Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a process for producing a wound dressing delivery system. The wound dressing delivery system is formed by extruding first and second thermoplastic resins onto the surface of a carrier sheet to form first and second thermoplastic films; the first thermoplastic film functions as a temporary support for the second thermoplastic film and the second thermoplastic film functions as a wound dressing and has a moisture vapor transmission rate of greater than 300 grams/square meter/24 hours (ASTM E-96:37.8° C./90% R.H.). The first thermpolastic resin is extruded onto the surface of the carrier sheet and the second thermoplastic resin is extruded onto the surface of the first thermoplastic film such that the first thermoplastic film is interposed between the carrier sheet and the second thermoplastic film.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A process for producing a wound pressing delivery system comprising the steps of: extruding first and second thermoplastic resins onto the surface of the carrier sheet to form first and second thermoplastic films, said first thermoplastic film functioning as a temporary support for said second thermoplastic film and being capable of releasing from said second thermoplastic film and said second thermoplastic film being useful as a wound dressing and having a moisture vapor transmission rate of greater than 300 grams/square meter/24 hours (ASTM E-96:37.8° C./90% R.H.); said first thermoplastic resin being extruded onto the surface of said carrier sheet and said second thermoplastic film being extruded directly onto the surface of said first thermoplastic film without the aid of an adhesive such that said first thermoplastic film is interposed between said carrier sheet and said second thermoplastic film.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
A process for producing a wound pressing delivery system comprising the steps of: extruding first and second thermoplastic resins onto the surface of the carrier sheet to form first and second thermoplastic films, said first thermoplastic film functioning as a temporary support for said second thermoplastic film and being capable of releasing from said second thermoplastic film and said second thermoplastic film being useful as a wound dressing and having a moisture vapor transmission rate of greater than 300 grams/square meter/24 hours (ASTM E-96:37.8° C./90% R.H.); said first thermoplastic resin being extruded onto the surface of said carrier sheet and said second thermoplastic film being extruded directly onto the surface of said first thermoplastic film without the aid of an adhesive such that said first thermoplastic film is interposed between said carrier sheet and said second thermoplastic film.
