Abstract:
A modified adhesive gauze for absorbing discharge from wounds in an adhesive bandage package. The modified adhesive gauze includes a structural membrane that supports a thick dome shaped gauze pad and a plurality of adhesive strips to hold the gauze in place. The gauze pad has an increased capacity to contain matter discharged from the wound and would therefore require less changing while still providing protection for the wound.
