ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a haemostatic circumcision bandage comprising a bandage body made of a pliable waterproof material and of a unitary configuration. The bandage has a shaft supporting portion adapted to be wrapped around an entire penile shaft protecting it against contamination and a body attachment portion connected to the shaft supporting portion, which is adapted to be temporarily attached to a wearer's body and provided to keep the bandage in place. The bandage also has a resilient pad placed on the shaft supporting portion, which is adapted to facilitate haemostasis by means of applying a gentle even compression, as well as an absorbent pad placed over the resilient pad, which is provided to help absorb blood and promote healing a wound caused by circumcision. The body attachment portion further comprises a central portion adapted to be attached to a scrotum area and two symmetrical wing portions located on both sides of the central portion and adapted to be attached to the abdomen and inguinal areas. The shaft supporting portion further comprises a tab portion provided for easy removal of the bandage, and the resilient pad is made of rubber foam or sponge.
