The present invention relates to sterile adhesive bandage products and, more particularly, to adhesive bandages comprising a pocket for positioning gauze pads on a wound.
Present day wound care requires the application of adhesive bandages thereto and their frequent replacement. Each such replacement requires the often painful and harmful ripping-off of the old bandage from the patient's skin, and with the attendant risk of exposing the wound to pathogens.
Currently, therefore, there is a need for a more user-friendly wound care system that significantly reduces the chances of infection of the wound.
