Abstract
A medical fastener strap for engaging the body has an elongated stiff strip of resilient engaging members on one side and a mating and overlapping elongated softer strip of material on a second side carrying coacting engaging members for coacting with the first strip. The strap is wrapped about a body member and overlapped at its ends to form a Velcro-type fastener. Parallel edges of the softer strip extend over and beyond edges of the stiffer strip and are positioned adjacent the body to cushion and protect the body from the stiff strip in use.
