Abstract: [CONSTRUCTION]

Abstract: Adhesive-coated sheet material having a base sheet with a layer of adhesive applied thereto. The base sheet comprises a laminate of a thermoplastic fiber fabric and a film of polymeric material, with at least a portion of the laminate being heat-sealed in a discontinuous pattern. The adhesive is applied to the fabric surface of the laminate. Methods of forming the adhesive-coated sheet are disclosed. A wound contacting pad may be adhered to the adhesive-coated sheet material to form an adhesive bandage.

Abstract: To improve adhesive power to the skin without impairing excellent gas permeability and water vapor permeability when a laminate film comprising a film, a fiber fabric and an adhesive layer is sealed by heating at the same time in order to prevent an invasion of liquid from a side of the adhesive bandage.In an adhesive bandage comprising a base sheet made by laminating a film on a thermoplastic fiber fabric and an adhesive layer set on a surface of the thermoplastic fiber fabric of the base sheet, the adhesive bandage is pattern-sealed. The heat seal is preferably performed under the condition that the film does not melt but the thermoplastic fiber fabric melts, and only the periphery of the adhesive bandage may be pattern-sealed.
