Abstract

A system for delivering both adhesive strips and transparent dressings to a patient. The adhesive strip or strips are provided with tab means for enhanced handleability and easy removal of the adhesive strip, and are releasably adhered directly to either the release liner or carrier layer of the transparent dressing. Preferably, the tab means is an integral part of one of the layers provided for delivery of the thin film dressing. Specifically, either the release liner or the carrier layer is provided as separately removable portions, and the adhesive strip is attached to the release liner or the carrier layer across the adjoining edge of these portions to allow removal of one portion from the balance of the composite at a time. When one portion is so removed, the adhesive strip is also removed and remains attached to that removed portion. The adhesive strip may then be easily handled for delivery to the desired site on the patient.
