Abstract: A bandage for the treatment of dermal scars, keloids, wounds or abrasions by contacting the skin of the user. The bandage includes a flexible member having a first side and a second side and further having an adhesive located on the first side. A scar treatment pad such as a layer of silicone elastomer is attached by the adhesive to the first side of the flexible member. The bandage is used by placing the first side of the flexible member in contact with the skin of the user such that the layer of silicone elastomer substantially contacts a scarred area of the skin. The adhesive removably attaches the first side of the flexible member substantially in contact with an unscarred area of the skin of the user. The layer of silicone elastomer attached to the first side of the flexible member improves the cosmetic and functional aspects of the scarred area of the skin of the user.

Abstract: An energy absorbing subassembly fastened securely to the front and rear of an automotive vehicle having a load isolation member extending laterally across the vehicle, and at least one load transferring web carried within the load isolation member. Impact forces are spread over a relatively large volume of load isolation material because loads are transferred there through the relatively large projected area of the load transferring web.
