Adhesive Bandages
Adhesive bandages are single-use, preassembled wound dressings consisting of a small absorbent or non-adherent pad fixed to the center of a flexible backing strip that is coated on one side with a skin-compatible pressure-sensitive adhesive and protected by a removable release liner until application. They are designed for the management of minor cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds and injection sites, providing a mechanical barrier against dirt and microorganisms, cushioning and limited compression, while helping maintain a moist, protected microenvironment over the wound. Typical constructions use cellulose or synthetic nonwoven pads and polymer film or fabric backings (rigid, flexible or elastic), with perforations or breathable films to allow water vapor transmission, and medical-grade acrylic, rubber-based or silicone adhesives formulated to balance secure adhesion with atraumatic removal. Variants may incorporate antiseptic, hemostatic or hypoallergenic features, and are manufactured under medical device quality systems to defined requirements for biocompatibility, adhesion performance, sterility (where applicable), and labeled shelf-life.
