Abstract
Medical adhesive dressings are disclosed having handle members adhered to polymeric film layers by a layer of adhesive which adheres firmly to the polymeric film layer, but does not adhere to skin or to the silicone coated surface of a release liner. A portion of the handle extends beyond an edge of the polymeric film to facilitate separation of the film from the release liner, and handling thereof during application to a patient. The adhesive adhering the polymeric film to the patient's skin is more aggressive with respect to the patient's skin than the adhesive on the undersurface of the handle is to the polymeric film, whereby the handle can be peeled away from the polymeric film after the film has been applied to the patient.
