Abstract

A medical adhesive bandage and delivery system including a medical adhesive bandage and a package. The bandage has a backing, an adhesive on a first surface of the backing, and a pad proximate the first surface of the backing. At least one line of separation (for example, a line of perforations) is provided in the backing and the pad to facilitate selective manual separation of the bandage into more than one bandage. The package may include a release area or liner, with the adhesive on the medical adhesive bandage releasably adhered to the release area or liner. The package preferably tends to retain the bandage therein when the package is torn and the bandage is separated along a line of separation.
