in use. the entire skin-facing surface of first aid bandage 10 which is applied over a wound site W is adhesive. First aid bandage 10 would be provided with suitable adhesive protective cover sheet or sheets (not shown) as is customary for such bandages and a protective outer wrap (also not shown) to insure sterility.
  • flexible backing II comprises a microporous polyurethane film produced by stretch orienting a calcium carbonate filled polyurethane film thus causing the originally filled nonporous unoriented film to become microporous.
  • Films thus produced have been found to have a thickness of about 5 mils with pores ranging in diameter from I to 20 microns, with an average pore size of 15 microns. The films were found to have porosity values adequate to keep the underlying skin area free from maceration. having yielded Gurley Densometer values of 30 to 40 seconds per 50 cc. of air.
  • flexible backing 11 is provided with die cut apertures 16 to provide for increased ventilation.
  • Adhesive layer 12 is an acrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive of the type described in Ulrichs US. Pat. No. 2,884,126, being a pure rubbery copolymer of isoctyl acrylate and acrylic acid in a 94:6 ratio, tackified by the addition of 40 percent of a highly stabilized ester resin tackifier, commercially available from Hercules Chemical Co. under the trade name Foral 85.
  • This adhesive is coated onto flexible backing II in a coating weight of 7.5 grains/4 X 6 inches.
  • Absorbent pad 13 is formed from an airlaid web of rayon fibers having a ream weight of lbs/ream, to which has been laminated a 34; mil porous polyethylene film generally as described in Eldredge and Petters US. Pat. No. 3,285,245.
  • Microporous breathable surgical tape strip 14 is a tape produced in accordance with Copelands US. Pat. No. 3,121,02l, utilizing the same tackified adhesive set forth hereinabove in a coating weight of 8.5 grains/4 X 6 inches and a silicone low adhesion backsize coating in place of the urethane (carbarnate) copolymer backsize coating utilized by Copeland.
  • This backsize coating is imperceptibly thin but provides a fibrous back surface having a reduced adhesion to the pressuresensitive adhesive layer 12.
  • the light adhesion is, however, sufficient to permit of adequate adhesion between microporous breathable surgical tape 14 and flexible backing 11 to provide a unitary first aid bandage 10 until it is desired to separate surgical tape 14 from the bandage, i.e., strip backing 11 and pad 13 from wound site W.
  • Typical adhesion values between the components of first aid bandage l0 and of flexible backing 11 and microporous breathable surgical tape 14 to skin were as follows:
  • first aid bandage 10 in promoting healing of wounds
  • the initial stage of wound healing is bleeding.
  • One of the many functions of blood is to act as a natural seal over wounds, i.e., to act as a temporary skin while new skin is being regenerated.
  • Blood and exuded plasma normally clots upon contact with air and forms a scab or protective seal which not only protects the wound from invasion by microorganisms but also maintains the proper environment for healing. The importance of this proper environment under the scab cannot be overemphasized.
  • the scab not only provides a barrier to entrance by micro-organisms but probably more importantly, it functions as a semi-permeable membrane under which is provided the correct oxygen and mois ture concentration for healing.
  • a first aid dressing or bandage should, to be most effective, augment the healing process.
  • known first aid bandages usually applied an absorbent pad directly over the wound which would soak up the blood and other wound exudates and retain it until sufficient contact with air caused or allowed clotting, the absorbent pad then being an integral part of the clot or scab.
  • a serious disadvantage was the fact that this reinforced clot or scab was unnecessarily thick so that it reduced diffusion of necesssary air to the wound and thus delayed the healing process.
  • This reinforced clot or scab also interferred with diffusion of moisture vapor from the healing site. Under excessively high humidity conditions, the few contaminating micro-organisms normally present on the skin can multiply at a phenomenal rate changing the environment under the clot from a healing situation to an infection situation.
  • the first aid dressing of the present invention has an underlying relatively nonelastic.
  • microporous tape 14 having a microporous adhesive surface adapted for direct contact with the wound.
  • Tape 14 is hydrophobic" such that it is not readily soiled by blood and the blood clot does not adhere thereto.
  • lt is desirable that tape 14 be short not only for esthetic reasons and for healing purposes but also for comfort since an inelastic bandage adhesively applied to the skin, if not short, tends to feel taut and uncomfortable because of its lack of comformability.
  • first aid dressing in the conventional manner automatically causes correct application of tape 14 over the wound site W.
  • first aid dressing 10 Once the composite first aid dressing 10 is in place over the wound site W, blood and other exudates from the wound may pass through the short microporous tape 14 into absorbent pad 13 and into or through flexible backing 11.
  • Microporous breathable surgical tape 14 has been found to reduce bleeding somewhat more effectively than other first aid dressings known to the art and in so reducing bleeding allows the blood and exudate to clot more quickly and also reduces the need for absorbent capacity in pad 13. Indeed, this latter feature permits the use of a first aid bandage 10 having no absorbent pad 13 especially where the underlying wound is a minor laceration.
  • the microporous breathable surgical tape 14 functions mainly as a suture" strip.
  • backing H and pad 13 of the dressing can be stripped away leaving only the short breathable microporous surgical tape 14 adhered over the wound.
  • the adhesive bond between backking 11 and tape 14 is designed to be less than the adhesive bond between tape 14 and the skin, so that removal of backing l] and pad 13 does not dis turb tape 14.
  • the short microporous breathable surgical tape 14 is then allowed to remain in place over the wound until healing is substantially advanced, serving as a protective cover over the wound against microorganisms and providing beneficial entrance of oxygen and moisture concentration for healing.
  • tape 14 approximate and immobi lize the incised wound edges but it also holds the edges in better relationship than does suturing by eliminating the gaps which occur between stitches and hence causes less cosmetic scar formation.
  • An elastic tape cannot maintain the fixed immobility between opposing wound edges. Nor can this immobility be maintained by having the adhesive attachment remotely located from the wound as is the case with conventional first aid bandages known to the art especially during the normal flexure of the skin during movement of the portion of the body to which the bandage or dressing is applied.
  • first aid bandage 10 may be fabricated with a large variety of materials provided only that the resultant first aid bandage is provided with an inner wound contacting strip 14 which is capable of providing an adequate supply of air to the wound (breathability) and permit the passage of blood and exudate therethrough. and wherein the strip 14 is releasably adhered to backing ll.
  • first aid ban dages according to the invention have been produced utilizing other acrylate adhesives, adhesives based on urethane latices and conventional zinc oxide adhesives for adhesive layer 12 only; materials for flexible backing 11 have included films of polyurethane, vinyl, ethylene vinyl acetate, acetate, polyethylene, polyester and nylon and nonwoven materials comprised of dacron. rayon.
  • the materials for strip 14 have included nonwoven materials comprised of dacron, rayon, acetate, nylon, cellulosic materials and mixtures thereof; and absorbent pad 13 has been constructed of a variety of absorbent materials including cotton, rayon, dacron or similar absorbing material and of textile materials as is common in the first aid bandage art for absorbing blood and exudates.
  • first aid bandage has been shown as being rectangular in shape, having dimensions of about 3 by 34 inch, with an absorbent pad 13 measuring about 1% by inch and a microporous breathable surgical tape strip 14 measuring about 74 by 1 inch, it will be obvious that the first aid dressing 10 may be fabricated in various other shapes with the components thereof having a variety of dimensions, the only requirement being that the microporous breathable surgical tape 14 be releasably adhesively adhered to the backing strip.
  • a first aid bandage comprising a first flexible adhesively coated sheet having an absorbent pad centrally adhesively secured thereto and a second flexible adhesively coated sheet superposed over said absorbent pad and being lightly releasably adhered to the adhesive of said first sheet, the adhesively coated surface of said second sheet being disposed in the same direction as the adhesively coated surface of said first sheet such that the entire surface of the first aid bandage is adhered to a wound in use.
  • a first aid bandage according to claim 1 wherein said second flexible sheet comprises a nonwoven web of interlaced fibers unified by a fiber-binding sizing agent.
  • a first aid bandage comprising a first flexible adhesively coated sheet and a second flexible adhesively coated sheet centrally superposed over said first sheet and being lightly releasably adhered to the adhesive of said first sheet, the adhesively coated surface of said second sheet being disposed in the same direction as the adhesively coated surface of said first sheet such that the entire surface of the first aid bandage is adhered to a wound in use.
