ABSTRACT:
A self adherent dermal wound window dressing for the protection of an indwelling catheter access site, providing absorbency, visualization and securement of an indwelling catheter, includes a fabric tape layer having an adhesive side and an opposite non-adhesive side. The fabric tape layer has an opening therein to allow viewing therethrough. A semipermeable transparent film layer closes the opening in the fabric tape layer and has an adhesive side and an opposite non-adhesive side. The film layer adhesive side is adhered on the non-adhesive side of the fabric layer around the opening. An absorbent fiber layer has an opening generally corresponding to the opening in the fabric tape layer. The fiber layer is mounted on the adhesive side of the fabric tape layer such that the openings in the absorbent fiber and fabric tape layers are in alignment and the fabric tape layer extends beyond the periphery of the absorbent fiber layer. A non-adherent porous film layer of a shape generally corresponding to the shape of the absorbent fiber layer has an adhesive side and an opposite non-adhesive side and is adhered to the absorbent fiber layer by the adhesive side of the non-adherent porous film layer. A latent cut in the fabric tape layer extending beyond the periphery of the absorbent fiber layer receives a catheter tube extending from under the dressing and the fabric tape layer seals the window dressing from contamination around the catheter tube.
