ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for retaining wound dressing to a wound on a patient's body. The apparatus includes a resilient framework (11) positionable proximate to the wound. The framework (11) has a body engaging surface (25) for selective engagment with the patient's body and a top surface (20) opposite the body engaging surface (20). The framework (11) presents a dressing receiving opening (12) continually accessible from the top surface (20) when the body engaging surface (25) is engaged with the patient's body. Straps (13) are provided for retaining the wound dressing (15) by bridging a portion of the dressing receiving opening (12). Releasable fasteners (23, 24) removably secure the straps (13) to a portion of the framework (11).
