Hydrogel bandages.

摘要

A hydrogel dressing is provided which is suitable for adherence to an adhesive coated backing of a bandage. The dressing consists of a layer of hydrogel in face-to-face relationship with a substrate. The hydrogel facing surface of the substrate preferably comprises fibers projecting into the hydrogel and the opposed surface preferably comprises a hydrogel occlusive polymeric film. The hydrogel is crosslinked, in situ, on the substrate and thereby firmly anchors thereto. The occlusive film assures adhesion of the dressing to an adhesive coated bandage backing.
