Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A bandage adapted for placement on the skin for topical application of a bioactive reagent comprising at least a fabric pad coated or impregnated with a matrix vehicle containing the said bioactive reagent, the said vehicle comprising a soft, waxy material which has a low melting point and, in the absence of liquids, does not spread at room temperature, but which will rapidly release the said contained bioactive reagent upon contact with the skin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
A bandage adapted for placement on the skin for topical application of a bioactive reagent comprising at least a fabric pad coated or impregnated with a matrix vehicle containing the said bioactive reagent, the said vehicle comprising a soft, waxy material which has a low melting point and, in the absence of liquids, does not spread at room temperature, but which will rapidly release the said contained bioactive reagent upon contact with the skin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A bandage as claimed in Claim 1 in which the said reagent is selected from the group consisting of anesthetics, counterirritants, fungicides and bactericides.
