ABSTRACT:
A particular feature of the invention is that the gas-pervious package is internally sealed together only in those areas immediately adjacent the peripheral portions, leaving an unsealed space internally surrounding the bandages in the package to facilitate sterilization.
An adhesive bandage and package is provided wherein the package portion of the bandage serves as means by which the bandage may be applied to the wound without affecting sterility. More precisely, the adhesive bandage, having a backing, and a pad with a facing, is folded with the uncoated face of the backing back to back and is covered by a suitable covering material that is heat, pressure, or ultrasonic sealed on the four sides parallel to the edges of the cover. One portion of the cover extends beyond the seal lines and serves as means for opening and applying the bandage. In another embodiment the opening means is a tear area positioned between the pad and the end of the package.
