Abstract

A high moisture vapor permeable film dressing with an adhesive backing and a release sheet are disclosed. The dressing has two opposed side edges which are free of adhesive and a perforation through the adhesive near the side edge to allow the dressing to be applied to the patient and the adhesive-free edges removed, which prevents the edges of the dressing from rolling off the patient and dislodging the dressing.
