Bandage with peelable cover

Abstract

The present invention relates to a peelable wound dressing system configured to maintain a controlled wound environment while enabling repeated access for treatment. The system includes a flexible base layer adhered to skin and a transparent peelable cover affixed by a resealable attachment mechanism. The cover is configured for multiple peel-and-reseal cycles, permitting wound inspection and treatment without removing the base layer. Optional features include antimicrobial agents in the base layer, anti-fog treatments in the cover, perforations or catheters for exudate drainage, and access pathways for lavage, infusion, or drug delivery. In some embodiments, sensor networks and wireless communication circuits are integrated into the cover or base to monitor wound and skin parameters, with power supplied by micro-batteries, passive RFID/NFC, or energy-harvesting elements. These features collectively improve infection control, visualization, treatment access, monitoring, and extended wear, addressing critical unmet needs in human and veterinary wound care.
