ABSTRACT:
A breathable, moisture vapor permeable pressure sensitive adhesive tape comprising a patterned, fibrillated polymeric film having 10 to 70 percent open area, coated on one side with a non-irritating pressure sensitive surgical adhesive. The polymeric film is composed of a plurality of substantially parallel monofilament strands interconnected by a plurality of fibrils. The physical structure of the tape combines good straight tensile strength with ease of tearability in two directions. The tape is permeable to both air and water vapor, and is substantially unaffected by contact with liquid water or body fluids. The tape is particularly useful for wound closure in certain surgical procedures.
