Occlusive wound care dressing.

摘要

An occlusive dressing for care of skin wounds, which includes a skin contacting berrier layer and an overlying backing layer adhesively united thereto, the backing layer being formed from a thin sheet which is stretchable to the extent that a 50% elongation without rupture is produced by a tensioning stress of not over 1.5 pounds per inch of width, the barrier layer being formed from a composition including an elastomeric phase integrated by a cross-linked polymer network and a particulate water-absorbing hydrocolloid phase dispersed in said cross-linked elastomeric phase.
