A system and method for donning and labeling a body cast provides a protective body cast that is labeled. The system and method provides a protective body cast that forms padded protection around the body of a bedridden patient; and especially around the hip, buttock, and lower extremity pressure points. The body cast is composed of a nanomaterial and serves as an envelope for an inner lining of a softer material such as a composite foam rubber. The body cast is sectioned into a multi-layered enclosing cloth support wrap that is fabricated from a nanomaterial, an inner surface having padding, and at least one auxiliary padding that detachably attaches to the body cast for additional padding. Labels detachably attach to the lower portion of the support wrap for indicating information pertinent to the patient. A caregiver accesses the label to read and mark directly on a bedridden patient.

A dressing may include a manifold and a spacer fabric. The manifold may have a first side configured to face the tissue site, a second side opposite the first side, a thickness between the first side and the second side, a first portion, and a second portion. The spacer fabric may extend between the first portion and the second portion and may comprise a first layer coupled to the first portion, a second layer coupled to the second portion, and a spacer layer extending between the first layer and the second layer. The first layer and the second layer may be perpendicular to the first side of the manifold. The dressing may be configured to contract more in a first direction than in a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to an extension direction of the spacer fabric. Other dressings, apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

A bandage includes a top film, an absorbent layer and a perforated adhesive lower layer positioned under the absorbent layer for adhering the bandage to a user's skin. The absorbent layer includes at least one incision that improves the flexibility of the bandage.

A bandage configured to be administered from a continuous roll, comprising: (I) a first layer of flexible webbed material, the first layer including a self-adhesive disposed on a top surface; and (II) a second layer of flexible padded material adhered to the first layer along a longitudinal axis by the self-adhesive, the second layer having a width less than a width of the first layer so that a portion of the self-adhesive is exposed on each longitudinal side of the second layer; wherein the self-adhesive may releasably adhere to a bottom surface of the first layer in a rolled form so that, when unrolled, an adhesive bond is broken free of damaging the first layer; and wherein, when the self-adhesive is bonded to itself and opposing adhesive portions, the resulting peel strength is greater than a peel strength when the self-adhesive is bonded to skin.

Dressings and kits for use in wound therapy and negative-pressure therapy comprising a manifold layer comprising porous open-cell liquid permeable foam and a polymer composition The polymer composition comprises a polymer and an active agent, such as collagen and oxidized regenerated cellulose. The foam may be felted. Methods of making and using the dressings are also provided.

Vacuum dressings with a guide tube are provided for implantable medical devices that inhibit infection associated with in-dwelling devices while encouraging healing of the incision around the device. The vacuum dressings mitigate pooling of fluids that harbor bacteria from between the outer diameter of an inserted implantable medical device and the inner diameter of a guide tube and also in the cylindrical gap, between the outer diameter of an inserted implantable medical device and the inner wall of the subcutaneous tunnel, which remains in fluid communication with skin microflora. Implantable medical devices may also illustratively include a variety of catheters, such as venous access, peritoneal dialysis, and other indwelling venous access catheters that require skin penetration; cannulas; Steinman pins; Kirschner wires; and cardiac assist device lines.

A convenient sports tape, comprising a package body and a tape body; the package body has at least one transparent top sheet, a bottom sheet matching the top sheet with its edge connected to that of the top sheet, and a housing space formed between the top sheet and the bottom sheet, the housing space can store and clamp the tape body; the tape body is provided with at least one adhesion section, and a positioning section configured on one end of the adhesion section; the tape body has three layers in total, made up of a tape layer, an adhesive layer, and a releasing layer of the same shape; the tape layer can be configured according to the marbling of lean flesh.

The present disclosure relates to wound bandages. More specifically, the present disclosure describes a vacuum sealed bandage having a film layer that is manipulable into a wound by way of negative pressure imparted by a removable medical syringe. The vacuum sealed bandage of the present disclosure does not have a vacuum pump, does not constantly apply negative pressure to the wound through an electro-mechanical device or vacuum pump, and/or does not have chords or tubes positioned to opposite sides of the film layer or extending from one side of the film layer to another side of a film layer where the chord or tube is positioned between the film and the wound.

An athletic tape product for securing or supporting a human or animal body part is provided that includes a substrate impregnated with an aqueous elastomer dispersion comprising cooling agents.

A bandage includes a top film, an absorbent layer and a perforated adhesive lower layer positioned under the absorbent layer for adhering the bandage to a user's skin. The absorbent layer includes at least one incision that improves the flexibility of the bandage.
