A self-adhesive laminate which can be used as a wound dressing (D) in which a thin transparent film (10) has a layer (12) of skin adhesive on one side, shielded before use by a cover sheet (14). During application to a patient, the film (10) is held stable and made easily handled by having a backing sheet (16) with a lower tack than the film-to-skin adhesive (12). The cover sheet (14) and the backing sheet (16) are linked by a hinge strip (18) adhered over one edge of the dressing (D). To apply the dressing (D), the cover sheet (14) is peeled off and left hanging by the binge (18) while the film (10) is adhered to the patient. Then the cover sheet (14) is pulled to remove the backing sheet (16) to which the cover sheet (14) is attached by the binge (18). The invention provides easily applicable contamination-free delicate sterile dressing films for wounds. |
