STERILE ADHESIVE BANDAGE WRAPPER CONSTRUCTION

摘要

A bandage has first and second adhesive areas on corresponding end portions of the bandage for adhering the bandage to the skin of a user, and a wound dressing pad between the two adhesive areas. Portions of first and second cover strips are disposed to protect corresponding adhesive areas on the bandage. A bandage wrapper envelopes the bandage including the cover strips, and the cover strips themselves are bonded by an adhesive to a confronting surface of the wrapper. Thus, when a user pulls the ends of the wrapper apart to open the wrapper and remove the bandage, each cover strip is peeled away from the bandage by a part of the wrapper to which the cover strip is bonded. The dressing pad on the bandage is then exposed to be applied on a wound without having to come in contact with the user's hands.

1. An adhesive bandage wrapper construction, comprising:
a wrapper having a longitudinal edge between a first end and a second end of the wrapper; a bandage contained in the wrapper and including first and second adhesive areas on corresponding end portions of the bandage for adhering the bandage to a user's skin, and a wound dressing pad disposed between the first and the second adhesive areas for application on a wound of the user; a first cover strip and a second cover strip wherein the cover strips are substantially the same length, and each cover strip has a protective portion disposed to protect a corresponding adhesive area on the bandage; and wherein the wrapper envelopes the bandage including the first and the second cover strips, and the cover strips are bonded to a confronting surface of the wrapper so that when the first and the second ends of the wrapper are pulled apart to open the wrapper and remove the bandage, each cover strip is peeled away from the bandage by a part of the wrapper to which the strip is bonded, thus exposing the wound dressing pad for application on the wound and avoiding contact between the pad and a hand of a user.
