Surgical dressing with delivery system and method of manufacture

An adhesive composite dressing comprising:

• a backing having top and bottom faces and opposing first and second edges;
• a pressure sensitive adhesive located on the bottom face of the backing;
• a first liner sheet including a first release surface attached to a portion of the pressure sensitive adhesive and a first retention surface including a discontinuous release coating that is embossed, the first retention surface being attached to the pressure sensitive adhesive along the first edge of the backing, wherein the strength of the bond between the first retention surface and the pressure sensitive adhesive is greater than the strength of the bond between the first release surface and the pressure sensitive adhesive;
• and
• a second liner sheet including a second release surface attached to a portion of the pressure sensitive adhesive and a second retention surface including a discontinuous release coating that is embossed, the second retention surface being attached to the pressure sensitive adhesive along the second edge of the backing, wherein the strength of the bond between the second retention surface and the pressure sensitive adhesive is greater than the strength of the bond between the second release surface and the pressure sensitive adhesive.
