A compression device includes: an adhesive sheet having an adhesion surface; and a compression member configured to compress a biological surface. The compression member includes: a pressing body configured to press the biological surface by extending in a thickness direction of the adhesive sheet; and a holding body fixed to the adhesive sheet and configured to hold the pressing body. In a plan view seen in the thickness direction, a receiving portion, which is a region in which the adhesive sheet is not disposed or a region defined by a concave portion in an outer edge of the adhesive sheet and which is configured to receive a medical insertion member, is provided outside an outer edge of the holding body. The holding body includes, at a position adjacent the receiving portion, an identification portion configured to be visually identified in the plan view seen in the thickness direction.

A compression device set includes: a compression device to be adhered to a biological surface; and a cover member attachable to and detachable from the compression device. The compression device includes: an adhesive sheet having an adhesion lower surface to be adhered to the biological surface; and a compression member fixed to an upper surface side of the adhesive sheet and configured to compress the biological surface when the adhesion surface is adhered to the biological surface. The adhesive sheet includes a first portion that is in contact with the compression member and a second portion that is not in contact with the compression member. The cover member is configured to be attached to the compression member in a state in which the cover member is configured to come into contact with an upper surface of at least a part of the second portion of the adhesive sheet.

The present invention relates generally to first aid articles and more specifically tourniquets suitable for one handed application. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a tourniquet having a base defining first and second ends. A constricting band is attached to and extends from the first end of the base. A handle is engaged with the constricting band. The constricting band is threaded through a buckle assembly including a hexagonal frame member. A hook member includes an eyelet and a cuff which is releasably engaged to a first side of the hexagonal frame member. A loop is fixedly attached to said base which attaches the eyelet of said hook member to the base.

A compression patch configured to achieve hemostasis in a living body, the compression patch including a compression feature extruding out towards a patient contact surface; a base configured to provide support to the compression feature, the base including an opening within a perimeter of the base; and a patch feature configured to provide stability to the compression patch by adhering to the patient contact surface.

A heat-shrinkable medical dressing structure for suture-free and scar-free wound closure, including a heat-shrinkable sheet portion and a non-heat-shrinkable sheet edge portion. The non-heat-shrinkable sheet edge portion is arranged along the bottom peripheral surface of the heat-shrinkable sheet portion and the two portions are fixed as one. The bottom surface of the non-heat-shrinkable sheet edge portion is provided with an adhesive layer. Shrinking force, produced when the heat-shrinkable sheet portion is heated, interworks with the adhesive edges so that wound closure is easily achieved without any sutures or secondary wounds. The heat-shrinkable medical dressing structure helps lessen pain and there will not be any scarring from sutures. It is easy to use and saves time and effort.

A pressure bandage including an elastic sheet having a first coefficient of elasticity and an adhesive side. The pressure bandage may also include a resilient pad having a second coefficient of elasticity and affixed to the adhesive side of the elastic sheet. The elastic sheet has a first predetermined shape that is configured to be applied to a corresponding anatomical location on the body of a patient. The first coefficient of elasticity and the second coefficient of elasticity are related such that, when the elastic sheet is stretched and adhered to the body of the patient, the resilient pad applies a predetermined amount of pressure to the body of the patient.

The present invention relates generally to first aid articles and more specifically tourniquets suitable for one handed application. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a tourniquet having a base defining first and second ends. A constricting band is attached to and extends from the first end of the base. A handle is engaged with the constricting band. The constricting band engages a self cinching buckle which includes polygonal frame member and a self cinching member engaged with the polygonal frame member. A hook member is attached to the first end of the base and is configured to engage the polygonal frame member.

An elastic bandage includes an elastic, elongated material having an elongated length substantially longer than a width of the material. The elastic bandage further includes an engagement means joined to a first side surface of the elongated material and being sized and adapted for the elongated material to be pulled around.

The present invention provides a hemostatic composite sponge comprising oxidized cellulose and an essentially gelatin-free bioadhesive material stably associated with said sponge and present in an organized pattern on said sponge.
