Abstract
Disclosed is a package and dispenser for a per se known finger bandage comprising an elongated backing carrying an adhesive layer on one surface thereof with an absorbent pad seated on the adhesive layer substantially intermediate the ends of the bandage, the free ends of bandage on either side of the pad being folded inwardly to significantly reduce the size of the package, the bandage being contained between opposed top and bottom sheet materials lightly adhered together around their common periphery to enclose the bandage, the bandage having release sheets covering the adhesive layer on either side of the pad, the release sheet on side of the pad being secured at its end furtherest from the pad to one of the sheet materials and the release sheet on the other side of the pad being secured at its end furtherest from the pad to the other sheet material, whereby stripping apart of the two sheet materials will also remove the release sheets from the bandage.
