Abstract

An appendage wrap having a sequential set of graphic instruction steps printed across the length of the wrap on one or both sides for explaining and illustrating how a user is to apply the wrap to a specific appendage. Each individual instruction step is readily visible to the user and is easily discernable as the wrap is unrolled and wound around the appendage. Text instructions provide concise directions to the user. Simply illustrations of the appendage (hand graphics) provide a visual reference to the user for the direction and location where the wrap will be wound. Arrows are used to visually guide the user as wrap is unrolled and wound around the wrist.

Claims (5)

1. A flexible wrap for an appendage comprising:

an elongate strip of flexible material adapted to be rolled onto itself and unrolled from itself while being wrapped repeatedly around the appendage, the strip having a first end and an opposite second end, the strip also having an inner side and an opposite outer side;

an instruction set printed on the outer side across the length of the strip between the first end and the second end set for explaining and illustrating the application of the wrap to an appendage, the instruction set includes a plurality of instruction blocks where each of the plurality of instruction blocks is spaced apart from one another and selectively located along the length of the strip to be visible after the completion of the subsequent step for applying the wrap repeatedly around the appendage and provides sequential visible directions and illustrations of the next step for applying the wrap to the appendage as the wrap is unrolled.

2. The wrap of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of instruction blocks includes written text directions and graphics.

3. The wrap of claim 1 wherein the plurality of instruction blocks includes a first instruction block printed to the outer side adjacent the first end and a last instruction block printed on the outer side adjacent the second end.
