Abstract
Disclosed is a medical dressing having a pad and a border portion. The pad can have a rim and the border portion extends along said rim. The medical dressing can be arranged in a first substantially planar configuration and be folded along a first line, and a second portion of said medical dressing is formed and a second substantially cup-shaped configuration. The first portion can be facing and contacting said second portion. Said first substantially planar configuration the first and second portions can be connected by means of a fixed connection along a second line, which defines a second line segment having a first and a second end-point. The first and second line segments are connected at their respective first end-points such that an angle between 90 and 175 degrees is formed between the first and second line segments when the medical dressing is in the first substantially planar configuration.

13. A method for providing a medical dressing for a convex part of the human body, said method comprising:
-
providing a medical dressing having a backing layer, a pad, an adhesive body contact layer and a release layer, wherein said pad is provided between said backing layer and said adhesive body contact layer, and said release layer is provided on said adhesive body contact layer; folding said medical dressing along a first line segment such that a first portion of the backing layer comes into contact with a second portion of the backing layer and wherein said release layer thereby becomes the outermost layer of the folded medical dressing; welding said medical dressing along a second line segment such that a welded seam is provided, wherein said welding is done through the backing layer, adhesive body contact layer and release layer, such that a first part of the backing layer and a first part of the adhesive body contact layer become fixedly connected to a second part of the backing layer and a second part of the adhesive body contact layer by means of said welded seam. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
