A TAB MEMBER

摘要

A tab member (25), especially for use as a "non-touch" grip for applying a dressing (21) comprising an adhesive layer (23) and optionally a release liner (24) to the skin without touching the adhesive layer (23). The tab member (25) comprises at least a first flap member (26) and a second flap member (27) being joined along one edge thereof so as to form a tab having a V-formed cross section substantially perpendicular to the line of conjunction. The combined thickness of the two flap members (26, 27) in the area of conjunction (28) is smaller than the thickness of a bended edge of the two flap members (26, 27). This is a particular advantage while a decrease of the thickness of the area of conjunciton (28) results in a decrease of the area of the adhesive (23) in front of the area of bending or conjunction (28), which may be subjected to air.
