Inventors: Abplanalp, George;

Attorney, Agent or Firm:
A medication ointment applicator comprising a length of plastic film to which is attached a backing made of a length of elastic mesh material. The ointment is applied to the surface of the plastic film which is engaged with the skin of the user, the elastic material backing being wrapped around, for example, the user's ankle or wrist such as to hold the plastic film in firm engagement with the skin for absorption of the medication ointment through the skin. Preferably, the plastic film is provided with a scale enabling the user to measure the amount of ointment being applied as a result of measuring the length of a ribbon of ointment expelled from a dispenser tube, and the surface of the plastic film to which the ointment is applied is textured, for example, by ridges being formed on the surface, to help contain the ointment within the edges of the plastic film. The band of elastic mesh material is provided with fastening means such as, for example, a patch of hook and loop material on one end and lateral strips of complementary hook and loop material at the other end such that the backing of elastic mesh material can be wrapped tight and held in position around the limb of a person. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawing, a medication ointment applicator bandage 10 according to the present invention comprises an elongated sheet 12 of transparent or translucid plastic film such as ABS, cellulosic or fluoro plastics, polyamide, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or ethylene copolymers.
The sheet 12 of plastic film is attached at one end to a backing band 14 of elastic mesh material either by being sewn or cemented directly onto it, or through the intermediary of a short band 16 of fabric, as shown.
The free end of the band 14 of elastic mesh material is provided with an appropriate fastening means such as, for example, a patch 18 of plastic hook material, such as the material sold under the trademark Velcro, while the back side of the elastic mesh material is provided with a pair of narrow strips 20 of loop-type material attached, such as by sewing, along each lateral edge of the elastic mesh material band 14.
The sheet 12 of plastic film has its rear surface provided with a printed scale 22 disposed along the centerline of the sheet, and visible through the transparent or translucid plastic film.
The front surface of the sheet 12 of plastic film is textured, for example and as illustrated, by having a plurality of parallel longitudinally extending ridges 24 being embossed thereon, such as to project from the front surface, as best shown at FIG.
5.
In use, the ointment applicator bandage 10 of the invention is held on a flat surface, as shown at FIG.
3, and a ribbon 26 of ointment such as, for example, glycerine ointment, is applied on the textured surface of the sheet 12 of plastic film, from the neck of a squeezed tube 28.
The dosage of ointment can be determined relatively precisely by applying to the textured surface of the plastic film sheet 12, at its center and along the scale 22, a ribbon 26 of ointment of a predetermined length.
The ointment applicator bandage 10 is then wrapped around an area of the body such as, for example, the wrist, FIG
