* UNITED STATES 1,541,299 PATENT OFFICE;
' ARTHUR LOUIS WALTERS, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO ELI LILLY AND COMPANY, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, A CORPORATION OF INDIANA.
DRESSING FOR WOUNDS.
Application and July 5, 1921. semi No. 482,305.
To all whom it may cof/wem:
Be it known that ll, ARTHUR L. WaLTERs,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Dressing for Wounds, of which the following is a specification. t
1t is the object of my invention to provide a convenient dressing for wounds, especially lo adapted for first-aid treatment, which dressing carries its own medicament 1n a container within itself, and which medicament may be caused to saturate the dressing substantially instantly when desired, so' that the dressing may be made immediately ready for application to the wound, even by one entirely unskilled.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention: Fi 1 is a perspective view o the complete pac age containing the dressing; Fig. 2 is an end elevation Vof the stitched gauze strip which forms. the outer part of the dressing proper; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the strip of absorbent cotton with the medicament-containing ampoule in position thereon ready to be rolled therein; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the roll of absorbent4 cotton containing the ampoule in place in the gauze strip; and Fig. 5 is a sectional perspective view showing the complete dressing in its containing envelope.
The dressing proper, which is relatively flat, has an outer layer of absorbent gauze 10, preferably formed from a strip of suitable width folded on itself to form several layers, which are stitched together by a few stitches 11, conveniently parallel to the folds, thus leaving two free-edge flaps 12 which may be separated for assemb y or laid together when assembled. The medicament to be used is put in a long slender container 13, preferably slightly shorter than the width of the gauze strip 10, and this container is rolled up in a strip of absorbent cotton 14, which when rolled with the container 13 within it is placed between the two flaps 12 and against the stitching 11, as indicated vin Fig. 4. The two flaps are then laid together to enclose the container-holding roll of cotton, and the whole substantially flat dressing is placed flatwise .in a suitable envelope 15, conveniently made of impervious paper and also substantially dat, to keep the dressing clean and prevent staining of the fingers. The envelope preferably has printed upon it the legend Crush here first which legend ispso located that the ampoule 13 lies directly beneath it. The complete dressing, either with or without the envelope, is Iiexble transversely of `the container 13, for it is many times as wide as is such container. This dressing can quite readily be stacked up and packaged with other like dressings.
lThe medicament used in the container may be anything desired; probably the most generally suitable one is tincture of iodine. rlhe container itself is conveniently made of glass, hermetically sealed, but while this is perhaps the most convenient material it is not essential that glass be used, as any other suitable container may be used which f permits the discharge of the medicament when pressed or broken.
When the dressing is to bel used, it is first crushed alon the line of the container, as indicate by the legend Crush here first, and, the envelope 15 having been opened as by tearing it along the dotted line 16, the dressing proper is removed from the envelope and immediately laid upon the wound. The crushing of the .container 13 permits the iodine or other medicament to escape therefrom and to saturate the cotton 14 and gauze 10. This gauze 10 and the cotton 14 effectively prevent any particles of the broken glass container from getting free from the dressing and into the Wound.
l claim as my invention:
1. A dressing for wounds, comprising a plurality of layers of absorbent material superposed to form a iiexible, dat pack, and a frangible medicament container among such layers.
2. A dressing for wounds, comprising a plurality of layers of absorbentl material superposed to form a flexible, flat pack of great length and width relative to its thickness, a frangible medicament container among such layers, and a covering` of absorbent cotton around said container, said pack having a pair of aps extending from said container in opposite directions.
3. A dressing for wounds, comprising a plurality of layers of absorbent material superposed to form a flexible, flat pack, a frangible medicament container among such layers, said layers of absorbent material bematan@ `ing stitched to locate said containei` in proper position.. t
4f. The combination with a dressmg as set forth 'in claim 1, of an envelope in which such dressing is enclosed to hold its parts together andi in lace and to insure its `foeing kept clean w ile said meicament container is being broken.
5. A dressing for Wounds, comprising a l0 plurality of layers of absorbent materiali graspe superposed to form a-fexible, fiat pack, and
a frangible medicament container among such la ers, said pack being adapted to be by the hands on opposite sides of sani container.
In witness "whereof, have hereunto set my hand at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 30th day of J une, A. D. one .thousand nine huitdred andi twenty-one.
ARTHUR LOUIS WLTERS.
