Nail and Nail Bed Protecting Bandage

A combined bandage comprising:

• an attachment portion configured to overlie and circumscribe a human digit having an injured nail and nail bed having a plurality of extensions such that the attachment portion is configured in the shape of an “H” with each pair of opposing elongate extensions aligned along the verticals of the “H” being adapted to laterally wrap around the injured digit in spaced apart alignment such that the distal ends of each elongate extension overlaps its paired extension for securing said combined bandage in place leaving the fingertip exposed;
• a wound dressing portion attached to and centered on the surface of the attachment portion configured to face and contact the injured nail and nail bed;
• and
• a sleeve formed by a transparent rectangular material adhered to the central exterior surface of the attachment portion for retaining a protective portion within having an open side for receiving the protective portion, said protective portion sized and configured to overlie the injured nail and nail bed and being retained in position over the attachment portion by sliding the protective portion into the formed exterior sleeve for providing a solid and wound dressing reinforcing surface configured to protect the injured nail and nail bed from further injury through direct force, pressure or incidental striking.
