Abstract
A method for using a dressing (10, 300) having a plurality of anchor structures (301, 303,305, 307), a treatment structure (314) and an elastic material (321, 322), extending from the anchor structures (301, 303, 305, 307) to the treatment structure (314).
Claims17
A method for using a dressing comprising a plurality of anchor structures, a treatment structure, and an elastic material;
- said elastic material extending from at least one of said plurality of anchoring structures to said treatment structure;
- said elastic material including a first coupling section and a second coupling section, said elastic material being coupled to at least one anchoring structure at said first coupling section and to said treatment structure at said second coupling section, said anchor structure including a slit structure for receiving said first coupling section of said elastic material said method comprising:
- positioning said treatment section over a first predetermined area of an epidermis;
- applying at least one anchor structure to a second predetermined area of said epidermis;
- applying at least one other anchor structure to a third predetermined area of said epidermis.

A method for using a dressing comprising a plurality of anchor structures, a treatment structure, and an elastic material;
- said elastic material extending from said anchoring structure to said treatment structure;
- said elastic material including a first coupling section and a second coupling section, said elastic material being coupled to at least one anchoring structure at said first coupling section and to said treatment structure at said second coupling section, wherein said at least one of said plurality of anchor structures includes a slit structure for receiving said first coupling section of said elastic material, and wherein said first coupling section includes a plurality of openings extending therethrough, said slit structure including at least one adhesive material and said first coupling section including a first surface and a second surface;
- said adhesive material engaging said first surface, said second surface, and extending through said openings;
- and said adhesive material securing said coupling section to said slit structure, said method comprising:
- positioning said treatment section over a first predetermined area of an epidermis;
- applying at least one anchor structure to a second predetermined area of said epidermis;
- applying at least one other anchor structure to a third predetermined area of said epidermis.
