An improved bandage including a strip of fabric for winding about a body
portion having a wound; a dressing, formed integrally with said strip of
fabric, for placement over the wound; and a pocket formed over said
dressing, adapted to contain therein a topical agent, preferably a
hemostatic agent, for treating the wound. Also envisioned is a topical
agent-bearing package which comprises a plurality of integrally formed
discrete elements, each formed of a permeable exterior layer containing a
volume of a topical agent and an intervening, weakened region formed
between each of said discrete elements, adapted to facilitate separation
of at least one of said discrete elements from the remainder of said
plurality of discrete elements.
