  • the invention relates generally to bandage application devices, and, in particular, to a bandage applicator device adapted to slide over an appendage and the like to prevent a bandage from having direct contact with said appendage and thereby facilitating its application.
  • a bandage such as a compression bandage or a tensor
  • a compression bandage may be tubular, such as, for example, elastic compression stockings, and therefore may be difficult to apply to the body for some of the reasons now following.
  • Body appendages are knobby therefore there always exists the opportunity for the bandage to snag a finger, a heel, etc. when applying a bandage to the body appendage.
  • An intended bandage wearer could also be connected to an intravenous drip in which case an arrangement of needles, tubes, valves, and connectors typically attached to the back of a patient's hand would provide ample opportunities for bandages to painfully snag.
  • Bandages may also be required to be applied either on or up from burns, edemas, or sores in which case mere friction between the bandage and the affected surface when applying the bandage would be very painful.
  • Reducing friction between the bandage being applied and the appendage also facilitates the application of the bandage on patients for healthcare workers and the like. Furthermore, reducing friction may allow a patient to apply a bandage his or herself without the assistance of a second party.
  • a bandage application device includes a substantially conical sock having a cone point and an open-ended base for receiving an appendage.
  • the open-ended base includes a substantially V-shaped notch.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'application de bandage et ses procédés d'utilisation. Le dispositif comporte un boudin sensiblement conique présentant une pointe conique et une base dont l'extrémité est ouverte pour recevoir un appendice. La base à extrémité ouverte comporte une entaille formée entre une paire de rabats. Le dispositif peut inclure un mécanisme de retrait de bande. En cours de fonctionnement, un bandage, tel qu'un bandage tubulaire, est glissé sur le dispositif et positionné sur un appendice, soit devant le dispositif, soit sur le dispositif lui-même. Fabriqué avec un tissu à faible friction et faible glissement, le dispositif peut se désolidariser de l'appendice par une traction sur le mécanisme de retrait de bande.
