An adhesive bandage system features a first member with an aperture substantially circumscribed by an adhesive layer couplable to a patient's skin. A second member of the adhesive bandage is removably couplable to the first member, having an adhesive along an outer perimeter on a first side, the outer perimeter sized so as to overlap with the first member. In some methods of use, a user may adhere the first member to a patient skin, administer a topical medication through the aperture, and then adhere the second member so as to cover the aperture. The second member may be removed, as needed, to either add medication, replace the medication with a new medication, or to have access to an injection site with a needle or catheter.

A system is provided comprising a columnar sleeve of stretchable fabric, the sleeve produced in various skin tone colors and configured to slip upon an individual toe or finger and an absorbent padding configured for attachment to an inside surface of the sleeve, the padding configured to cover about one half of an interior circumference of the inside surface, the padding optionally infused with at least one of pain killers, antiseptics, and soothing gels. The system also comprises wax paper covering the padding prior to use of the sleeve, an applicator shaped to facilitate slipping the sleeve upon the individual toe or finger, and convex-shaped flex bands placed lengthwise into the sleeve. The flex bands exert downward pressure on one of a toe and a finger and are placed in a U-shape, thus promoting the downward pressure.

A gynecological device that corrects a vaginal opening that is large or stretched out without requiring surgery. The stretchable gynecological device includes a main body having a front surface, a rear surface, a first end, a second end, a first edge, a second edge, and an adhesive on the rear surface of the main body. The gynecological device also includes at least two arms having a front surface, a rear surface, a first end, a second end, a first edge and a second edge that extend outwardly from the second edge of the main body. An adhesive is on the rear surface of the arms. To apply the gynecological device, the arms are firmly pressed down to the vaginal vestibule bilaterally, the main body is then pulled up above the clitoral hood and then applied and pressed down across the lower abdomen towards the anterior superior iliac spines.

A wound dressing garment is provided. The wound dressing garment includes a wearable garment including a portion having a hole configured to receive a wound dressing therein in combination with the wound dressing. The wound dressing includes a border connecting the wound dressing to the wearable garment where the border extends around the perimeter of the hole to locate the wound dressing therein. The wound dressing may include one or more additional layers including a hydrogel layer. A method for treating wound or preventing bed sores using the wound dressing garment is also provided.

Adhesive bandages/shield/cover with at least one raised non-adhesive portion which is elevated above the at least one adhesive layer with attached water temperature gauge indicator. The raised non-adhesive portion is peripherally surrounded by an adhesive layer with attached water temperature gauge indicator and is designed to protect surgical sites and cutaneous wounds as well as any other skin malady. Neither the raised non-adhesive portions of the bandage/shield/cover nor the adhesive layer with attached water temperature gauge indicator are in contact with the cutaneous layer which is the subject of the sought protection, with the adhesive layer with attached water gauge temperature indicator coming into contact only with the area surrounding the affected site which can result in the reduction or elimination of exposure to moisture and/or contaminates, and the correct water temperature can be indicated to eliminate any scalding of the skin. In addition, the surgical site or cutaneous wound is protected from force or impact. The raised non-adhesive portion may also be transparent to provide for monitoring of the surgical site or cutaneous wound while the surgical site or cutaneous wound remains protected.

A wound care device that can be effectively attached to a wide range of wound locations without the use of any adhesives, can apply controlled, consistent pressure to the wound, and can be configured to allow the clinician to see relevant areas of the patient's body is disclosed. The wound care device includes a contact pad connected with a securing strap. The securing strap includes an inelastic strap segment and an elastic strap segment. The elastic strap segment is coupled with an attachment segment, which attaches to the inelastic strap segment and cooperates with the elastic strap segment to compress the contact pad to the wound.

A wound care accessory device providing pre-cut tape and an infection control barrier includes a sheet that comprises a first section and a second section. The sheet is substantially rectangularly shaped. A plurality of tape strips is disposed on and peelable from the second section of the sheet. The sheet is configured for placement proximate to a wound that requires care. The sheet provides a barrier to control infection. The first section is configured for placement of accessories used in caring for the wound. The tape strips are positioned on the second section of the sheet. The strips are configured for peeling by the user from the sheet to be used in caring for the wound.

A bandage securing device composed of a first sheet part and a second sheet part, and optionally also a third sheet part. The first and second sheet parts are connected to each other along a connection line extending in a width direction and arranged to overlap each other, thereby forming a jaw-like structure in a longitudinal direction. At least one of the first and second sheet parts, and possibly both, are provided with at least one first adherent fastening layer on an internal surface facing the overlap. Further, the bandage securing device can include at least one second adherent fastening layer on an external surface, not facing the overlap, to detachably connect to the bandage. This second adherent fastening layer may be provided on one of the first and second sheet parts, and/or on the third sheet part.

Medical articles comprising a conformable wound dressing and delivery system. The wound dressing generally comprises a backing having a first major surface and a second major surface, an adhesive on the second major surface of the backing, and an absorbent pad proximate the second major surface of the backing. The backing extends beyond the perimeter of the absorbent pad, typically beyond the entire perimeter of the pad. The perimeter of the wound dressing has a concave feature that exhibits a local minimum. An axis extends from the local minimum to the perimeter of the wound dressing opposite the local minimum. The carrier overlies at least a portion of the backing on each side of the axis but does not overlie the backing along the axis. The wound dressing is especially designed for use on round or irregular shaped body parts, such as an elbow or heel.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to pressure-sensitive adhesive plastic film or sheet optionally having antimicrobial properties. The film or sheet can be applied to numerous frequent use objects and finds particular utility in the health care field. The pressure-sensitive adhesive plastic film or sheet can be supplied in pads that can be applied to both the outermost, or patient, side of the face shield, or it can be applied to the innermost, or healthcare professional, surface. After the object, such as a face shield, has been used, the top layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive plastic can be removed and discarded.
