A medical dressing () with a dressing body () and a flap (). The flap can include a fixed end () coupled to the dressing body, and a free end () movable with respect to the dressing body between a first position and a second position in which the free end is positioned in overlapping relationship with the dressing body. A second major surface () of at least the free end of the flap can be configured to be secured to the dressing body, and the flap can be located toward a proximal end of the dressing body, such that a distal portion of the dressing body is free of the flap. The dressing body can be adhered to skin with a skin-contact adhesive (e.g., a silicone adhesive) (), and the flap can be secured to the dressing body with a securing adhesive (e.g. an acrylate adhesive) () that can have a higher adhesion or adhesive strength.
