ABSTRACT:
A bandage for wrapping an amputee's stump to reduce the potential for swelling and deformation of the stump after amputation. The bandage includes an elongate wrap, at least one strip attached to the wrap and means for releasably fastening the wrap around the stump. The wrap has a length sufficient to wrap around the stump and a resilience sufficient to retain the bandage adjacent an end of the stump when the wrap is stretched around the stump. The strip extends laterally outward from the wrap. The strip has a width generally equal to the diameter of the stump and a length sufficient to wrap around the end of the stump when the wrap is wrapped around the stump adjacent the end of the stump. The strip is sufficiently resilient to compress the stump to reduce the potential for swelling and deformation of the stump when the strip is stretched around the end of the stump.
