Embodiment Construction

[0033] The drawings forming a part of the original disclosure herein, see Figures 1-4 therein, show an oval shaped bandage 14, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, comprising a skin contact layer 16, which is Made of a flexible film, a layer of adhesive material is adhered to the skin contact layer. Adhesive material layer 18 is protected by easily removable liner 20, liner 20 is divided into two separate halves by slit 22, and slit 22 extends across liner 20, thereby in the process of attaching bandage 14 to human skin. The two halves of liner 20 can be removed separately during the process. As an alternative, one part of the liner 20 may be superimposed with the other part along the position where the slit 22 is located, and the superimposed part includes a folded flap 23, indicated by a dotted line in the figure, in order to facilitate the lining Layer 20 is removed from skin contact layer 20, and the bandage is applied. As a preferred dimension, the length...

Abstract

A self-adhesive bandage for prevention and treatment of skin breakdown by relief of friction and shear forces. The bandage includes a pair of thin film membranes, one of which is a portion of a dome and is free to move a limited distance with respect to the other. The dome is located on a skin contact layer that can be adhered to one's skin. A method of making such a bandage includes forming a dome in a flexible film and adhesively attaching a skirt surrounding the dome to a skin contact layer. Similar friction reducing devices may be incorporated in shoes, other clothing, or sports equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is concerned with the protection and management of inflammation, discomfort, pain, and skin damage caused by shear and friction forces, as well as by application of pressure to certain areas of the skin. Background technique [0002] Friction and shear are two important factors in causing damage to the skin and underlying tissues, leading to erythema (rash), blisters, and pressure ulcers. Friction and shear forces are usually generated at the interface supporting the skin, for example, in the contact area between the skin and other surfaces, such as surfaces in ill-fitting footwear, bedding surfaces , the surface of wheelchairs, the surface of clothing linings, the surface of prosthetic (artificial limb) sleeve linings. Skin lesions can also occur after rubbing of the skin in contact with underwear, sports equipment, and clothing, as can the skin of hands operating industrial equipment and machinery, as well as in many other situ...
