A wound dressing device for dispensing individual wound dressings on demand from a roll of a multitude of identical wound dressings is described. Each individual wound dressing has a coarse open weave pad of gauze or other material containing a therapeutic agent provided with adhesive wings on the outer sides of the pad arranged in spaced end to end relationship with adjacent wound dressings sandwiched between a continuous backing strip located on one side and a continuous protective strip located on the other side. The roll of wound dressings is contained within a replaceable cassette that can be clipped onto a housing fixed to a wall of a room. The housing is provided with an operating subassembly having an operating lever. The subassembly interacts with the cassette to advance the wound dressings one at a time through the dispenser when the lever is moved to operate the subassembly. The continuous backing strips and continuous protective strips are attached to their own rollers within the cassette that are rotated to wind the strips around the respective rollers in response to movement of the lever to draw the wound dressing through the dispenser to exit through a dispensing slot provided in the cassette for removal from the dispenser. The advantage of the dispenser is that wound dressings can be dispensed more easily and more hygienically, particularly by children, since the dispenser can act as an aid to hold the wound dressing to assist in applying the wound dressing to the injured part of the body with reduced risk of the wound dressing being contaminated or sticking to itself.
