  • Patent number: 6257240
    Abstract: A combination medical protective guard and self-contained support for providing a painless access to a wound site, medical device or surgical site or protecting the site. The combination is adaptable for conforming to various parts of the anatomy of a human or an animal body and eliminates the use of adhesives. The support includes an elongated bidirectional wrap having hook fasteners at a first end for engaging a portion of a loop like material along a length of a second end of the wrap. The wrap allows for infinite adjustment along its length for either loosening or tightening the wrap when the site guard is received over the wound site or the infusion site. Also, the wrap may include a window opening with sides of the window opening received around a top portion of the protective guard. The window opening is used for viewing the site through the top of the protective guard.

  • Patent number: 5918599
    Abstract: A tracheostomy tube dressing and support device unit used for holding a tracheostomy tube in place and holding a primary wound dressing, such as a sterile gauze pad, next to a tube insertion site in the front of a patient's neck. The unit includes an elastic bi-directional wrap stretchable in opposite directions along a length of the wrap. One end of the wrap includes hook fasteners for engaging an opposite end of the wrap and holding it in place around the neck. The wrap includes a window opening with a pair of hook fastener strips attached to opposite sides of the window opening and on an outside of the wrap. The hook fastener strips are used for releasable receipt through flange openings in opposite sides of a tracheostomy tube flange. When the hook fastener strips are threaded through the flange openings, the strips are secured to loop fastener landing pads thus holding the tracheostomy tube firmly in place.

  • Patent number: 5843018
    Abstract: A disposable sterile emollient carrier device for delivering an application of an emollient is described. The carrier device is to be used for treatment of simple and/or complex cutaneous injuries and disorders on different parts of the human body. The disposable emollient carrier device includes an elongated bidirectional (stretches longitudinally) wrap having a bonded or movable emollient carrier platform thereon. The carrier platform may be either a medical grade foam sheeting surface or a porous mesh pocket. The foam sheeting surface allows the emollient to be applied directly to it, and then the combination applied to an intended area to be treated. Similarly, the mesh pocket receives the emollient therein and the emollient is dispensed through a porous front surface of the pocket to the wound. Both the foam sheeting surface and the mesh pocket include an impermeable back surface to prevent the emollient from bleeding onto the wrap.
