ABSTRACT:
A bandage for protecting an injury to the palm of the hand, especially the concave part of the palm, comprises an outer adhesively coated sheet having a central area to which a gauze pad is affixed to cover the wound, and symmetrically arranged branches, also adhesively coated, for securing the bandage in place securely in a manner to permit maximum use of the hand while making sure the pad stays in place in the hollow of the palm. Radially extending arms, symmetrically arranged, are provided respectively to attach to the base of the hand or wrist and to extend between the third and fourth fingers; other arms or branches extend around the base of the thumb and around the opposite side of the hand, still others are selectively attachable to index or little fingers (depending on which hand, right or left, is being bandaged) and further arms are designed to wrap around either between thumb and forefinger or around the hand under or near the little finger knuckle. Supplemental padding may be added for a deeply concave palm or for thicker pad protection, when needed.
