ABSTRACT:
An adhesive bandage includes a flexible planar abrasion resistant body having an outer face, an inner face, and a peripheral edge. A sterile pad is secured to the inner face of the abrasion resistant body. A covering of flexible material is secured to the outer face of the abrasion resistant body and extends past the abrasion resistant body to form wings. The wings have an adhesive coating whereby the wings may be adhered to human skin to maintain the sterile pad in position over a wound. The covering is attached to the abrasion resistant body immediately adjacent to the peripheral edge leaving an unsecured central portion of the covering extending across the second face of the abrasion resistant body. Rubbing results in movement of the unsecured central portion of the covering against the abrasion resistant body thereby insulating the sterile pad from movement due to said rubbing.
