ABSTRACT:
A non-stretching wound dressing is provided for use with a patient. The wound dressing includes a cover sheet having top and bottom sides, a thin film sheet formed on the bottom side of the cover sheet, the film sheet having first and second ends and an adhesive side, and a carrier sheet in adjacent contact with the adhesive side of the thin film sheet. The dressing also includes a first gripping tab attached to one end of the thin film sheet and disposed between the film sheet and the carrier sheet for separating the carrier sheet from the film sheet with the cover sheet remaining affixed to the film sheet. A second gripping tab is attached to the top side of the cover sheet and at one end of the cover sheet so that pulling on the second gripping tab releases the cover sheet from the film sheet with the film sheet remaining in place on the patient. An intermediate liner is attached to the adhesive side of the film sheet and disposed between the film sheet and the carrier sheet to promote removal of the film sheet and the carrier sheet, and to permit the wound dressing to be held by the first gripping tab and intermediate liner without contacting the thin film sheet. In one embodiment, the thin film sheet has a thickness of less than about 1.0 mil, more preferably, less than about 1.0 mil and most preferably, less than about 0.75 mil.
