Abstract

A self adherent window dressing includes a fabric tape layer having an adhesive side and an opposite non-adhesive side. The fabric tape layer has an opening therein to allow viewing of a wound or injection site therethrough. A semipermeable transparent film layer closes the opening in the fabric tape layer. The transparent film layer has an adhesive side and an opposite non-adhesive side. The film layer adhesive side is adhered on the non-adhesive side of the fabric layer around the opening. An absorbent fiber layer having an opening generally corresponding to the opening in the fabric tape layer is mounted on the adhesive side of the fabric tape layer such that the openings in the absorbent fiber and fabric tape layers are in alignment and the fabric tape layer extends beyond the periphery of the absorbent fiber layer. A non-adherent porous film layer of a shape generally corresponding to the shape of the absorbent layer is adhered to the fiber layer.
