Abstract
A skin closure dressing for eyelids comprising a thin backing material, a layer of adhesive on one face of the backing material, a multi-layer pad covering a portion of the face of the backing material, at least one of the layers of the multi-layer pad being an absorbent material, and an outer layer of the multi-layer pad being a non-adhesive material. The dressing is thin and narrow enough to not cause occlusion of the eye. A pair of side tabs are provided to assist in removal of the dressing.

A skin closure dressing for eyelids comprising:
- a thin backing material with a height dimension substantially smaller than a perpendicular width dimension;
- a layer of adhesive on one face of said backing material;
- a multi-layer pad covering a portion of said face of said backing material, said multi-layer pad having a width dimension substantially equal to said width dimension of said backing material and a height dimension less than said height dimension of said backing material;
- at least one of said layers of said multi-layer pad being an absorbent material;
- and
- an outer layer of said multi-layer pad being a non-adhesive material.
A skin closure dressing for eyelids comprising:
- a sheet of backing material having a height relatively shorter than a width;
- a layer of adhesive on one face of said backing material;
- a triple-layer pad covering a portion of said face of said backing material said triple-layer pad having a width substantially equal to said width of said backing material and a height less than said height of said backing material;
- a central one of said layers of said triple-layer pad being an absorbent material;
- and
- an outer layer of said triple-layer pad being a non-adhesive material.
A skin closure dressing for eyelids comprising:
- a sheet of thin backing material having a height relatively shorter than a width;
- a layer of adhesive covering one face of said backing material;
- a thin triple-layer pad covering only a portion of said height of said backing material on said face and extending along an entire edge of said backing material to cover the entire width of said backing material;
- said backing material including small tabs projecting at each lateral side, extending beyond said width of said backing material, said tabs not having adhesive thereon and having a height corresponding to the height of said triple-layer pad;
- a central one of said layers of said triple-layer pad being a cotton-acrylic blend material;
- and
- an outer layer of said triple-layer pad being a polyurethane coating.
