Abstract
Disclosed is a barrier for medical dressings which is impervious to blood or other body fluids. The barrier may be joined or pre-attached to the top surface of a medical dressing. The dressing may then be handled by the barrier and applied to a wound. The barrier prevents blood and other body fluids from penetrating the dressing and contacting a health care worker or other individual who may be treating the patient. A method for manufacturing the barriers for medical dressings is also disclosed.
