Acrochordon Excising Bandage

Abstract

A bandage system lances a skin tag from a person's body and thereafter projects the wound created. The system has a base layer that is adhesively attached to the person such that the skin tag passes through an opening of the base layer. A cutter is located atop the base layer and uses a pair of blades that are squeezed together to cut the skin tag protruding through the opening. After cutting, a protective layer is adhered to the base layer such that a medicine laden absorbent pad on the protective layer overlays the opening on the base layer absorbing any blood from the wound and applying the medicine to the wound. Thereafter, the system is worn as a typical bandage.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A bandage comprising:
 a base layer having a first upper surface, an adhesive laden first lower surface, and an opening;   a cutter located on the first upper surface and having a first blade slidably disposed on a first side of the opening and a second blade slidably disposed on an opposing second side of the opening such that the first blade and the second blade slide toward and override one another; and   a protective layer having a second upper surface, a second lower surface, and a pad attached to the second lower surface such that the protective layer is attached to the base layer so that the pad is over the opening.   
     
     
         2 . The bandage as in  claim 1  wherein the pad is made from a moisture absorbing material. 
     
     
         3 . The bandage as in  claim 1  wherein the pad is medicine laden. 
     
     
         4 . The bandage as in  claim 1  wherein the first blade and the second blade are each arcuate. 
     
     
         5 . The bandage as in  claim 1  wherein the first blade has a first nub on a first end thereof and the second blade has a second nub on a second end thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The bandage as in  claim 1  wherein the first blade is slidably disposed within a first housing attached to the first upper surface of the base layer and the second blade is slidably disposed within a second housing attached to the first upper surface of the base layer. 
     
     
         7 . The bandage as in  claim 1  wherein the base layer is made from a flexible material. 
     
     
         8 . The bandage as in  claim 1  wherein the protective layer is made from a flexible material. 
     
     
         9 . A bandage comprising:
 a base layer having a first upper surface, an adhesive laden first lower surface, and an opening;   a cutter located on the first upper surface and having a first blade slidably disposed on a first side of the opening and a second blade slidably disposed on an opposing second side of the opening such that the first blade and the second blade slide toward and override one another;   a protective layer having a second upper surface, a second lower surface, and a pad attached to the second lower surface such that the protective layer is attached to the base layer so that the pad is over the opening; and   a flexible neck attached to the base layer and to the protective layer   
     
     
         10 . The bandage as in  claim 9  wherein the pad is made from a moisture absorbing material. 
     
     
         11 . The bandage as in  claim 9  wherein the pad is medicine laden. 
     
     
         12 . The bandage as in  claim 9  wherein the first blade and the second blade are each arcuate. 
     
     
         13 . The bandage as in  claim 9  wherein the first blade has a first nub on a first end thereof and the second blade has a second nub on a second end thereof. 
     
     
         14 . The bandage as in  claim 9  wherein the first blade is slidably disposed within a first housing attached to the first upper surface of the base layer and the second blade is slidably disposed within a second housing attached to the first upper surface of the base layer. 
     
     
         15 . The bandage as in  claim 9  wherein the base layer is made from a flexible material. 
     
     
         16 . The bandage as in  claim 9  wherein the protective layer is made from a flexible material.
