Claims16
An article of manufacture comprising:
- a piece of material having a perimeter side, a first surface, a second surface, and one or more openings, the piece of material forming a medical pad configured to allow treatment and healing of bedsores and to prevent development of bedsores wherein:
- the piece of material is sized and shaped to position on a bedsore or an area susceptible to the development of a bedsore;
- the perimeter side defines the perimeter of the piece of material extending between the first and second surfaces and has a rectangular shape;
- the first and second surfaces extend opposite to each other between the perimeter side in a concave shaped portion that extends between portions adjacent to the perimeter side of the piece of material such that the first surface has a concave shape extending between portions adjacent to the perimeter side of the piece of material such that the first surface has a concave shape extending in a direction towards the second surface and the second surface has a concave shape extending between portions adjacent to the perimeter side of the piece of material such that the second surface has a concave shape extending in a direction away from the first surface, wherein the concave shaped portion is sized and shaped to position over a bedsore or an area susceptible to the development of a bedsore;
- the one or more openings are positioned within the concave shaped portion and the one or more openings extend between and through the first and second surfaces;
- the one or more openings are sized and shaped to allow air and vapor to pass through the one or more openings such that a bedsore or an area susceptible to the development of a bedsore can breathe while covered by the piece of material;
- and
- the piece of material comprises a silicone material or a silicone gel material such that the concave portion is flexible.
