Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A bandaging device for protecting a wound, cut, abrasion, incision or the like during the healing process without creating physical contact therewith, said device comprising a foraminous top portion having a perimeter, an impervious side portion integrally formed with said perimeter and depending therefrom to a lower edge, an outreaching semi-rigid flexible flange portion integrally formed with said lower edge and extending outwardly therefrom defining a lower surface; a layer of medical grade adhesive disposed upon said lower surface in shaped conforming relationship thereto; and a layer of release paper detachably secured to said adhesive layer in shape conforming relationship thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
