Abstract:
A protective wound bandage which allows for the body's natural epitheliazation process to be enhanced by the function of said bandage in the following ways. A non-stick surface is provided to make contact with the wound. An absorbent pad is provided for body fluid drainage. The skin adhesive surfaces of the flexible plastic strip which can be made to any dimension, in combination with the pad act to protect and cohesively and coherently bind the wound edges together. The removably, reattachable, tear tab provides the ability to regulate and monitor oxygen flow to the injury site. The pad, in either the standard or perforated form acts to protect against shock and also acts as an medicant delivery system. The bandage acts as a medicant delivery system and is also simultaneously, variably, oxygenatable. The bandage is engineered to operate in either the dry or medicated versions.
