The bandage (10) is further provided with a glue layer (18) applied to the first side surface of the support sheet (12) and covering the first part (24) of the absorbing pad (16), whereas the second part (22) of the absorbing pad (16) is uncovered by the glue layer (16). A slit-cut (20) is further provided extending through the support sheet (12) and extending from the outer rim through the adhesive layer and into the first part (24) of the absorbing pad. The glue layer (18) is preferably perforated. The bandage (10) provides an excellent fixation capability and a highly advantageous absorbing capability.
