Abstract: An adhesive bandage having a support layer with a first surface facing the skin of the user and which defines a first surface area, at least one first composite layer having an adhesive element applied to the first surface and substantially covering the whole of the first surface area, and at least one multi-layer system associated to at least a section of the first composite layer. The multi-layer system includes at least one permeable polymeric film layer and at least one second composite layer having at least one adhesive element and at least one hydrocolloidal element. The multi-layer system is associated to the first composite layer via the second composite layer or the permeable polymeric film layer.
