1. A pressure bandage comprising:

  • (a) a bandage comprising a(i) sanitary gauze layer to be applied against a wound;

    (ii) a treated compressed cellulose interior layer having a grain overlying said sanitary gauze layer; and

    (iii) an outside layer overlying said sanitary gauze and compressed cellulose interior layers, said outside layer having adhesive wings which apply the bandage to a wound and an access hole punched therethrough and through the compressed cellulose interior layer defining a reservoir, whereby blood from the wound when absorbed through the gauze layer will saturate the compressed cellulose material and thereby expand said cellulose layer against said sanitary gauze and outer layers, thereby applying active pressure to the wound.
