Abstract
A wound dressing includes a transparent vapor and gas permeable polymeric film which has an adhesive coated surface. A pair of liners or release sheets cover the adhesive coated surface and the liners define overlapping gripping flaps. Additional adhesive strips are positioned at opposed edges of the film and interposed between the adhesive coated surface of the film and the liners. Increased adhesion of the film to the liners occurs at the adhesive strips. The film is perforated adjacent the adhesive strips.
