Abstract
Wound dressings for application to a patient's skin are disclosed, including a dressing layer, a bio-compatible adhesive layer on one side thereof, a support layer on the other side of the dressing layer, the support layer extending around to the other side, and a separate protective layer on the adhesive side of the dressing layer, whereby the extended portion of the support layer is interposed between an edge of the dressing layer and the protective layer so as to facilitate removal and separation of the protective layer from the wound dressing while retaining the dressing layer on the support layer.
