Abstract
An elongated, self-adhesive wound dressing is provided which includes a hydrogel layer secured to a vapor permeable bacterial barrier layer. The vapor permeable barrier layer possesses sufficient porosity such that it readily adheres to the hydrogel layer without the need for an adhesive layer. The wound dressing is adapted to be wrapped around a portion of a patient's body and secured without the use of an adhesive.
