    Nc 364 A.I). I860 Date of Application, 8th Jan., 1690—Accepted, 8th Feb., 1890 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION. [Communicated from abroad by Thowald Ellebye, of 1, Kjobmagergado, Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark, Manufacturer.] An Improved Sanitary Bandage. I, Henry Harris Lake, of the firm of Haseltino, Lake & Co., Patent Agents, Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :— 5 This invention relates to sanitary bandages. The sanitary bandages made of linen or the like, as heretofore used, present the defect of being stiffened by the blood, for which reason they are not only inconvenient but also more or less injurious inasmuch as they constitute an obstacle to the free circulation of air. 10 My improved bandage made according to the aforesaid invention is soft, can be worn comfortably and is at the same time extremely porous. In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 shows an upper view, Figure 2 a side view, and 15 Figure 3 a cross section of the said bandage. This bandage consists of cotton, and comprises a broad intermediate band B into which is woven a kind of pad C of cotton threads, so that a soft, porous, sponge-like piece is formed. The intermediate band B is provided at its two ends with elastic straps A for 20 holding the bandage in position. The sanitary bandage thus formed is applied with its soft side inwards, and therefore will be very porous when it is folded together longitudinally and placed in position. Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven¬ tion and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to me by 25 my foreign correspondent I declare that what I claim is :— The above described sanitary bandage having a broad, porous, soft intermediate band of cotton and two fastening straps, substantially as represented in the accompanying drawing. Dated this 8th day of January 1890. 30 HASELTINE, LAKE & Co., 45, Southampton Buildings, London, Agents for the Applicant.
