Abstract
An osmotic bandage for treating wounds, such as cuts, abrasions, minor burns, blisters, and post-surgical incisions. The bandage includes a bandage strip with an adhesive along with a plurality of apertures or airholes disposed therethrough for breathability. The bandage further includes a multi-layered gauze pad. The multi-layered gauze pad includes a first layer, a second salt laced layer, and a third odor-reducing layer. The salt is a natural bactericide, through the dehydration of water in bacteria, and kills any bacteria that attempt to invade or enter the wound site. A semi-permeable membrane cover may be disposed in overlying relation to the pad to prevent the salt from being in direct contact with the wound tissue and causing the patient pain.
