| abstract |
A dressing for covering a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, the dressing being able to adhere to the skin, the mucosa and/or a wound on a protruding portion of a living being without exposing the skin to a significant stress after application and the dressing comprising a substantially water-impervious film and a skin-friendly adhesive, which dressing has a low modulus allowing an easy deformation during application but yet a sufficiently high elasticity to essentially prevent deformation of wrinkles after application, wherein the dressing is optionally covered in part or fully by one or more release liners or cover films to be removed before or during application and wherein the dressing has the general form of a boomerang which facilitates the perfect adaptation during application to cover cracks at the tip of, e.g., a finger or toe at the edge of the nail. |
