Definitions

  • the present invention deals with an adhesive bandage for joint. areas and more particularly with an adhesive bandage for knuckle areas of the human hand.
  • Adhesive bandages of the type generally employed for the less serious wounds, e. g. finger wounds, comprise a strip of cloth fabric having a surface thereof coated with adhesive material, an absorbent pad located substantially centrally of the coated surface, and a covering of substantially stifi gauze material such as crinoline over the coated and padded surface.
  • bandages Although the use of such bandages is advantageous in the treatment of, for example, finger cuts or other small skin lacerations, there are certain disadvantages and shortcomings encountered in their application and use for certain kinds of wounds.
  • the bandage retards and limits movement of the skin at such joint areas, e. g. knuckles of the hand, and consequently interferes with movement of the skin especially at such areas near the knuckle joints so that there is an interference with the dexterity of finger movement.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a top view of the bandage according to the present invention
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the bandage
  • Fig. 3 illustrates an upper side applied view of the bandage
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an under side applied view of the bandage.
  • the present invention deals with an elastic adhesive bandage for joint areas such as knuckle areas and comprises essentially an elastic fabric having a surface thereof coated with an adhesive substance, an absorbent pad located substantially centrally of the coated surface, and a covering of a substantially stiff gauze material such as crinoline over the coated and padded surface, and which bandage is structurally adapted to cover a substantially large area of a joint or knuckle and to adhere to the skin areas surrounding the joint or knuckle in such manner as to render a freedom of movement for the skin adjacent the joint or knuckle and a freedom of articulation for the joint or knuckle.
  • the bandage comprises an elastic strip of cloth 1 made from an elastic fabric manufactured by a weaving or knitting process in the form of a sheet or as an elastic knitted product of circular knitting machines, tricot machines, etc., and preferably an elastic woven fabric having elastic warp yarns and non-elastic filler or weft yarns, and such strip having a substantially large central or base portion 2 from which extends a pair of substantially similar or identical narrow parallel legs 3 and 4 in one direction and another pair of substantially similar or identical narrow parallel legs 5 and 6 extending in the opposite direction.
  • the said legs may be provided by cutting a U-shaped notch having parallel sides into the ends of a strip bandage of substantial width after such bandage has been completed as far as all of the other bandage components are concerned, i. e. the adhesive coating 7, the absorbent pad 8 and the gauze 9 covering the adhesive coating and pad, which gauze consists of two strips of gauze caused to overlap each other over the pad 8 for purpose of removal thereof prior to applying the adhesive layer to the skin.
  • the entire strip is elastic, preferably elastic along its length, it is apparent that the large central portion 2 is less elastic than the legs 3, 4, 5 and 6 since the weft yarns across the width of the strip, especially when they are non-elastic, resist, at least to some extent, the elongation of such central portion.
  • the addition of the adhesive 7 and the absorbent pad 8 to such central portion further resists elongation to such an extent that such central portion is rendered longitudinally substantially less elastic than the legs which are non-restricted in this regard. The result is the pad 8 is substantially stationary when applied to a wound.
  • the legs 3, 4, 5 and 6 in view of their narrowness compared with the wide central portion 2 have greater elasticity so that the bandage thereby provided is a combination of substantially highly elastic similar narrow legs extending from a less elastic body portion 2.
  • This difference in elasticity is quite important in that when the legs are under elongation and constriction forces caused by movement, such elongation and constriction are not reflected to the body portion 2 in sufiicient degree to cause a displacement of the pad 8 from the wound over which it is applied.
  • a knuckle over which the pad 8 is applied is articulated, such articulation does not result in an uncomfortable stretching of the skin to which the legs are adhered.
  • each pair of legs consists of two similar parallel legs because otherwise it would be practically impossible to have the legs 5 and 6 form a narrow band around the underside of the finger, as illustrated by Fig. 4, and free of the finger crease between the palm of the hand and such finger in which case dexterity of movement is not interfered with. Otherwise there would be either a bulging of'the legs 5 and 6 between the fingers or the legs 5 and 6 would be caused to contact a greater finger skin area and interfere with finger movement.
  • An adhesive bandage for joints comprising an elastic strip adhesively coated on one side, a pad centrally positioned on the coated side of the strip and retarding the elasticity of that portion to maintain the pad substantially stationary when applied to a wound, and sub stantially U-shaped notches in the end portions of said strip forming parallel end leg portions with the inner and outer edges of said leg portions being substantially parallel and having a high degree of elasticity and ma neuverability to form elastic anchors when engaged against the skin adjacent a joint to secure the pad in stationary position without disturbing the smoothness of the strip engagement and permitting free movement of the skin between the anchoring leg portions.
  • An adhesive bandage for joints comprising a strip formed of woven cloth having elastic warp yarns longi tudinaily of said strip and non-elastic weft yarns laterally thereof, said strip being adhesively coated on one Side, a pad centrally positioned on the coated side of the strip and retarding the elasticity of that portion to maintain the pad substantially stationary when applied to a wound, and substantially U-shaped notches in the end portions of said strip forming parallel end leg portions with the inner and outer edges of said leg portions being substantially parallel and having a high degree of clasticity and maneuverability to form elastic anchors when engaged against the skin adjacent a joint to secure the pad in stationary position without disturbing the smoothness of the strip engagement and permitting free movement of the skin between the anchoring leg portions.
