Abstract
A package assembly for a plastic film bandage includes a plastic film bandage having skin adhesive on one side thereof, with a support sheet removably attached to the other side of the bandage and extending beyond the edge of the bandage in at least one area. A tube typically communicates across an end of the bandage with a portion of the tube being positioned against the one side thereof. Means are provided for anchoring the tube into the above-described position. Peel-away protection sheet means are releasably attached to the bandage, covering the one side of the bandage and that portion of the tube which is positioned against the one side. Hinge means are provided, attaching the support sheet and at least a portion of said peel-away protection sheet means at a peripheral position spaced from the bandage. Thus, upon opening, at least a portion of the protection sheet means may be removed from the bandage and may serve as a grippable extension of the support sheet as the bandage is applied to a patient.
