Abstract: A washable and contoured nursing pad which can be machine washed and dried, and therefore resuable and economical. The nursing pad is molded into a contoured shape for a body-hugging fit inside the wearer's bra. The nursing pad consists of multiple layers of different types of fabrics for different functions, including a decorative and slip resistant lace outer layer, a waterproof second layer, a fluid absorbent third layer, and a soft comfortable inner layer.

Abstract: An areola/nipple surfical wound protector including a sterile pad having an upper surface, a lower non-stick surface and a centrally-located pad opening extending through it. A transparent cone-shaped nipple protector member having an outwardly-disposed flange at its base portion is secured via the flange to generally the upper pad surface and over the pad opening. The nipple protector member has an opening in its base portion, a dome with holes therethrough at its radially opposite end and an interior configured to receive the patient's nipple up through the opening and into the protector member. Spaced adhesive tape strips extend radially out from the pad for securing the pad and protector member to the patient's breast and over her nipple. Alternatively, the dome can be configured to be flatter on its upper surface and have a large medication opening through the center thereof and a surrounding rasied annular rim having a plurality of suture holes therethrough.

Abstract: The device comprises a resilient, annular, adhesive-backed planar pad with a central opening, and a resilient protective covering which overlies this central opening. A manually operated control device is used to spread the resilient pad radially prior to the application of the device to the skin around a wound. The control device is then released to permit the pad and resilient covering to contract, thereby drawing together the opposing edges of the wound. The covering shields the wound from contamination, and the wound closure device additionally restricts residual bleeding by virtue of the adhesive sealing action provided. The covering defines a chamber or space over the wound which can contain medication, and the covering can be made transparent to permit observation of the wound without the necessity of removal of the wound-closing device.
