Unitary adhesive bandage and package.

摘要

An adhesive bandage and integral wrapper therefor is constructed of a continuous length of bulky, nonwoven bandage and wrapper material which is preferably a nonwoven fabric batt constructed at least in part of heatfusible fibers. The bandage pad is formed by a Z-fold in the bandage portion of the material. The adhesive wing portions of the bandage are compacted and fused prior to the application of a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The wrapper portion of the product may be entirely nonwoven fabric compacted and heat-fused and coated with an adhesive release surface, or may be formed in part of polyethylene or similar film. The wrapper material is folded around the bandage and sealed on three eges to totally enclose the bandage.
