The invention is directed to a bandage, particularly a lip and/or nose bandage for use on wounds (surgical or traumatic), scratches, sores, cold sores, blisters, fever blisters, ulcers, pimples, lesions, and burns. The lip and/or nose bandage comprises a base sheet layer (on one end associated with at least one skin adhesive); a dressing layer; and either or both of: (the same base sheet layer) on the other end associated with at least one mucosal adhesive; and/or a malleable layer positioned between the base sheet and dressing layers.

[Problem]

The present invention provides a dressing material for puncture that allows puncture while observing a blood vessel of a puncture site and a puncture needle with an ultrasound examination device, and allows a puncture device to be directly fixed. Consequently, the present invention provides a dressing material for puncture that avoids entering of air between an adhesive and a skin when the dressing material for puncture is attached and improves not only an ultrasonic transparency but also a moisture permeability.

[Solution]

A dressing material for puncture of the present invention includes a support film, a frame sheet, and a release liner, which are laminated from an upper side in this order. An adhesive is used to bond the support film and the frame sheet, and bond the frame sheet and the release liner. The support film is a base material having a thickness of from 10 m to 80 m. The adhesive has a mass per unit area of from 30 g/m.sup.2 to 80 g/m.sup.2.

The invention is related to an electronic patch (EP) comprising at least: (A) a first polymeric layer (A) with a first surface a) and a second surface b) which is parallel to surface a), whereby layer (A) provides a water vapour permeability of 500 g/m.sup.2d; (B) an electronic device (B) providing at least one flat surface which is positioned on the first surface a) of the first polymeric layer (A); (C) optionally a second polymeric layer (C) providing a vapour permeability of 500 g/m.sup.2d, preferably in a range of 500 to 2000 g/m.sup.2d; (D) optionally a further layer (D) as water barrier positioned between the electronic device (B) and the first polymeric layer (A); (E) optionally an adhesive on the second surface b) of the first polymeric layer (A); (F) optionally a polymeric foam (F) with a moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR) of 500 g/m.sup.2d, more preferably in a range of 550 to 2000 g/m.sup.2d, most preferably in a range of 600 to 1500 g/m.sup.2d covering the electronic device (B), determined according to DIN 53122-1:2001-08;
whereby the electronic patch (EP) is surrounded by the first polymeric layer (A) and optionally the second polymeric layer (C) in a way that the overall water vapour permeability of the electronic patch (EP) is 400 g/m.sup.2d as well as a process for the production of the electronic patch (EP).

A customizable bandage includes an internal layer, a container layer containing a hardening agent and/or medicinal agent, an external layer surrounding the internal layer and the container layer, an adhesive layer disposed on a lower surface of the external layer, and a padding layer disposed on a region of the lower surface of the external layer. The hardening agent, when disseminated from the container layer, can harden the internal layer into a semi-rigid state.

Adhesive constructions include a mammalian skin surface and an adhesive article in contact with the mammalian skin. The adhesive article includes a substrate and an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer in contact with the mammalian skin is a microstructured surface with channels. At least one channel extends to at least one boundary of the adhesive layer. The microstructured surface is a permanently microstructured surface, such that the channels in the surface of the adhesive layer permit transport of fluid.

The present invention is directed to a wound dressing, surgical tape or plaster, optionally comprising an absorbent pad, and an adhesive part in which the adhesive part is an adhesive dissolvable paper or polymer.
