Abstract
A dressing and an epidermal lifting mechanism for use with an application to a predetermined epidermal surface and methods of using same. The epidermal lifting mechanism comprises a strip of material having a first end portion of a predetermined shape, a second end portion of a predetermined shape, and middle portion coupling the first end portion to the second end portion. The first end portion and the second end portion each include a side including an adhesive layer. An overlaying, non-adhesive barrier layer may be located between a portion of the adhesive layer and an end portion.

A dressing comprising:
- a plurality of anchor structures, a treatment structure, and an elastic material;
- said elastic material extending from 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 said one of said plurality of anchoring structures at said first coupling section and to said treatment structure at said second coupling section, and wherein at least one of said plurality of anchor structures includes a first side and a second side, said second side including a plurality of hook members arranged to be fastened to loop members of a hook and loop fastener, and wherein a second one of said plurality of anchor structures includes at least one side having a laterally extending portion, said laterally extending portion including at least one side having a plurality of loop members arranged to be fastened to the hook members on said at least one of said plurality of anchor structures.
A dressing comprising:
- a plurality of anchor structures, a treatment structure, and an elastic material;
- at least one of said plurality of anchor structures having a first side and a second side;
- said elastic material extending from said at least one anchor structure to said treatment structure;
- said elastic material including a first coupling section and a second coupling section, said elastic material being coupled to said at least one anchoring structure at said first coupling section and to said treatment structure at said second coupling section;
- at least one adhesive layer, said at least one adhesive layer having a first adhesive side and a second adhesive side;
- said first adhesive side being coupled to said first side of at least one of said plurality of anchor structures;
- said at least one adhesive layer including a distal end and a proximal end;
- a barrier layer, said barrier layer overlaying at least a portion of said first adhesive side;
- said at least a portion of said first adhesive side located proximate said proximal end of said at least one adhesive layer.
