ABSTRACT:
A compress type bandage differs from regular bandages of this type in that the bandage portion is formed of gauze having substantial longitudinal elasticity, sewn to opposite edges of a pad having two absorbent layers, at least one of which has sufficient tensile strength that tension from the bandage tails is transmitted through the pad material rather than the gauze. The multiple layers of the pad provide pockets useful for the application of medicaments, splinting and other uses, one pocket being subject to the bandage tension and the other being relatively uncompressed. In an alternative embodiment, at least the outer layer of the pad material is formed into a loop which is sewn to the gauze at a single location extending in both longitudinal directions against the gauze so that the loop can be folded upon itself to form a double thickness transverse pad.
