ABSTRACT:
A dressing is described for covering the axilla and upper torso areas of a patient. The dressing is formed of a sheet of conformable material and includes a rear back portion which covers at least part of the patient's back. The rear back portion forms a first sleeve portion. At least one front chest portion is provided which covers at least a part of the patient's chest, the front chest portion also forming a second sleeve portion. The first and second sleeve portions together form a generally fitted body dressing which includes at least a partial length of sleeve to receive an arm of the patient. Hook and loop fastener tapes, which are preferably color coded, are used to releasably secure the first and second sleeve portions and for selectively opening the sleeve to expose the shoulder, axilla and upper torso of the patient. In this manner, the dressing can be quickly and safely placed on and removed from the patient with minimal inconvenience and trauma to the injuries sustained by the patient.
