The multipurpose medical wrap serves as a dressing, covering, splint holder, and/or various other emergency medical uses. The wrap includes a central pad having two layers of material defining a plurality of internal pockets therebetween for the insertion of various treatment packs and/or splints therein. The pad includes a relatively soft sheet to protect the area to which it is applied, and a relatively thin, non-insulating sheet that allows the pad to be reversed for use in applying hot and cold packs and the like. An end flap extends from each end of the central pad for additional protection and/or treatment. A plurality of laterally overlapping straps extends from each side of the central pad. Corresponding opposite straps are interwoven to secure the wrap to the body, some straps being used to form a sling and/or torso securing swath when the wrap is used as an arm treatment. |

1. A multipurpose medical wrap, comprising:
a pad having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and mutually opposed first and second lateral edges, the pad being formed from a first sheet of material and a second sheet of material, the first sheet of material of the pad is formed from thick soft fabric having thermal insulation properties, the second sheet of material is formed from a thin porous ply having thermal conductivity properties, the first and second sheets of material defining a central pocket therebetween extending from the first end to the second end of the pad and first and second splint sleeves extending from the first end to the second end of the pad, the central pocket being larger than each of the first and second splint sleeves, the splint sleeves being adjacent, parallel and contiguous to the respective lateral edges of the pad, the central pocket and each of the splint sleeves having at least one continuously open end; a plurality of first edge straps extending outwardly from the first lateral edge of the pad, wherein each of the first edge straps has at least one edge overlapping at least one edge of another of the first edge straps, all of the first edge straps being joined to the first lateral edge of the pad in a continuous array; and a plurality of second edge straps extending outwardly from the second lateral edge of the pad, wherein each of the second edge straps has at least one edge overlapping at least one edge of another of the second edge straps, all of the second edge straps being joined to the second lateral edge of the pad in a continuous array. |
