Patent number: 6350339Abstract: A non-stretchable wound dressing has a flexible, non-stretching cover sheet having adhesive on one side thereof, and having two spaced strip-form gripping tabs at opposite ends thereof. The cover sheet covers a urethane wound dressing with the adhesive of the cover sheet being in contact with the urethane, and the urethane having an adhesive layer on an opposite side thereof. For storage and prior to application to a patient, the adhesive of the urethane wound dressing is in contact with a releasable surface of a carrier, such as cardboard. For application to a patient, one of the cover sheet gripping tabs is pulled so as to release the cover sheet and wound dressing from the carrier, the cover sheet preventing stretching of the wound dressing. The combination is then applied to a patient, again the cover sheet preventing stretching of the wound dressing.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1995Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: Ferris Pharmaceuticals Inc.Inventor: Robert W.
