Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
There is disclosed a wound closure tape comprising a nonwoven fabric having a pressure-sensitive adhesive uniformly disposed over one surface thereof. The tape is strong enough to hold minor wounds closed and yet will, conform to skin contours and will permit flexing and bending without undue restraint or detachment of the tape. The nonwoven fabric employed in the invention is a web of continuous filaments that are randomly oriented in the plane of the fabric, with the filaments being essentially free of bonding at cross-over points (that is at points of intersection), and wherein the fabric is emboss bonded in an intermittent pattern.
