• Elastic Tension Indicators • Transdermal Drug Delivery The two-component device of the present disclosure can be optionally adapted for transdermal drug delivery. As is known in the art, a drug is deliverable transdermally through the skin. For such an application, a drug-containing patch is secured to at least one of the adhesive-backed anchoring members in such a way that the drug can be delivered through the skin. Given the fact that there will be no adhesive contact between the skin and the adhesive- backed anchoring member in the area of the drug delivery patch, it may be necessary to increase the size of the flat flexible component to secure the bandage in such a transdermal drug delivery embodiment. Transdermal drug delivery is well known in the art and a review of the background is not necessary to enable one of skill in the art to make and use the presently disclosure. The use of embedded infection indicators represents a relatively new technology that can be incorporated to provide for a wound closure device that can, for example, change color as an indication of the presence of unwanted bacteria. One technology utilizes the release of a fluorescent dye from nanocapsules, the release being triggered by toxins secreted by the unwanted bacteria. • Embedded Infection Indicators The bandage of the present disclosure may optionally include an elastic tension indicator element. The purpose of the tension indicator element is to provide a visual indication that a desired tension has been reached while applying the bandage. For example, materials are known in the art which change color when a predetermined tension is applied. Similarly, other graphic representations may be used for this purpose. For example, a rectangular graphic representation may be applied to an elastic tension indicator element. As this tension indicator is stretched, the graphic representation of the rectangle stretches. This element may be designed such that the desired tension is indicated when the original rectangular representation is stretched to the point where it closely approximates a geometric square. It is desirable that this elastic tension indicator element be removable with the pulling elements following application of the bandage. At a minimum, the elastic tension indicator element should be positioned in the bandage such that when the bandage is applied, it is not possible for the elastic element to continue to stretch and release the desired tension previously established.
