Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a cohesive, self-adhesive, rigid or elastic bandage for fixing, compression and support dressings and permanent elastic compression and support dressings for medical purposes and a process for the manufacture thereof. The bandage comprises a web of warp and weft threads or warp threads in the form of a woven fabric having a porous structure and an amount of ultra fine particles of an adhesive, such as a rubber adhesive, distributed over and bonded to both the exposed surfaces of the warp and weft threads to provide adhesive particles bonded to the threads on both sides of the fabric. The adhesive particles are uniformly distributed over both bandage surfaces without the fiber groups adhering to one another or to the projecting fiber ends of the two surfaces, the particles being of a size distribution and amount sufficient to provide adhesion between overlying bandage surfaces without substantially reducing the porosity and elasticity of the fabric.
