Abstract
The dressing system of the present invention provides, in one aspect, a composite dressing that allows a wound to be dressed in one easy step and redressed without disturbing the wound. The composite dressing comprises a contact component having a bottom side facing a wound, and a top side. A dressing component is releasably attached to the top side of the contact component such that the dressing component can be readily separated from the contact component if pulled relative to the contact component. The contact component can remain on the wound to prevent disturbance, and another composite dressing or dressing component can be applied to the contact component.
Claims21
A composite dressing for a wound, comprising:
- (a) a contact component constructed of a continuous sheet that covers all portions of the wound over which the contact component is applied, an entire extent of a bottom surface of said contact component being substantially free from adhesives and thus non-adherent to the wound, said contact component also having a top side, and said contact component is liquid permeable and allows permeation of liquids therethrough with respect to the wound;
- and
- (b) a dressing component adapted for use in treating the wound, said dressing component and said contact component being releasably attached directly to each other such that they can be applied to the wound together as a composite dressing in one step.
