There is provided a laminate suitable for use as a wound dressing or as a transdermal medicament delivery system. The laminate is comprised of a carrier sheet sandwiched between a removable cover sheet and a removable backing sheet. The laminate has a cover sheet tab and a backing sheet tab, both tabs extending away from the carrier sheet. The laminate also comprises a holding portion. The holding portion and the two tabs facilitate application of the carrier sheet, which is normally in polyurethane film, to a surface of the patient and avoids stretching or wrinkling the carrier sheet. The carrier sheet will normally comprise a therapeutic agent, such as a bacteriostat and may be provided with an adhesive island to cover the wound. |
