ABSTRACT:
A medication ointment applicator comprising a length of plastic film to which is attached a backing made of a length of elastic mesh material. The ointment is applied to the surface of the plastic film which is engaged with the skin of the user, the elastic material backing being wrapped around, for example, the user's ankle or wrist such as to hold the plastic film in firm engagement with the skin for absorption of the medication ointment through the skin. Preferably, the plastic film is provided with a scale enabling the user to measure the amount of ointment being applied as a result of measuring the length of a ribbon of ointment expelled from a dispenser tube, and the surface of the plastic film to which the ointment is applied is textured, for example, by ridges being formed on the surface, to help contain the ointment within the edges of the plastic film. The band of elastic mesh material is provided with fastening means such as, for example, a patch of hook and loop material on one end and lateral strips of complementary hook and loop material at the other end such that the backing of elastic mesh material can be wrapped tight and held in position around the limb of a person.
