Abstract:
An adhesive composite dressing comprising: (a) a conformable backing comprising a polymer film, the backing having top and bottom faces; (b) a low adhesion coating on at least a portion of the top face of the backing, (c) pressure sensitive adhesive coated on at least a portion of the bottom face of the backing; (d) a liner releasably adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive opposite the backing; and (e) a carrier releasably attached to the polymer film and the low adhesion coating on the top face of the backing with a heat seal bond, the carrier including a cut substantially defining a window proximate a center of the backing and a carrier frame proximate a perimeter of the backing, the carrier further being formed of material substantially more rigid than the polymer film to provide rigidity to the backing and the pressure sensitive adhesive after removal of the liner.
