US Patent:
7652190, Jan 26, 2010
Filed:
Apr 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/737096
Inventors:
Ross A. Johnson - Anderson SC, US
Assignee:
Tactical Medical Solution, Inc. - Anderson SC
International Classification:
A61F 15/00, A61F 13/06, A61F 13/00, A61F 13/02, A61B 17/00, A61B 17/08, A61B 17/04
US Classification:
602 48, 602 49, 602 50, 602 51, 602 52, 602 56, 602 57, 602 58, 602 59, 602 72, 604304, 604305, 604306, 604307, 604308, 606201, 606203, 606204, 606213, 606215, 606216, 606232, 606293, 606304, 606305, 600572, 600571
Abstract:
An integrated wound dressing system and method including a bandage and a self-contained receptacle that stores treatment material for the care and treatment of wounds. The treatment material is easily accessible and can be removed from the receptacle through an exit. The treatment material can then be used to control bleeding and/or clean the wound before dressing. The bandage may include a layer of plastic that acts as an occlusion barrier to reduce heat loss and maintain moisture levels at the wound site. The occlusion barrier also acts to prevent the passage of air into or out of the wound site. The bandage also includes fasteners that act to prevent unintentional unraveling and to secure the bandage during final packaging. These fasteners help facilitate the wrapping of amputations, stumps, and extremities. The integrated wound dressing system provides an all-in-one system for treating and dressing wounds and reduces the time required to do so.

Traumatic Amputation And Wound Dressing

US Patent:
7663015, Feb 16, 2010
Filed:
Aug 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/838159
Inventors:
Ross A. Johnson - Anderson SC, US
Assignee:
Tactical Medical Solutions, Inc. - Anderson SC
International Classification:
A61F 13/00
US Classification:
602 42, 128888
Abstract:
An integrated and complete dressing for the care and treatment of traumatic amputations and wounds. The traumatic amputation and wound dressing includes an oversized wound pad, an elastic bandage, and fasteners in an integrated unit for quickly and effectively treating an amputation. The elastic bandage may be attached to the wound pad such that the bandage forms an angle of about 90 degrees with respect to a vertical axis of the wound pad. The wound pad can be readily folded over an amputation and quickly wrapped with the elastic bandage. The fasteners may be attached to the periphery of the wound pad. When the dressing is applied to a stump of an amputated limb and the fasteners are engaged, the wound pad is relatively securely held in position and downward pressure is exerted on the stump. In some embodiments, the elastic bandage may also include brakes designed to prevent the bandage from unintentionally unraveling. The brakes also facilitate application of the dressing to the stump.
