Abstract: A method for manufacturing an epilatory strip by providing a first laminate of a pressure-sensitive, hot-melt adhesive sandwiched between a support layer and a first release liner that in combination provide a width to the first laminate; delaminating the width of the first laminate by unwinding the first release liner and exposing an area of pressure-sensitive, hot-melt adhesive; applying at least one mask or cover material onto the pressure-sensitive, hot-melt adhesive on at least one edge area of the delaminated first laminate to provide a second laminate presenting an exposed area of pressure-sensitive, hot-melt adhesive; and providing a second release liner to cover at least a portion of exposed area of pressure-sensitive, hot-melt adhesive to provide a width of epilatory strip material. Thus, hypoallergenic, non-irritant epilatory strips are obtained using the method according to the invention.

Abstract: A wound dressing (1;15;18) comprising a polyurethane film sheet (2;19) having a wound facing side (3) and an opposite side (4). The wound facing side (3) has a peripheral rim zone (5) provided with an adhesive (6) or an adhesive means (16), the peripheral rim zone (5) encircles a central sheet part (11) free of adhesive (6) or adhesive means (16), and the wound dressing (1) has a moisture vapor transmission rate of at least 1,200 g/m 2/24 hour at the adhesive-coated or adhesive-means provided rim zone (5) and a moisture vapor transmission rate at the central sheet part (12) of at least 3,000 g/m 2/24 hour. A method and production line for manufacturing various embodiments of wound dressings are also disclosed.
