  • Method of applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive wound dressing and water-based skin treatment composition
    Patent number: 5948400
    Abstract: A coating of a liquid, non-stinging, water-based skin treatment composition is applied to skin adjacent a wound and allowed to form a dry film prior to applying a pressure sensitive dressing over the wound. The aqueous composition includes a water dispersible film forming polyester resin and may be formulated with no volatile organic solvents for the resin. The dried film bonds strongly to the pressure sensitive adhesive of the dressing but is relatively easily removed from the skin and thus serves to reduce the force needed to remove the dressing from the skin.
