Abstract
Tubular bandage, in particular a finger or toe bandage which is formed as a tube comprising an outer layer which is connected to an inner layer, and wherein the outer layer has a diameter and an elasticity such that the bandage can be clamped adhesive-free around the body part to be treated, in the particular, said finger or said toe, and wherein the inner layer is made of an elastic wound-protective material, wherein said outer layer is made of an air-permeable and water-repellent material, and wherein, at the open endings, said outer layer extends in the longitudinal direction over the inner layer over a distance of more than 0.5 mm, such that the outer layer touches the body part to be treated, in particular a finger or toe, with its endings when applied.
Claims15
A tubular bandage which extends along a longitudinal axis, and which is open at two endings, wherein said tube comprises a radial outer layer which is connected to a radial inner layer, and wherein the outer layer has a diameter and an elasticity such that the bandage can be clamped adhesive-free around a body part to be treated, and wherein the inner layer is made of an elastic wound-protective material, characterized, in that said outer layer is made of an air-permeable and water-repellent material, and in that, at every point at the open endings, said outer layer extends in the longitudinal direction over the inner layer over a distance of more than 0.5 mm, such that by the combination of distance, diameter and elasticity of the outer layer, the latter touches the body part to be treated with its endings when applied, in order to close off the inner layer from the environment.
