Abstract
A disposable pressure applying bandage for superficial wounds comprises a pad, for placement on a wound, a flexible arcuate member having its convex surface against the pad, and adhesive material extending over the arcuate member, for attachement of the arcuate member and the pad over the wound. Attachment of the adhesive material to a patient's skin flattens the arcuate member, to a lesser or greater degree, applying pressure to the wound.
