The release liner is scored at junctions between the anchoring portion and the fingers to allow selective removal during staggered application of the tape. | 12-19-2013 |
20140116907 | EASY ACCESS BANDAGES, PACKAGING, AND SYSTEMS FOR APPLICATION - Provided are a bandage wrappers and bandage application systems comprising: a first wrapper element and a second wrapper element; whereby the first wrapper element and the second wrapper element at least partially enclose an individual bandage and are separably in contact to completely enclose the bandage such that when the first and second wrapper elements are pulled in opposite directions the first and second elements separate to partially expose the bandage in a ready-to-apply state. | 05-01-2014 |
20140158572 | Wound Care Dressing - The present invention relates to a wound care dressing and package assembly. The assembly includes a first package substrate or layer to which a wound care dressing is attached. The wound care dressing includes a backing layer and a contact layer. A release structure is in contact with the contact layer on a side of the contact layer opposite the wound care dressing. The release structure is supported by a second package substrate or layer. A seal interconnects the first and second package layers, forming a sealed volume in which at least the wound care dressing and the release structure is contained. The wound care dressing advantageously releases from the backing layer at low forces, e.g., less than about 1N/linear inch. | 06-12-2014 |
20140238884 | STERILE ADHESIVE BANDAGE WRAPPER CONSTRUCTION - A bandage has first and second adhesive areas on corresponding end portions of the bandage for adhering the bandage to the skin of a user, and a wound dressing pad between the two adhesive areas. Portions of first and second cover strips are disposed to protect corresponding adhesive areas on the bandage. A bandage wrapper envelopes the bandage including the cover strips, and the cover strips themselves are bonded by an adhesive to a confronting surface of the wrapper. Thus, when a user pulls the ends of the wrapper apart to open the wrapper and remove the bandage, each cover strip is peeled away from the bandage by a part of the wrapper to which the cover strip is bonded. The dressing pad on the bandage is then exposed to be applied on a wound without having to come in contact with the user's hands. | 08-28-2014 |
