| abstract |
Novel pressure bandages are described comprising either a substantially triangular prism-shaped section of compressible, resilient material which has been adhered to a carrier tape or a substantially rectangular prism-shaped section of compressible, resilient material which has been adhered to a carrier tape in a manner which causes the section to assume a substantially triangular prism shape. Novel methods for making the same are also described. The pressure bandages, since they provide localized pressure to the surface of skin, are particularly suitable for impeding the bleeding from minor wounds. |
