Bandage for pediatric analgesia

Abstract

A bandage has a plurality of prongs extending from a portion of a bottom side of the bandage base. A depression region can be formed on the top side of the bandage base, opposite the plurality of prongs, where depressing the depression region can cause the prongs to interact with the user's skin, typically at a wound site. The depression region can be a raised dome having a button in a center region thereof, wherein depressing the raised dome beyond a given depth causes the raised dome to press the plurality of prongs against the skin of the user and automatically move back to its undepressed configuration. The prongs can have sufficient sharpness to create a slightly unpleasant sensation but can be dull enough not to create any damage to skin. Such counter irritation can provide an analgesic effect for the user.
