Protective Circular bandage

[Category : - OTHER- HEALTH- DESIGN PATENTS]
[Viewed 359 times]

The invention relates generally to medical supplies, and in particular to a circular bandage for a drainage tube. The insertion of drainage tubes, feeding tubes,tracheotomy tubes, and similar devices into wounds and surgical incisions has created a unique problem for medical caregivers and individuals taking care of their tubing.

Excess drainage from the wound or incision must be absorbed, and the wound or incision must be kept clean to prevent infection. Various dressings have been applied to these sites, but have generally proven to be unsatisfactory. They must be changed frequently, but the inserted tube must not be disturbed. A circular adhesive or non-adhesive bandage, featuring a small, circular aperture slightly offset from the center and a slit extending from the aperture, across the center of the bandage to the opposite edge,would resolve this problem.

The bandage may be used by medical offices, hospitals,nursing homes, home health care professionals, and veterinary clinics, and is provided in various sizes and thicknesses to accommodate wounds and incisions of various sizes. The bandage features thick gauze to absorb any excess drainage, and protect the user’s clothing, bed sheets, and furniture upholstery. The bandage may also feature a flexible backing that extends outward around the edge of the gauze to provide an adhesive edge which safely adheres to the skin or no adhesive at all. This bandage may help the patient recovering from an injury or surgery to recover more rapidly, and lead a more normal lifestyle during recovery.
