Abstract
Abstract A medical bandaging product (10) is rolled into a coil and positioned in a dispenser (11). Bandaging product (10) includes an outer elongated sleeve (13) formed of a moisture-impervious material and heat sealed along opposite, parallel extending sides to form an elongate tube. A medical material (14) is positioned with sleeve (13) and includes a substrate (16) formed of a suitable number of overlaid layers of a woven or knitted fabric such as fiberglass. Substrate (16) is contained within a tubular wrapping (18) formed of a soft, flexible non-woven fiber such as polypropylene. Substrate (16) is impregnated or coated with a reactive system which remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions but which hardens upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self-supporting structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A medical bandaging product, comprising: (a) an outer sleeve formed of moisture-impervious material; (b) a medical material positioned in said sleeve in substantially moisture-free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use, said medical material comprising: (i) a substrate having first and second opposing sides defining therebetween a predetermined thickness; (ii) a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto said substrate, said system remaining stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardening upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure; and (iii) a soft, flexible, protective, cushion padding means which is freely water and air permeable through the thickness thereof for providing a cushioning barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use, said padding overlying both said first and second sides of said substrate whereby either side of said bandage may be placed next to the skin of the patient.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
A medical bandaging product, comprising: (a) an outer sleeve formed of moisture-impervious material; (b) a medical material positioned in said sleeve in substantially moisture-free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use, said medical material comprising: (i) a substrate having first and second opposing sides defining therebetween a predetermined thickness; (ii) a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto said substrate, said system remaining stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardening upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure; and (iii) a soft, flexible, protective, cushion padding means which is freely water and air permeable through the thickness thereof for providing a cushioning barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use, said padding overlying both said first and second sides of said substrate whereby either side of said bandage may be placed next to the skin of the patient.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
131 words
A medical bandaging product, comprising: (a) an outer sleeve formed of moisture-impervious material; (b) a medical material positioned in said sleeve in substantially moisture-free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use, said medical material comprising: (i) a substrate having first and second opposing sides defining therebetween a predetermined thickness; (ii) a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto said substrate, said system remaining stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardening upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure; and (iii) a soft, flexible, protective, freely water and air permeable padding overlying both the first and second sides of said substrate contiguous thereto to provide a cushioning barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
131 words
A medical bandaging product, comprising: (a) an outer sleeve formed of moisture-impervious material; (b) a medical material positioned in said sleeve in substantially moisture-free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use, said medical material comprising: (i) a substrate having first and second opposing sides defining therebetween a predetermined thickness; (ii) a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto said substrate, said system remaining stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardening upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure; and (iii) a soft, flexible, protective, freely water and air permeable padding overlying both the first and second sides of said substrate contiguous thereto to provide a cushioning barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
131 words
A medical bandaging product, consisting essentially of: (a) an outer sleeve formed of moisture-impervious material; (b) a medical material positioned in said sleeve in substantially moisture-free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use, said medical material comprising: (i) a substrate having first and second opposing sides defining therebetween a predetermined thickness; (ii) a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto said substrate, said system remaining stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardening upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure; and (iii) a soft, flexible, protective, freely water and air permeable padding overlying both the first and second sides of said substrate to provide a cushioning barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
