984,465. Surgical bandages. BAKA MANUFACTURING CO. Inc. Sept. 7, 1962 [Sept. 8, 1961], No. 34423/62. Heading A5R. A binder or elastic bandage adapted to encircle part of the body of a wearer is made of at least two panels of material stretchable in the encircling direction and joined by non- stretchable means which permits the panels to move relatively to each other perpendicular to the direction of stretch. In a wrist band constructed in this way two panels 60, 62 of material capable of stretching in a direction around the wrist, are each joined at their ends by a seam 68 to form closed bands and are joined to each other, with a slight spacing, by diagonal stitching 64. When the wrist is flexed the panels are permitted to move slightly towards or away from each other without changing their original positions on the wrist so that the bandage does not tend to move as a whole one way or the other. The same principle may be applied to a trunk binder made, in effect, from three vertically spaced, parallel panels, joined by stitching in the same way. Such a binder may have rows of hook and eye fasteners to facilitate putting on and taking off.
