Abstract
An athlete's foot bandage is set forth utilizing a generally "T" shaped configuration for securement between adjacent toes of an individual. The bandage utilizes a first and second horizontally aligned first and second leg with a medially positioned downwardly depending shank therefrom having secured thereto a medicant pad secured to outer surfaces of the opposed sides of the shank spaced somewhat above lower terminal edges of the shank to position the treated pads to confronting surfaces of adjacent toes to simultaneously space the toes to prevent reinfection therebetween and apply an anti-fungal medicant to preselected areas.
Claims2
A bandage particularly for the application of an anti-fungal medication to confronting surfaces of adjacent toes of a foot comprising,
- a first elongate upper leg secured adjacent a second elongate upper leg, and
- a first downwardly extending lower leg contiguously secured to and coextensive with an adjacent second downwardly extending leg, and
- said first elongate upper leg joined to said first downwardly extending lower leg at a first junction, and said second elongate upper leg joined to said second downwardly extending lower leg at a second junction, and
- a first medicated pad secured to an exterior surface of said first leg, and
- a second medicated pad secured to an exterior surface of said second leg wherein said medicated pads are oriented for application of said anti-fungal medication to said surfaces, and
- wherein said first elongate upper leg is secured in a mirror image orientation adjacent said second elongate upper leg with said first and second junctions secured adjacent one another, and
- wherein said first downwardly extending lower leg is secured to said second downwardly extending lower leg at interior surfaces of said first and second downwardly extending lower legs with an adhesive to secure said first and said second downwardly extending lower legs together, and
- wherein a first removable strip is secured to an interior surface of said first elongate upper leg extending between a distal end of said first elongate upper leg to said first junction, and a second peel-away removable strip secured to an interior surface of said second elongate upper leg and extending between a forward end of said second elongate upper leg and said second junction, and
- wherein said first pad is secured to said exterior surface of said first leg above and spaced from a lowermost edge of said first downwardly extending lower leg and spaced below said first junction, and said second medicated pad secured to said exterior surface of said downwardly extending lower leg spaced a distance from a lower edge of said second downwardly extending lower leg and spaced below said second junction, and
- wherein said bandage is of a "T" shaped configuration.
