An apparatus for removing a dressing without removing an adhesive portion comprising: an absorbent central portion; an adhesive frame; the absorbent portion coupled to the adhesive frame by a perforated border; and the perforated border with a tab, whereby a user holds the tab and pulls in any one of a direction to loosen free the absorbent portion from the adhesive frame via the perforated border, thereby freeing the absorbent portion from an applied skin surface without a need for removing the adhesive frame from the applied skin surface for mitigating against a risk of MARSI, tube dislodgement, or any risk associated with constant adhesive tape removal from a skin surface during long-term wound or tube insertion dressing.

A nasal cavity bandage dressing and method of use thereof, including a bandage made from a waterproof, antimicrobial, and adhesive material; and a multi-layered, absorbent sterile dressing affixed to the bandage. The bandage affixed with the non-adherent multi-layered absorbent sterile dressing is configured to fit within a nasal cavity.

A bandage including a padding material, a hydrogel material; and a substrate is taught. The padding material of the bandage is co-disposed by the hydrogel material and both the padding material and the hydrogel material are carried by the substrate. The bandage is created by providing a substrate having a first and second planar surface. Then, a hydrogel material is placed onto the second planar surface of the substrate. Finally, a padding material is placed onto the second planar surface of the substrate so that the padding material is co-disposed by the hydrogel material.

The current invention is bandage that provides increased security of medical gauze and antibiotic ointment for wounds on fingers. The gauze is on the interior of the bandage, and is used to cover a finger wound. Antibiotic ointment is on the gauze to promote a healthy healing process. The exterior is a rubber tube, which comes in a variety of sizes to allow a secure fit. The tube is composed of a hypoallergenic rubber.

In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a wound dressing with elastic properties for use with a human or an animal. The wound dressing includes a plurality of individual segments, each segment connected to at least one other segment by an elastic connector, and each segment having at least two perforated layers, with at least one layer having a plurality of protrusions. The wound dressing further includes a plurality of spacing elements, with each spacing element disposed between adjacent segments and retained by either the adjacent segments or the elastic connector.
