A bandage system lances a skin tag from a person's body and thereafter projects the wound created. The system has a base layer that is adhesively attached to the person such that the skin tag passes through an opening of the base layer. A cutter is located atop the base layer and uses a pair of blades that are squeezed together to cut the skin tag protruding through the opening. After cutting, a protective layer is adhered to the base layer such that a medicine laden absorbent pad on the protective layer overlays the opening on the base layer absorbing any blood from the wound and applying the medicine to the wound. Thereafter, the system is worn as a typical bandage.

The present invention concerns extensible absorbent pads for wound dressings. The absorbent pad has a plurality of fenestrations therein, wherein the fenestrations are arranged in a pattern about a central point. The pattern comprises one or more fenestrations having symmetry about a cardinal axis and one or more fenestrations having symmetry about an intercardinal axis, wherein the cardinal and intercardinal axes cross at the central point. The absorbent pads of the present invention can be used in advanced wound care dressing applications where additional stretch and extensibility of the dressing will assist clinicians in applying the dressing to difficult to dress anatomical areas.

A body waste collection system for collecting excretions from the anus and/or urethra of female humans and animals. The body waste collection system includes a pad that has a central opening of a shape and shape that corresponds to a shape and size of a body orifice, wherein the pad can adhere to the skin area around the body orifice. A tubing fluidly connects the central opening of the pad to a waste collection bag, such as excretions from the body orifice can pass through the central opening into the tubing, and the tubing can direct the excretions into the waste collection bag.

An anatomically contoured dental pad constructed from an absorbent material configured to have an anatomically contoured profile. In some embodiments of the present invention the contour may have a profile or cross-section substantially similar to at least one of an hourglass and/or peanut shape, a capital “L” shape, or a capital “C” shape. Such a contoured profile beneficially aligns with the anatomical structures found in the mouth, such as the patient's tongue and/or gum line.
