The tape product prevents wounds on skin when peeling off a tape member from occurring. The tape product 100 includes a tape member 10 having an adhesive surface, and a mesh member 20 releasably provided on the adhesive surface of the tape member 10. When the tape product 100 is applied to skin, the adhesive surface of the tape member 10 adheres to the skin through the openings 21 of the mesh member 20.

A method of making a patch comprising the steps of (1) providing a carrier material; (2) coating an underside of the carrier material with a suitable non-UV-curable acrylic adhesive, the adhesive being a solution of a polyacrylate in an organic solvent or solvent mixture, the solvent or solvent mixture being used in an amount of from 25% to 70% by weight; (3) assembling the patch; (4) forming a grid structure on the patch so that it comprises a plurality of intersecting strips. According to the invention, the adhesive is applied at a temperature of 90 C. to 120 C. for a time of 5 s to 60 s, and before and/or after the application of the adhesive, the patch is activated by repeated irradiation of the underside by ultraviolet light.

An adhesive skin patch including a base film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on one side of the base film, and a release liner peelably laminated so as to cover an adhesive surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains an acrylic copolymer, and wherein the base film has a thickness of 1 to 9 mm, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a thickness of 16 to 50 mm, the adhesive skin patch having good adhesiveness to a skin surface and a good fit feeling as if no skin patch is adhered; and a wound body of an adhesive skin patch obtained by winding the adhesive skin patch.

The present invention relates to a multilayered wound dressing particularly for wound treatment in the granulation and epithelization phase. The wound dressing comprises a) a first layer as a wound contact layer having a first side and a second side, and b) at least one second layer as an absorbent layer having a first side and a second side and comprising a hydrophilic polyurethane foam, wherein the polyurethane foam comprises a water fraction of at least 10% by weight of water.
