An integrated and complete dressing for the care and treatment of
traumatic amputations and wounds. The traumatic amputation and wound
dressing includes an oversized wound pad, an elastic bandage, and
fasteners in an integrated unit for quickly and effectively treating an
amputation. The elastic bandage may be attached to the wound pad such
that the bandage forms an angle of about 90 degrees with respect to a
vertical axis of the wound pad. The wound pad can be readily folded over
an amputation and quickly wrapped with the elastic bandage. The fasteners
may be attached to the periphery of the wound pad. When the dressing is
applied to a stump of an amputated limb and the fasteners are engaged,
the wound pad is relatively securely held in position and downward
pressure is exerted on the stump. In some embodiments, the elastic
bandage may also include brakes designed to prevent the bandage from
unintentionally unraveling. The brakes also facilitate application of the
dressing to the stump.
