Tubular gauze bandage applicator - Patent 3941125 (1939 words)
The seal 18 is flexible enough to exert continual pressure at the top end thereof against the gauze 17 as it passes over the tube 16, but this resistance is small enough to allow the gauze 17 to be easily removed from the interior of the housing 11 and along the tube 16.
The gauze 17 which is directly disposed around the tube 16 would then be grasped and pulled upwardly by the other fingers on the same hand as the injured finger.
Once the end of the injured finger having the gauze therearound is an inch or two from the end of the tube 16, the entire applicator 10 is rotated to form a twisted juncture 27 as clearly shown in FIG.
