          Appeal No. 2001-0129                                                        
          Application No. 09/035,655                                                  


               We will not sustain this rejection as it is directed to                
          claims 4 and 7 which are dependent on claims 1 and 5                        
          respectively because Siciliano like Masuda does not disclose a              
          rigid pad. Rather, Siciliano discloses a bandage comprised of               
          cotton                                                                      
          terry cloth.                                                                
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
