Claims24
A multi-layer wrap providing gel treatment and pressure therapy comprising:
- a gel layer having a skin contacting surface and an opposite surface;
- and,
- a carrier material in supportive contact with said opposite surface of said gel layer, wherein said carrier is stretchable and provides compressive support for placement of the wrap to a part of a body to be treated.
A multi-layer wrap providing gel treatment and pressure therapy comprising:
- a gel layer having a skin contacting surface;
- a moisture wicking material;
- and,
- a carrier material in supportive contact with said gel layer and said wicking material, wherein said carrier is stretchable and provides compressive support for placement of the wrap to a part of a body to be treated.
A method of providing skin treatment and musculo-skeletal support comprising:
- wrapping a bandage around a portion of the body to be treated, said bandage having a gel layer having surface imperfections provided on a skin contacting surface and a carrier layer bonded to an opposing surface of said gel layer, said carrier being both firm and elastic;
- stretching said bandage around said portion of the body;
- securing said bandage in a closed position;
- and,
- migrating moisture through the surface imperfections and away from the portion of the body being treated.
A method of providing skin treatment and musculo-skeletal support comprising:
- wrapping a bandage around a portion of the body to be treated, said bandage having a gel layer for contacting the skin of the body portion to be treated, a moisture wicking material, and a carrier bonded to said gel and said wicking material, said carrier being both rigid and elastic;
- stretching said bandage around said portion of the body;
- securing said bandage in a closed position;
- and,
- wicking moisture away from the portion of the body being treated.
