Embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to non-sticky, adhesive-free wraps. Wraps disclosed in this application are designed to stick to themselves by implementing a material that comprises fibers on one side and loops on the other. The selected materials have high sheer strength and low breakaway strength, so they are easy to put on and take off and will not fall off accidentally. Wraps of the inventive subject matter additionally include regularly spaced lines that facilitates application of known magnitudes of pressure. By using a key that is tuned to a specific wrap, users can apply a desired amount of pressure to a limb.

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.

A liner for an orthopedic or prosthetic device includes a core formed from a porous and compressible material, a first layer secured to the first side of the core and forming a first surface to the liner, and a second layer secured to the second side of the core and forming a second surface to the liner. The first and second layers may comprise different properties from one another and be formed from different materials including fabrics and polymeric materials. A polymeric film may be secured to the core or one of the layers to define at least part of a surface of the liner.

A wound closure includes one or more bandages. The one or more bandages include a first bandage and a second bandage. Each of the first bandage and the second bandage include a skin attachment portion having a skin fastener for attaching the bandages to a subject. Each of the first bandage and the second bandage include a closure portion having a closure fastener for attaching the closure portions with one another. The skin fastener and closure fastener may comprise an adhesive. The bandages may comprise a leg for folding over, and attaching to, the attached closure portions to form a secured folded closure. The secured folded closure may be folded generally flat against, and secured with, one of the skin attachment portions.

A tissue interface configured to be positioned at a tissue site is provided. The tissue interface may include a first tissue interface layer, a second tissue interface layer, and a bonding layer disposed between the first tissue interface layer and the second tissue interface layer. The bonding layer may couple the first tissue interface layer to the second tissue interface layer. The interface layers may be bonded together lightly such that the bonding layer is sufficiently strong to hold together a first interface layer and a second interface layer, but weak enough to allow the first tissue interface layer to be separated or detached from the second tissue interface layer when pulled apart by a user. This allows a user to add or remove any number of tissue interface layers to adjust the height of the tissue interface 108 in order to accommodate the depth of a tissue site.

The present invention relates to a medical fixation apparatus for a lesion. According to an embodiment, a medical cast comprises: an expansion band having a predetermined length; a pair of elastic fibers which are coupled to opposite widthwise edges of the expansion band, are coated with a water-curable synthetic resin, and can surround a body part; and a plurality of coupling units, which have a flat shape and, when the pair of elastic fibers surround a body part, are arranged at a predetermined interval along an edge at which the pair of elastic fibers face each other to connect the pair of elastic fibers.

A compression garment for use after cardiothoracic surgery, comprising a body panel configured to lie in proximity to an upper region of a patient and formed from a compression material, and including a front side adjacent to a front upper region of the wearer, and a rear side configured to lie adjacent to a rear upper region of the patient. Further included is a shoulder strap associated with the rear side of the body panel and configured to extend away from the rear side and configured to removably associate with the front side of the body panel, the shoulder strap is adjustable to adjust the extension of the shoulder strap. The garment also includes a pillow formed in the front side, the pillow having a generally oblong shape and sized to project inwardly towards the patient, the pillow configured to apply pressure to the sternal area.

A liner for an orthopedic or prosthetic device includes a core formed from a porous and compressible material, a first layer secured to the first side of the core and forming a first surface to the liner, and a second layer secured to the second side of the core and forming a second surface to the liner. The first and second layers may comprise different properties from one another and be formed from different materials including fabrics and polymeric materials. A polymeric film may be secured to the core or one of the layers to define at least part of a surface of the liner.

A method for treating a wound that includes incorporating a wound dressing comprising a plurality of fibers, each fiber having a length of at least two (2) inches, into a wound to cause the walls of the wound to remain apart and allow the wound to heal from the inside to the outside, and removing the wound exudate.
