Wound or skin treatment devices with variable edge geometries

This invention describes a flexible skin patch, similar to a bandage, designed to help heal wounds or prevent scars. It works by having wavy, non-sharp edges instead of straight ones. When stretched and applied to the skin, these wavy edges help distribute tension more evenly, reducing pressure points that straight edges might create, with the claims specifying the waviness must have a certain amplitude relative to the patch's width.

Why it matters: Since 2013, advances in computational biomechanics and precision manufacturing for elastic films have made it significantly easier to design and produce the specific stress-reducing undulating geometries described.
