20080287852 | WATER RESISTANT ELASTICIZED RETENTION BANDAGE AND UNDERCAST LINER - A fabric substrate suitable for lining between a cast and a person. The fabric substrate includes a pair of opposing faces formed by pillar and inlay stitches. The fabric is constructed at least in part of hydrophobic, water-resistant yarns configured to provide enhanced water resistance and sufficient stretch in both a length and width direction to facilitate conforming the undercast liner around the anatomical shape without wrinkling during application. An intermediate tying layer spans between the opposing faces, and the tying layer includes elastic yarns stitched in a V stitch pattern such that the elastic yarns extend between one opposing fabric face and the other face. | 11-20-2008 |
20090036812 | MEDICAL BANDAGE SUBSTRATE, MEDICAL BANDAGE, AND MEDICAL BANDAGING PRODUCT WITH LOW ABRASION SIDE EDGES AND METHOD - A medical bandaging product, including a sleeve formed of moisture-impervious material and sealable to prevent entry of moisture, and a medical material positioned in the sleeve and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use. The medical material is a substrate having two marginal areas of relatively lower modulus yarns and/or a more open knitted structure to provide reduced abrasion against the skin. A reactive system on the substrate remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure. A soft, flexible protective material covers at least one of the major faces of the substrate along its length to provide a cushioning barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use. | 02-05-2009 |

20090299241 | MEDICAL BANDAGE SUBSTRATE, MEDICAL BANDAGE, AND MEDICAL BANDAGING PRODUCT WITH LOW ABRASION SIDE EDGES, AND METHOD - A medical bandaging product, including a sleeve formed of moisture-impervious material and sealable to prevent entry of moisture, and a medical material positioned in the sleeve and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use. The medical material is a substrate having two marginal areas of relatively lower modulus yarns and/or a more open knitted structure to provide reduced abrasion against the skin. A reactive system on the substrate remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure. A soft, flexible protective material covers at least one of the major faces of the substrate along its length to provide a cushioning barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use. | 12-03-2009 |
20110244748 | WATER RESISTANT MEDICAL BANDAGING PRODUCT - A water resistant article for positioning on an appendage to be treated comprises a knitted body constructed from synthetic yarns is provided, wherein each of the synthetic yarns comprise a bundle of substantially parallel fine monofilaments. | 10-06-2011 |
20120220908 | ORTHOPEDIC PADDING - An orthopedic padding including an elongate spacer fabric having spaced faces interconnected and separated by an intermediate spacer area, the spaced faces having a knitted construction different from a knitted construction of the intermediate spacer area, and the elongate fabric constructed at least in part of hydrophobic monofilament yarn knitted in an open construction for breathability. | 08-30-2012 |
20130211307 | NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY PRODUCT AND METHOD - A negative pressure wound therapy bandage including a three-dimensional knitted fabric formed of fibers that are moisture resistant and that define an exudates transport layer for transporting wound exudates away from a wound. The bandage may further include a non-adherent material adapted for preventing the exudates transport layer from adhering to the wound during therapy. | 08-15-2013 |

20090054817 | LOW DENSITY MEDICAL BANDAGE SUBSTRATE, MEDICAL BANDAGE, AND MEDICAL BANDAGING PRODUCT - A low density fabric substrate for a medical bandaging product. The substrate has a plurality of longitudinally-extending voids formed in the fabric for permitting water penetration through the fabric thickness from one of the major faces to the other major faces. A reactive system is impregnated into or coated onto the substrate and remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure. A soft, flexible protective material covers at least one of the major faces of the substrate along its length to provide a cushioning barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use. | 02-26-2009 |
20090112138 | WATER-RESISTANT ORTHOPEDIC UNDERCAST SLEEVE PRODUCT - A water-resistant orthopedic undercast sleeve that includes a tubular sheet material formed of extruded filaments having water-resistant properties and a thickness sufficient to provide both cushioning and moisture transport in a single layer between a cast and a limb onto which the sleeve is applied. The water resistant properties are achieved by at least one process, including a water-resistant filler, finish or coating applied to the filaments during extrusion, applying a water resistant finish to the finish during extrusion, applying a water resistant finish to the filaments during a subsequent spinning process, or coating the filaments with a water-resistant finish in a separate process. Moisture egress channels are formed in the sheet material for transporting moisture away from the limb, longitudinally along the length of the sleeve, and out of the space between the sleeve and cast. | 04-30-2009 |
20090177137 | WATER RESISTANT UNDERCAST LINER - An undercast liner for being applied to an anatomical shape of a patient and overlaid with a cast material. An elongate fabric has two opposing faces and an intermediate spacer area that both separates and interconnects the opposed faces. The liner is constructed at least in part of hydrophobic, water resistant monofilament yarn for providing enhanced water resistance, light weight, breathability and resistance to collapse and degradation due to moisture and bacteria during extended use to the liner. The liner has sufficient stretch in both a length-wise and width-wise direction to facilitate conforming the undercast liner around the anatomical shape without wrinkling during application. | 07-09-2009 |
20090216163 | NONWOVEN SPLINTING AND CASTING PRODUCT - A medical bandaging product, including a non-woven, fibrous, flexible medical material adapted for being applied and conformed to a body part to be supported, and a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto the medical material. The system remains stable when maintained in a non-activated condition in the absence of an activating agent, such as water, and hardens upon activation by exposure to the activating agent to form a rigid, self supporting structure. An enclosure is provided within which the medical material is maintained against exposure to the activating agent until use. The product may be in pre-cut shapes or in roll-form for cutting off a desired length for a given use. | 08-27-2009 |
