Abstract
A bandage includes a wound treating section for collecting exudate from a wound, a hydrophobic layer attached to the wound treating section, and a liquid soluble adhesive positioned on the hydrophobic layer for removably adhering the bandage to a body part proximate the wound. The adhesive is dissolved upon contact with a liquid so that the bandage separates from the body part without painful sticking to the body part. The wound treating section can include a hydrocolloid or gauze pad.
