WOUND COVERING

摘要

A bandage wrap (10, 40, 300, 300', 400) in the form of a strip composite material defining a longitudinal direction includes a longitudinally continuous band (18, 48, 330, 330', 430) of loop-engageable fastener elements (14, 42, 332, 332') a longitudinally continuous strip of loop material (22, 52, 314, 414) and a longitudinally continuous band of wound dressing (24, 54, 336, 436) spaced from both longitudinal edges of the bandage wrap and extending from a side (20, 50, 328, 428) of the bandage wrap opposite the fastener elements. A reclosable wound covering assembly includes a frame member (102) defining a central aperture (110), the frame having a first and a second broad surface (114, 116), loop-engageable fastener elements (112) extending from the first broad surface about a perimeter of the aperture, and an adhesive (118) disposed on the second broad surface for adhering the frame member to skin (101) and a wound covering (104) including a loop material (122) engageable by the fastener elements and a wound dressing (124) permanently attached to the loop material, the loop material being sized and shaped to cover the aperture (110) and to overlap the perimeter for releasably engaging the loop material with the frame member, the wound dressing being arranged to be received in the aperture when the loop material is engaged by the fastener elements about the perimeter of the aperture. Such an assembly can be adhesive free by including loop engageable fastening straps (120, 132). Methods of making a bandage wrap and a reclosable wound covering assembly are also disclosed.
