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.

A conformable wound dressing system that includes a wound dressing and a dressing support layer. The wound dressing includes a backing having two major surfaces and a perimeter that includes first and second lateral edges, an adhesive disposed on one major surface of the backing and the dressing support layer removably mounted on the other major surface. The dressing support layer includes juxtaposed first and second sections that define a gap between them. Each section comprises a medial portion and at least four spokes extending therefrom toward a lateral edge. The at least four spokes include two outer spokes and at least two spaced-apart inner spokes. At least two of the at least four spokes of each section extend beyond the lateral edge to form peripheral support layer tabs.

A medical access opening protection device including an annular adhesive band carried on an outer perimeter region of a moisture-impervious film, a release liner carried by the adhesive band, and an annular barrier band of barrier material disposed concentrically within the adhesive band. The moisture impervious film may have sufficiently high maximum elongation value and ultimate tensile strength to accommodate medical equipment without breaking and without causing the adhesive band to break contact with a user's skin. Alternatively, or in addition, the film may comprise an annular flange and blister surrounded by the annular flange, and the annular adhesive band is disposed on the annular flange.

A kinesiology tape bandage includes a piece of anisotropically stretchable woven fabric, a stretchable dressing attached to a first side of the fabric, and pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to at least some of an exposed area of the first side of the fabric. The kinesiology tape bandage is applied to a body by stretching the kinesiology tape bandage to at least 125% of its unstretched length, positioning a dressing of the bandage over a wound on the body, and pressing the stretched bandage against the body to activate a pressure-sensitive adhesive on the bandage and adhere the stretched bandage to the body.

A wound closure device and a method of its use are disclosed. The wound closure device comprises a wound closure strip, the wound closure strip comprising a wound-facing side and a top side, the wound-facing side comprises an adhesive applied over at least a portion of the wound facing side of the wound closure strip and a non-symmetric, two-part release liner assembly detachably adhered to the adhesive, the release liner assembly comprising a first section and a second section with the second section comprising a wound closure strip-free portion forming a tab.

A treatment system including one or more of a wound dressing having one or more of a substrate element, a dressing member disposed on the substrate element, an adhesive element disposed on the substrate element, and a tether connecting the wound dressing to a treatment device.

In general, in an aspect, a barrier includes a water impenetrable membrane having two sides. On one side of the membrane, a continuous strip of adhesive surrounds an adhesive-free central area. The entire extent of the continuous strip of adhesive bears one or more release strips. The membrane is resilient, flexible, and stretchable with an elongation at break in the range of 150% to 1000% (using test ASTM D412).

A medical dressing comprising a backing layer and a self-supporting substrate. The backing layers form a perimeter around the self supporting substrate and holds the self supporting substrate in place on a wound. The self supporting substrate comprises a valve. The adhesive article forms a sealed environment between the medical article and the surface surrounding the wound such that a negative pressure can be maintained in the sealed environment through the valve.

A treatment system including one or more of a wound dressing having one or more of a substrate element, a dressing member disposed on the substrate element, an adhesive element disposed on the substrate element, and a tether connecting the wound dressing to a treatment device.

A medical dressing comprising a backing layer and a self-supporting substrate. The backing layers form a perimeter around the self supporting substrate and hold the self supporting substrate in place on a wound.
