Abstract: An absorbent pad. A first side of the absorbent pad is configured to abut a patient at a fluid discharging area or other location. Discharging fluid passes through a fluid-permeable liner of the absorbent pad into absorbent material. Liquid may be placed in the absorbent material prior to placing it on a patient and heated or cooled. An overwrap may be wrapped around the patient to hold the hot or cold compress in place while absorbing discharging fluid from the patient. A fluid barrier at a second side of the absorbent pad, parallel with the first side, prevents liquid from passing out of the absorbent pad at the second side. A coupler having hooks is disposed on the second side of the absorbent pad and is configured to engage with fibers of the overwrap in order to secure the absorbent pad in place with respect to the patient and overwrap.

Abstract: A portable coil nail protector holds a single coil of nails and keeps the coil in the shape necessary to fit in a coil nail gun. The protector includes a base upon which a coil of nails can be placed, a lid attached by a hinge to the base for movement relative to the base between a closed position over and about a coil of nails on the base for holding the coil of nails in the protector and an open position permitting ready access to and removal of the coil of nails from the protector. The base includes at least one elongated opening therein for attaching the protector to a person's belt. Opening the protector by moving the lid relative to the base exposes the coil of nails for easy removal and fast installation into a gun.
