<p>The axillary dressing enables secure, comfortable placement of a dressing covering the axillary area (1) after axillary dissection breast cancer surgery, breast implantation placement through an axillary approach, or any other procedure incising the axillary area. The axillary dressing is also applicable for non-surgical lesions to the axilla. The dressing has a bandage section (11) that completely covers the affected area. The bandage section is secured to the axillary area using soft straps (17, 18, 28) that are preferably partially elastic and sewn to the bandage section on one end and attached using hook material at the other end. One strap (18) is designed to go around the torso and another strap (17) is designed to go over the affected shoulder. The straps are designed to be fastened from the front to reduce difficulty in affixing the dressing and enable easy adjustment of the straps. The axillary dressing is applicable to either axilla. The axillary dressing may also be combined with a breast surgery dressing to create an axillary breast dressing (111) to cover both an axilla and the breast area (1) to facilitate recovery of a lesion.</p> |
