Abstract
Abstract A bacteria proof adhesive wound dressing has a moisture vapour transmission rate of greater than 300 g/m 2 /24 hrs. at 37°C at 100% to 10% relative humidity difference and comprises a film which is coated on one face by an adhesive layer and has bonded to its other face a layer of foam. The foam, which is preferably a reticulated polyurethane foam from 0.5 to 2 mm thick, provides support to the film during application. The foam is flexible and conformable enough when bonded to the film when the dressing is in use so that it does not have to be removed after application of the dressing.
