Medical bandages with a skin adhesion reducing material

摘要

A bandage that facilitates the removal of the bandage from the skin is shown and described. The bandage has a selectively releasable adhesion reducing material contained in structures such as a selectively rupturable reservoir or a selectively deformable synthetic or natural matrix. When the adhesion reducing material is released from the reservoir, it contacts the bandage's skin adhesive and reduces its adhesion to the skin.

主权项

1. A bandage, comprising:
a first backing layer having a first side and a second side; a skin adhesive on the first backing layer first side; two adhesion reducing material matrices on the first backing layer second side, wherein the two adhesion reducing material matrices are impregnated with an adhesion reducing material and have a retaining configuration and a releasing configuration; a second backing layer having a first side and a second side, wherein the second backing layer first side faces the first backing layer second side; and an absorbent pad on the first backing layer first side, wherein the first backing layer includes an absorbent pad region, and the two adhesion reducing material matrices are located outside of the absorbent pad region.
