Abstract
Abstract A vascular puncture dressing is described. The dressing includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape section, and at least a pair of adhesive strips extend forwardly from the forward edge of the dressing. The dressing preferably is transparent at least in an area adjacent the forward edge so that the vascular puncture wound can be observed without removal of the dressing.
