Abstract
Disclosed is a carrier-delivered dressing comprising a conformable film having first and second surfaces and a continuous outer perimeter. The conformable film includes a continuous strip of pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the first surface along a generally C-shaped first portion of the outer perimeter, and a second portion of the outer perimeter which is substantially adhesive-free. One or more release liners are provided which cover and protect the pressure-sensitive strip of adhesive prior to application. Alternative embodiments including a substantially continuous strip of pressure-sensitive adhesive around the continuous outer perimeter with one or more optionally removable release liners are also disclosed. Methods of use in which the dressings are applied in a shingled manner enable the convenient protection of long incisions or lacerations.

31. ) A method for dressing a wound or incision, comprising:
-
a) providing one or more wound dressings comprising;
i) a conformable film having first and second surfaces and a continuous outer perimeter;
ii) a continuous strip of pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on said first surface along a generally C-shaped first portion of the outer perimeter, a second portion of the outer perimeter being adhesive-free;
