Abstract

A wound dressing assembly includes a wound cover and a carrier. The wound cover has a length and width substantially greater than a height (or thickness), a first major surface, and a second major surface, opposite the first. The first major surface has disposed thereon a wound cover pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a colloidal absorbent, and it is arranged and configured to adhere to mammalian skin during use. The carrier has a length and width substantially greater than a height (or thickness), a first major surface, and a second major surface, opposite the first. The first major surface of the carrier is disposed in facing relation and is removably attached to the second major surface of the wound cover, and it has disposed thereon at least one pressure sensitive adhesive. After application of the wound cover to skin for use, the carrier is removable from the wound cover to leave the wound cover adhered to the skin.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wound dressing assembly comprising:
a. a wound cover having:
i. a length and width substantially greater than a height;
ii. a first major surface having disposed thereon a wound cover pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a colloidal absorbent and being arranged and configured to adhere to mammalian skin during use; and
iii. a second major surface, opposite the first major surface wherein the second major surface of the wound cover is substantially impervious to bodily fluids; and

b. a carrier having:
i. a length and width substantially greater than a height;
ii. a first major surface in facing relation and removably attached to the second major surface of the wound cover, the first major surface of the carrier having a first zone and a second zone at least partially surrounding the first zone, the first and second zones having disposed thereon at least one pressure sensitive adhesive arranged and configured to adhere to skin; and
iii. a second major surface, opposite the first major surface of the carrier, wherein the first zone is larger in area than the second major surface of the wound cover, and further wherein, after application of the wound cover and carrier to skin for use, the carrier is removable from the wound cover to leave the wound cover adhered to the skin.
