  • Patent number: 5897519
    Abstract: An intravenous securing device and secondary wound dressing for holding intravenous needle tubing and catheter tubing in place in a variety of anatomic locations on the human body. The securing device and secondary wound dressing is used without the need of adhesives. The intravenous securing device and secondary wound dressing consists of an elongated bi-directional wrap stretchable in opposite directions along a length of the wrap. The wrap includes a window opening therethrough which is sufficient in size to allow for visual inspection of the skin entry site of a needle or a catheter without having to remove the wrap. The wrap is washable and reusable. The bi-directional wrap is adaptable for conforming to various parts of the anatomy of a patient and includes releasable hook fasteners at one end of the wrap for securing the wrap around an arm, a hand, a chest, a neck and other parts of the anatomy.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 4934383
    Abstract: Electrode such as a TENS or post-operative electrode including a backing of plastic foam or dielectric material with an adhesive layer, an electrical communication conductor member such as a metal stud, such as of aluminum or silver, a thin polymer material with a conducting layer such as carbon or a conductive medium, an insulation retention disc coated with adhesive on both sides, a liner release, a gel protector, and an adhesive cover. The foil conductive member and polymer member are thin, providing for flexibility and low profile, and are substantially of like identical surface area. The conductive coating can be either Karaya, rodel or any conductive coating with a liner, or the user can apply a gel. The electrode is very flexible and very conforming to the surface of the skin of the individual user.

  • Patent number: 4422461
    Abstract: Electrode such as a post-operative electrode including a combination of plastic foam with an adhesive layer, an electrical communication conductor member such as a wire or a thin foil member such as aluminum or silver, a thin polycarbonate member or members loaded with a conducting material such as carbon, a conductive medium, and a liner member. The foil member and polycarbonate member are thin providing for flexibility and low profile, and are substantially of like identical surface area. The conductive member can be either karaya, electrode gel, ionic polymer, or other like medium. The electrode is very flexible and very conforming to the surface of the skin of the individual user.
