Abstract: A dressing product includes a cover sheet, a carrier system, and a dressing sheet. The carrier system includes a periphery that is attached to the cover sheet and a lower portion that extends from the periphery to a protruding portion. The protruding portion of the carrier system is spaced apart from the cover sheet by the lower portion of the carrier system to define a cavity between the cover sheet and the carrier system. The dressing sheet includes a backing layer and an adhesive attached to the backing layer. The dressing sheet is disposed in the cavity and is contained between sidewalls that are defined by the lower portion of the carrier system.

Abstract: A dressing product includes a thin film dressing sheet, one first surface of which is coated with an adhesive, such as a pressure sensitive hydrocolloid adhesive, which is applicable to an anatomical surface of a human. A carrier system, which provides a support for the dressing sheet, defines a gripping section for handling of the carrier system. The carrier system may include one or more foil members and supporting sheets for facilitating application and for providing a non-touch application system, i.e., a system which may be handled by an operator without the operator touching the dressing sheet or at least the adhesive surface. A protective sheet having an opening for application of a pharmaceutical product to the adhesive prior to application of the dressing sheet is disclosed.

Abstract: An article having an adhesive surface for adhering to human skin that includes a first component constituting a continuous layer and at least a second component which is located in indentations in the adhesive surface of the first component without being in direct contact with the first component. The second component is separated from the first component by a cup shaped barrier layer having a rim which extends into a flange.

Abstract: A dressing able to adhere to the skin and/or a wound for covering a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being and demonstrating considerably increased wearing time. The dressing has a backing layer and a layer of skin-friendly adhesive for adhering to the skin, and includes a pattern of connected indentations formed in a pattern that is not linear and which progresses in at least three main directions.

Abstract: A dressing product comprises a dressing sheet (102), such as a thin film, one first surface of which is coated with an adhesive (106), such as a pressure sensitive hydrocolloid adhesive, which is applicable to an anatomical surface of a living being, such as a skin portion of a human. A carrier system, which provides a support for the dressing sheet, defines a gripping section for handling of the carrier system by human fingers. The carrier system may include one or more foil members (216;218;220;222) and supporting sheets (212) for facilitating application and for providing a non-touch application system, i.e. a system which may be handled by an operator without the operator touching the dressing sheet (102) or at least the adhesive surface (106) thereof. A protective sheet having an opening for application of a pharmaceutical product to the adhesive prior to application of the dressing sheet is disclosed.
