A first responder device for treating blood flow from a deep wound or a bodily cavity having an inflatable balloon, a first chamber accommodating a liquid arranged for inflating the balloon, a second chamber accommodating a cooling agent capable of dissolving in the liquid when coming in contact therewith, thereby lowering the temperature, a rupturable seal between the first and second chambers, and a structure for forcing the liquid out of the first chamber into the inflatable balloon, and for rupturing the rupturable seal.

A pressure bandage comprising an elastic band having a first end comprising a pocket member and a second end that is removably attachable to the first end. An inflatable bladder is placed in the pocket member and provides a substantially uniform pressure over a wound area when the band is placed on a patient and the bladder is inflated. The bladder is connected to a tube element which is used to inflate the bladder to the desired pressure. The elastic band may include a shoulder strap and may wrap over a patient's shoulder, across the patient's chest, and under the patient's opposite arm. The bottom side of the elastic band (facing the patient) may be made of a soft, absorptive material, and the bottom side of the pocket member may include an expandable mesh.

A two-piece bandage is useful for treating wound on a patient. The bandage includes a boundary portion including a bottom surface comprising adhesive for attaching the boundary portion to skin of a patient, an open window in the middle of the boundary portion permitting one to view a wound through the open window, and a top surface. The top surface includes a first portion of the top surface surrounding the open window including a flat surface and a second portion of the top surface including an uneven surface. The bandage further includes a plurality of replaceable wound covering portions, each replaceable wound covering portion comprising a padded section comprising a material to dress the wound.

The present disclosure provides, inter-alia, an apparatus for wound-dressing. In particular, embodiments of the disclosure provide a wound-dressing apparatus comprising a wrapping element and a pad element, wherein the pad element is foldable and comprises at least one removable portion.

A bandage has a plurality of prongs extending from a portion of a bottom side of the bandage base. A depression region can be formed on the top side of the bandage base, opposite the plurality of prongs, where depressing the depression region can cause the prongs to interact with the user's skin, typically at a wound site. The depression region can be a raised dome having a button in a center region thereof, wherein depressing the raised dome beyond a given depth causes the raised dome to press the plurality of prongs against the skin of the user and automatically move back to its undepressed configuration. The prongs can have sufficient sharpness to create a slightly unpleasant sensation but can be dull enough not to create any damage to skin. Such counter irritation can provide an analgesic effect for the user.

A First Responder device for treating blood flow from a deep wound or a bodily cavity comprises an inflatable balloon, a first chamber accommodating a liquid arranged for inflating the balloon, a second chamber accommodating a cooling agent capable of dissolving in the liquid when coming in contact therewith, thereby lowering the temperature, a rupturable seal between the first and second chambers, and a structure for forcing the liquid out of the first chamber into the inflatable balloon, and for rupturing the rupturable seal.

A combined compression and absorption dressing/bandage, which includes a short stretch compression bandage and at least one absorptive wound dressing comprising at least one absorbent layer of a non-woven fabric of any one or more of cotton, viscose and polyester fibers, the absorbent layer having an operative inner face and an operative outer face, the at least one wound dressing being bonded to the short stretch compression bandage with its inner face towards the bandage and the outer face facing away from the bandage.

A bandage for use at an aggressive bleeding site of a patient is disclosed. The bandage includes a stretchable wrap, an auxiliary strap, a primary absorbent body, and at plural secondary absorbent bodies. The primary absorbent body is located on the inner surface of the wrap. The wrap is arranged to be wrapped about and tightly encircle a portion of the body of a patient at which the bleeding site is located to cause the primary absorbent body to apply pressure thereto. The auxiliary strap is secured to the wrap and is normally held in stowed position on the wrap, but arranged to be moved to an extended position whereupon the secondary absorbent bodies overlies said primary absorbent body and apply pressure thereto and to the underlying aggressive bleeding site.

A two-piece bandage is useful for treating wound on a patient. The bandage includes a boundary portion including a bottom surface comprising adhesive for attaching the boundary portion to skin of a patient, an open window in the middle of the boundary portion permitting one to view a wound through the open window, and a top surface. The top surface includes a first portion of the top surface surrounding the open window including a flat surface and a second portion of the top surface including an uneven surface. The bandage further includes a plurality of replaceable wound covering portions, each replaceable wound covering portion comprising a padded section comprising a material to dress the wound.

The present disclosure provides, inter-alia, an apparatus for wound-dressing. In particular, embodiments of the disclosure provide a wound-dressing apparatus comprising a wrapping element and a pad element, wherein the pad element is foldable and comprises at least one removable portion.
