Abstract
The dressing system of the present invention provides, in one aspect, a composite dressing that allows a wound to be dressed in one easy step and redressed without disturbing the wound. The composite dressing comprises a contact component having a bottom side facing a wound, and a top side. A dressing component is releasably attached to the top side of the contact component such that the dressing component can be readily separated from the contact component if pulled relative to the contact component. The contact component can remain on the wound to prevent disturbance, and another composite dressing or dressing component can be applied to the contact component.
