Roll form medical bandaging product, method of constructing same and container for roll form bandaging product

摘要

An outer container (31) formed of moisture-impervious material having an elongate product dispensing sleeve (32) having a moisture-proof sealable opening (33) on one end and an enlarged product storage package (34) communicating with the dispensing sleeve (32). A medical material (14) is positioned within sleeve (32) and includes a substrate (16) formed of a suitable number of overlaid layers of a woven or knitted fabric such as fiberglass. Substrate (16) is contained within a tubular wrapping (18) formed of a soft, flexible non-woven fiber such as polypropylene. Substrate (16) is impregnated or coated with a reactive system which remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions but which hardens upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self-supporting structure.
