Abstract
An occlusive dressing consisting essentially of a soft, pliant, fluid absorbent adhesive barrier layer, a thin elastomeric backing layer along one side of the barrier layer, and a removable release sheet covering the opposite skin-contacting surface of the barrier layer. The release sheet is divided into two immediately adjacent separable sections disposed along opposite sides of a predetermined line of separation. Each separable section includes an extended tab which projects outward beyond a perimeter of the skin-contacting surface of the barrier layer for permitting removal of the separable sections without touching or contaminating the exposed surface of the barrier layer. When the line of separation is defined by a series of alternating slits and connecting segments which normally hold the separable sections in contiguous relation, the extended tabs facilitate tearing the separable sections apart.
