## Abstract

The bandage assembly includes a panel that may be positioned over a wound. An adhesive layer is coupled to the panel. The adhesive layer engages a user's skin. The panel is retained on the wound. A button is coupled to the panel. The button is engaged by the user. The button transfers direct pressure to the wound. The button stops bleeding of the wound.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A bandage assembly for applying direct pressure to a wound, said assembly comprising:
a panel comprising a top planar surface, a bottom planar surface, and an exterior edge therebetween;
an adhesive layer coupled to the bottom planar surface of the panel, the adhesive layer configured to retain the bandage assembly on the wound; and
a button extending from the top planar surface of the panel, the button configured to transfer pressure to the wound to stop bleeding of the wound, the button comprising a resiliently compressible material, the button comprising a curved surface and a flat surface, and an uninterrupted periphery at an interface between the button and the top planar surface of the panel, the panel completely surrounding the uninterrupted periphery at the interface;
wherein the curved surface of the button forms an entire exterior surface of the bandage assembly extending beyond a plane of the top planar surface,
wherein the panel comprises a button opening extending from the top planar surface to the bottom planar surface of the panel, the button opening defined by a bounding edge, and
wherein the button is disposed within the opening and coupled to the bounding edge of the panel, the button configured to transfer direct pressure to the wound.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The bandage assembly of claim 1, wherein a bottom surface of the button is coplanar with the bottom planar surface of the panel.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The bandage assembly of claim 1, wherein the panel is square-shaped.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The bandage assembly of claim 1, further comprising a pad removably coupled to the adhesive layer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The bandage assembly of claim 1, wherein the button is hemispherical.
