Abstract: An adhesive pressure bandage for treating a wound or reduce scarring of a skin of a patient, the pressure bandage including a pressure member made of an elastic material. The pressure member comprising a curved central portion and two end portions. The pressure member also having two sides, an inner surface facing towards the patient and an outer surface facing away from the patient, and between the inner surface and the skin of the patient is an adhesive to attach the pressure member to the skin of the patient. Between the inner surface of the pressure member and the skin of the patient is a treatment device that is in contact with the wound, after the adhesive pressure bandage is applied to the skin of the patient, this treatment device is located between a central portion of the pressure member and the wound.

Abstract: A pre-stressed pressure device for treating a wound or reduce scarring of a skin of a patient includes a substrate assembly having a first surface, a pressure member having a curve in a central portion, the pressure member being secured to the substrate assembly; a treatment device for exerting a pressure on the wound or the scarring, the treatment device being connected to a first area of the first surface; and an adhesive for applying the pressure bandage to the skin, the adhesive being disposed on a second area of the first surface, the first and second areas being non-overlapping.

Abstract: A labeling system includes one or more labels, each having a front side and a back side. The front side includes a first indicia of an object such as a medication. The front side and/or the back side includes a second indicia of the object, such as a matrix or linear bar code. The back side has an adhesive on a portion thereof opposite the first indicia. The back side also has an area free of adhesive. The area free of adhesive is aligned with the second indicia.

Abstract: A pre-stressed pressure device for treating a wound or reducing scarring of a skin of a patient. the pre-stressed pressure device is composed of a pressure member having a curved state and a non-curved state, the pressure member having an inner surface and an outer surface. The pressure member has a central portion and first and second end portions, the central portion having a curved shape when the pressure member is in the curved state. The pre-stressed pressure device also contains a substrate assembly having a first surface side and a second surface side, the first surface side of the substrate assembly being secured to the inner surface of the pressure member and wherein the substrate assembly is no shorter than the pressure member.
