Provided is an adhesive sheet for affixation to the body which is excellent in enhancement and persistence of the blood circulation promoting action, has high affixability and conformability as a sheet, and is easily and widely applicable to the body in any use situation. That is, the present invention relates to an adhesive sheet for affixation to the body housed in a container, containing the following components (A) and (B): (A) bubbles containing carbon dioxide gas in a bubble fraction of 10% or more and 40% or less, and (B) water, wherein the total area occupied by bubbles having an imaginary diameter of 5 mm or more is 10% or less, in 100% of the surface area of the adhesive sheet for affixation to the body, a content of carbon dioxide gas in the total amount of the adhesive sheet for affixation to the body is from 100 to 20,000 ppm, and the adhesive sheet for affixation to the body is sealed in a low gas-permeable container.

A disposable absorbent article is described. The disposable absorbent article includes a topsheet forming at least a portion of a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article; a backsheet forming at least a portion of a garment-facing surface of the absorbent article; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; a front end portion, a rear end portion, and a central portion; and a first adhesive for attachment of the disposable absorbent article to an undergarment. The first adhesive is disposed on the garment-facing surface of the front end portion and the rear end portion and not on the central portion. The absorbent article exhibits a peel force of at least 1.0 N, about 1.1 N or about 1.2 N in accordance with the Peel Force test and leaves no residue on an undergarment in accordance with the Adhesive Residue test.

A wound dressing product that includes a substrate layer having an upper surface and a lower surface; a tacky silicone coating composition present on the upper surface and on the lower surface; and upper and lower release sheets covering the substrate and the tacky silicone coating composition on the upper and lower surfaces, respectively, and adhered to the surfaces by the tacky silicone coating composition, wherein the upper surface is less tacky than the lower surface whereby the upper release sheet can be removed from the upper surface more readily than the lower release sheet can be removed from the lower surface. Also provided are methods for making such dressings.

The present invention provides a packaging material for a patch, the packaging material comprising: an inner layer film made of a polyethylene terephthalate-based resin having heat sealing properties; and a substrate film, wherein a heat-sealing surface of the inner layer film comprises an isophthalic acid-modified polyethylene terephthalate resin having a copolymerization ratio of isophthalic acid component of 10 mol % to 20 mol %. More preferably, the inner layer film made of the polyethylene terephthalate-based resin having heat sealing properties is a multi-layer film comprising at least two layers including a heat sealing surface side layer made of an isophthalic acid-modified polyethylene terephthalate resin having a copolymerization ratio of isophthalic acid component of 10 mol % to 20 mol % and a layer made of an isophthalic acid-modified polyethylene terephthalate resin having a copolymerization ratio of isophthalic acid component of 0 mol % to 5 mol %.

Disclosed is an enhanced trauma bandage suitable for use as a compression dressing, the structure including an elastic bandage roll, a pass-through structure attached to one end of the elastic bandage roll, a pass-through structure having both an opening and a bandage guide structure at one edge of the opening; a support surface on a lower surface of the pass-through structure; and an absorbent pad removably attached to the lower surface of the pass-through structure.

Trimmable conformable wound dressings, kits containing the same and methods of using the same. The wound dressings may protect a treatment site from microbial contamination or other disturbances while a wound heals or to enable the application and maintenance of vacuum over the treatment site. The wound dressings may include first and second sections of support layer material on opposite sides of one or more intermediate sections of support layer material. The first and second sections of support layer material meet the intermediate sections of support layer material along peel tab junctions that provide peel tabs.

Devices, kits and methods described herein may be for treatment to skin, including but not limited to wound healing, the treatment, amelioration, and/or prevention of scars or keloids. A book-like packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device may be used to apply a dressing to a subject. The packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device may apply and/or maintain a strain in an elastic dressing.

Devices, kits and methods described herein may be for wound healing, including the treatment, amelioration, or prevention of scars and/or keloids by applying and/or maintaining a pre-determined strain in an elastic skin treatment device that is then affixed to the skin surface using skin adhesives to transfer a generally planar force from the bandage to the skin surface. Applicators are used to apply and/or maintain the strains, and some of the applicators are further configured to provide at least some mechanical advantage to the user when exerting loads onto the skin treatment device.
