Description

[0001] Mobile wound treatment set

[0002] The invention relates to a mobile wound treatment set comprising a band-shaped product for wound care and a housing accommodating the band-shaped product.

[0003] Wound plasters for smaller "everyday wounds" are available as cuttable strip plasters, which can be cut to the correct size by the user, or as pre-cut plasters, usually individually packaged in blisters.

[0004] In order to use a strip plaster, a suitable cutting instrument such as scissors must always be available, which is often not the case, especially when you are on the move. Cut-to-size plasters are available in various sizes and materials. These are usually individually wrapped and sold in folding cardboard boxes. These are usually kept at home or in a handbag, rucksack, etc. when on the move. The folding boxes kept in luggage for on the move often get squashed and after a short time no longer look attractive or are even damaged. Occasionally plasters fall out of the folding box and become crumpled along with their primary packaging or even become dirty. In addition, unpacking the individual plasters before use takes a relatively long time because they have to be taken out of the primary packaging and are additionally protected with a release paper which has to be peeled off.

[0005] Dispensers in which plasters are stored and can be taken out when needed are known from the state of the art. Such dispensers are large and are therefore intended for stationary use. They can often be set up on a stand or mounted on a wall so that the plasters are within easy reach, for example in the office, at the workplace or next to a machine. Other versions of such dispensers are designed so heavy that they can be placed on a work surface and dressing material can be pulled out without the dispenser having to be secured or being able to slip. These dispensers are not suitable for carrying in luggage, for example in a handbag or rucksack.

[0006] A dispenser of the aforementioned type is known, for example, from WO 2015 / 014802 A1. Pre-cut portions of a swab wound into a roll are provided in a sealable housing. The portions can be removed from the housing through a sealable housing opening. As already mentioned, such dispenser boxes are designed for stationary use and are not suitable for mobile use.

[0007] FR 2 696 433 A1 discloses a dispenser for a fixation plaster that can be torn off by hand along a cutting edge without any tools. However, the fixation plaster does not include a wound pad and is intended solely for securing bandages and wound dressings. The dispenser housing is open, and at least one end of the fixation plaster is exposed and thus not protected from contamination.

[0008] The object of the invention is to propose a dispenser which contains dressing material and which can be easily carried in a trouser pocket, handbag or luggage while on the move and at the same time reliably protects the dressing material from contamination and damage.

[0009] This object is achieved by a mobile wound treatment set, which comprises a band-shaped product with a carrier material that is adhesively coated and divided into several segments, wherein each segment comprises at least one further layer. Furthermore, the set comprises a housing that accommodates the band-shaped product and has a removal opening and a tear-off element. In addition, the set comprises a closure cap that can be transferred from a first position, in which the closure cap closes the housing, to a second position, in which the housing is open. The volume of a space enclosed by the housing and the closure cap in the first position is less than 500 cm 3 . The strip-shaped product, the dispensing opening and the tear-off element are completely enclosed by the housing and the closure cap when the closure cap is in the first position.

[0010] The wound treatment set according to the invention allows for easy transport of the band-shaped product and at the same time ensures that the band-shaped product is protected from contamination and crumpling due to pressure. Because when the housing is closed, i.e. when the closure cap is in the first position, the volume of the enclosed space is less than 500 cm 3 The wound treatment kit can be easily stored in a trouser pocket, backpack, or luggage. At the same time, the band-shaped product stored in the case is protected from dirt and damage by the case and the cap in the first position.

[0011] It can be provided that the housing consists of two housing halves. The two housing halves are preferably pivotally connected to one another via a hinge, in particular a film hinge. These two housing halves allow the housing to be opened or folded open and the band-shaped product can be easily removed and reinserted. This ensures that the wound treatment set can be refilled. Because the housing can be folded open, it is easy to clean, in particular by wiping it down, but also to clean it, for example, in a dishwasher or in a disinfectant bath. After cleaning is complete or after the band-shaped product has been fitted, the two housing halves can be easily put back together. This ensures reusability and meets the demand for sustainable systems.In addition, costs can be reduced by reusing the housing and the cap.

[0012] Particularly preferably, it can be provided that the closure cap is fixedly or detachably connected to the housing so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis, preferably via a hinge, e.g. a film hinge, but also a conventional hinge with a pin around which the closure cap can be rotated.

[0013] Depending on the design of the housing, e.g., whether it is made of plastic or metal, and the corresponding manufacturing process, the hinge can be designed differently. If the housing is made of plastic, the closure cap can be connected to the housing via a film hinge and manufactured together with it.

[0014] It is important that the material of the housing and the cap is, on the one hand, strong enough to withstand external pressure, such as that which may occur during transport in a bag. On the other hand, the material must be sufficiently light so that the wound treatment set can be carried comfortably. The housing is particularly preferably made of injection-molded

[0015] Made of plastic. The housing and closure cap can also be molded in one piece using the injection molding process. This allows for cost-effective production of the housing, or the housing and closure cap, with a minimal number of manufacturing steps.

[0016] By definition, the closure cap should not be considered as part of the housing, regardless of how the housing and closure cap are connected to each other.

[0017] The closure cap can preferably be secured in the housing in a form-fitting manner, in particular it can be secured in a latching manner. Furthermore, a magnetic connection or a detachable, material-sealed connection, e.g., adhesive, can be provided.

[0018] However, a positive, particularly locking connection is preferred. In this case, locking elements can be provided which engage in openings or behind undercuts of the other component. By elastic deformation of a section of the closure cap, which can engage behind an undercut of the housing, locking or unlocking can then be provided. A clamping connection is also possible, in which the parts

[0019] Connecting them can be deformed and fixed to one another under tension is conceivable.

[0020] It can further be provided that the removal opening is slightly larger than the cross-section of the strip-shaped product. This ensures that the removal opening allows easy removal of the strip-shaped product, while at the same time providing the best possible protection against dust ingress for the strip-shaped product, which is still located in the housing.

[0021] The strip-shaped product can be accommodated in the housing in roll form. Storing it on a roll inside the housing makes it easier to remove sections of the strip-shaped product. Once the strip-shaped product is used up, a consumer can easily insert a new strip-shaped product in roll form into the housing. It is advantageous here if the roll of the strip-shaped product is pre-cut to the correct size and can therefore be inserted precisely into the housing. In a further embodiment of the invention, a spool onto which the strip-shaped product is wound can be provided to stabilize the roll. This ensures that the strip-shaped product in roll form retains its shape and can be manufactured easily. In addition, the spool makes it easier to insert the strip-shaped product into the housing.

[0022] The coil can be made entirely or partially of plastic, or preferably of paper or cardboard. If the coil is made of paper or cardboard, which is preferred, a certain degree of sustainability can be ensured when refilling the wound treatment kit.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the tape-shaped product in roll form or the tape-shaped product on the spool has an outer diameter of max. 80 mm, preferably 60 mm, and particularly preferably 40 mm. This ensures a small outer dimension of the wound treatment set and easy placement of the tape-shaped product in the housing.

[0024] The tape-shaped product in roll form or the tape-shaped product on a spool can have a width of 5 mm to 40 mm, preferably 10 mm to 35 mm, and particularly preferably 16 mm to 30 mm. This also ensures a small external dimension of the wound treatment set and easy placement of the tape-shaped product in the housing.

[0025] Preferably, the housing contains an axle onto which the strip-shaped product can be attached. It is irrelevant whether the strip-shaped product is in roll form or stored on a spool.

[0026] According to the invention, the "volume of the space enclosed by the housing and the closure cap in the first position" is understood to mean the total volume of the wound treatment set. If the closure cap is in the first position, i.e. on the housing, so that the housing together with the closure cap forms an enclosed space, the band-shaped product, the removal opening and the tear-off element are located within the space formed by the closure cap and the housing.

[0027] The volume of the space enclosed in the housing and the closure cap in the first position can be < 500 cm 3 , preferably < 300 cm 3 and particularly preferably < 250 cm 3 Usually the volume is at least 50 cm 3This ensures that, on the one hand, there is enough tape-like product in the wound treatment set and, on the other hand, the wound treatment set can be easily carried by the user and used on the move.

[0028] In particular, the housing is designed to be almost completely encircled by one hand. This allows the user to easily hold the wound treatment set in one hand and, for example, open the cap and remove the band-shaped product with the other hand.

[0029] To further simplify holding, grip recesses can be formed on the housing. Preferably, the grip recesses can be formed on two opposite sides of the housing, so that the housing cannot easily slip out of the user's hand.

[0030] The recessed grips also make it easier to open the housing for refilling. For this purpose, the two housing halves can be swung apart or separated. This leaves the interior of the housing open and a new strip-shaped product can be inserted into the housing. The strip-shaped product can preferably be placed on the axle in roll form. If necessary, a spool remaining on the axle can be removed beforehand. Alternatively, the strip-shaped product can be stacked. For this purpose, the strip-shaped product is folded in the middle between two segments so that the individual segments lie on top of each other in a stack. The shape of the strip-shaped product then corresponds to a compressed "S". With this alternative design, the axle in the housing can be omitted.This is advantageous because the stacked band-shaped product also eliminates the need for a spool, which leads to a reduction in the weight of the wound treatment kit and to cost savings in the provision of the band-shaped product.

[0031] A further advantage of the wound treatment kit according to the invention is that the housing can be opened manually for refilling without any tools. This can lead to high user acceptance.

[0032] In the context of this invention, the term "mobile" is understood to mean movable, portable or wearable. The mobility leads to the wound treatment set being available "ready for use" at any location, since everything required for rapid treatment of small wounds is contained in the wound treatment set and no additional components, such as scissors, are required. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, provision can be made for a resilient fixing element to be arranged on the housing, wherein the resilient fixing element projects beyond the removal opening. The resilient fixing element prevents the person removing the band-shaped product from coming into contact with the band-shaped product that has not yet been removed when the band-shaped product is removed.If, for example, a section of the band-shaped product is to be torn off from the rest of the band-shaped product, the person removing it normally has to hold the rest of the band-shaped product so that a section of the band-shaped product can be torn off. By providing the resilient fixing element, the person removing a section of the band-shaped product from the housing can press against the band-shaped product remaining below the fixing element, so that the band-shaped product is pressed against the housing by means of the fixing element. The band-shaped product can therefore be clamped between a side surface of the housing and the resilient fixing element.be releasably fixable by means of the fixing element so that in this way it can be held and thus counter-held when a piece of the strip-shaped product is torn off from the rest of the strip-shaped product without the rest of the strip-shaped product being contaminated by contact with the hand. The fact that the fixing element protrudes beyond the removal opening also prevents dirt from penetrating the housing through the removal opening. The fixing element can also extend beyond the removal opening and along the side surface (also called the narrow side) of the housing in order to cover a strip-shaped product that has already been pulled out of the housing through the removal opening. Thus, by adjusting the length of the fixing element, the protective effect on the strip-shaped product pulled out of the housing can be varied and the guide formed by the narrow side and the fixing element can be optimally adjusted.

[0033] In order to increase the fixing effect, the fixing element can have a projection, in particular a rib, a web, a nose or a knob, wherein the projection interacts with a section of the housing opposite it.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fixing element can be designed as a spring tab. For this purpose, conventional elements such as weakenings or wave-shaped

[0035] Sections may be provided in the fixing element. To make it easier to open the closure cap, it may be provided that this has a handle in its area facing away from the hinge and / or that the housing has a handle in its area facing away from the hinge. The handle may protrude from the surface of the closure flap, e.g. at a right angle or at another suitable angle. Alternatively, the handle may also be designed as a recessed grip, ribbing, rubber coating or handle opening.

[0036] It can be particularly preferably provided that the housing is cuboid-shaped, whereby cuboid here is understood to mean not only strictly cuboid-shaped housings, but also those with arched or curved side surfaces, also referred to as housing surfaces, and rounded or oblique transitions between the housing surfaces. The curvature can run uniformly over the entire surface, but designs are also conceivable in which individual surfaces transition from curved to flat designs. In particular, a cuboid shape should also be understood to mean a shape in which the angles are all or partly not strictly 90 degrees.

[0037] The tear-off element arranged on the housing is preferably arranged on the same side surface of the housing as the removal opening. In particular, it is preferred that the tear-off element be provided near an edge of the housing. The tear-off element serves to tear off the strip-shaped product pulled out of the housing by pulling it over the tear-off element.

[0038] One end of the strip-shaped product can be guided through the removal opening of the housing and pulled out of the housing in a removal direction, wherein the removal direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped product.

[0039] In one embodiment of the invention, the tear-off element is designed as a web on the housing. In a further preferred embodiment, the tear-off element can be designed as a cutting edge or can comprise a cutting element on a free-standing side, i.e., on the side with which the tear-off element does not rest against the housing. This can simplify the separation of a section or segment of the carrier material from the strip-shaped product by the user, in that the strip-shaped product is cut through by the cutting edge or the cutting element.

[0040] Advantageously, a fixing means is provided in the housing via which a slight force acts on the band-shaped product so that it is somewhat fixed in the housing. This serves to prevent the band-shaped product from moving back and forth in the housing or from unrolling on its own if it is in a roll. At the same time, when the band-shaped product is pulled out of the removal opening, a slight resistance is applied in the opposite direction to the pulling direction, so that precise removal is possible. The force is set so that the band-shaped product can still be pulled out easily, but slipping back into the housing is prevented.

[0041] Preferably, the fixing means is designed as clamping webs on the axle. Alternatively, a spring element can be provided on the inner surface of the housing, which clamps between the inner surface of the housing and the strip-shaped product and thus presses against the strip-shaped product.

[0042] According to the invention, the carrier material is segmented. The segmentation can be achieved, for example, by visible lines, perforations or weakenings. However, a repeated sequence of different sections of the band-shaped product, such as wound pads applied at a distance, also represents a segmentation according to the invention. The individual segments of the carrier material are preferably in

[0043] Transversely connected to each other via small bridges or separated from each other by perforations.

[0044] The band-shaped product for wound care is, in particular, a dressing material. The dressing material is preferably a wound dressing or plaster.

[0045] According to the invention, a further layer is understood to be any layer that can typically be provided in a wound dressing. Examples include cover paper, release liners, other carrier materials such as fabrics, paper, films or nonwovens, hydrogels, cohesive, adhesive or absorbent layers, and silicone coatings. In a preferred embodiment, an absorbent wound pad is provided as the further layer.

[0046] Preferably, the at least one further layer is identical in each segment. Thus, the band-shaped product can preferably be a series of a plurality of individual wound dressings, which can be stored wound as a roll in the housing. In a further embodiment of the invention, any cover paper or release liner provided can be at least partially adhesive on its surface facing away from the band-shaped product. This enables stable rolling up of the band-shaped product.

[0047] The carrier material can have 10 to 50, preferably 20 to 30 segments. The number of individual segments determines the outer diameter of the wound strip-like product. Therefore, the number of segments must be selected such that, on the one hand, the outer diameter of the roll of the strip-like product is not too large or too heavy, and, on the other hand, the strip-like product comprises enough segments to allow sufficient strip-like product to be stored in the housing.

[0048] Suitable carrier materials according to the invention are films, paper, fabrics and nonwovens.

[0049] According to the invention, the carrier material is adhesively coated. Suitable adhesive coatings include coatings known from the prior art with adhesive properties that are suitable for wound dressings. The carrier material is preferably coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) or hotmelt adhesive, for example based on synthetic rubber or acrylate. Silicone-based adhesive coatings can also be used. The carrier material can be fully or partially adhesively coated. This depends on the intended use of the tape-shaped product. The carrier material is usually adhesively coated on one side.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the carrier material facing the wound is adhesively coated so that the band-shaped product can be adhered to a patient's skin. This corresponds to the side of the carrier material on which the additional layers are arranged.

[0051] The invention, as well as further advantageous embodiments and developments thereof, are described and explained in more detail below with reference to the examples shown in the drawings. The features shown in the description and the drawings can be used individually or in any combination according to the invention.

[0058] Figure 7 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the fixing element,

[0059] Figure 8 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the strip-shaped product and

[0060] Figure 9 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of the band-shaped product. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a housing 3 of the wound treatment set 1 according to the invention. The housing 3 preferably consists of two pluggable housing halves 3a and 3b, wherein the connection of the housing halves 3a and 3b can be achieved by any suitable means, such as by plugging them together and then snapping them into place. The housing halves 3a and 3b are preferably pivotally connected to one another via a hinge 7, in particular via a film hinge.

[0061] A closure cap 6 is pivotably connected to the housing 3 about a pivot axis, fixedly or detachably, as shown in Figure 1, in particular via a film hinge 9. If the housing 3 and the closure cap 6 are formed in one piece, for example by injection molding, the closure cap 6 is molded onto one of the two housing halves 3a or 3b via the film hinge 9.

[0062] The housing 3 has two opposing grip recesses 2, into which a user can engage with the fingers of one hand and thus grasp the housing 3 with one hand.

[0063] A hollow hub or axle 4 for the strip-shaped product 10 (Figs. 2, 8, 9), which is wound into a roll or spooled onto a reel 18 (Fig. 5), is mounted centrally in the housing 3. The axle 4 also consists of two parts, each part being molded, for example, with the corresponding housing part 3a, 3b. The connection between the two parts of the axle 4 is also made by suitable means once the housing parts 3a, 3b are assembled.

[0064] The removal opening 8 extends in a slot-like manner over the narrow side 16 of the housing 3, ie parallel to the course of the axis 4. The removal opening 8 is slightly wider than the strip-shaped product 10, so that the strip-shaped product 10 can be guided out of the housing 3 through the removal opening 8.

[0065] A resilient fixing element 20 is arranged above the removal opening 8 and covers the removal opening 8. The fixing element 20 runs parallel to and at a distance from the narrow side 16 of the housing 3 and extends at least over the removal opening 8, preferably at least over half of the narrow side of the housing 3. This serves to prevent dirt from getting onto the strip-shaped product 10, which has already been pulled out of the housing 3 through the removal opening 8, and ensures that one end of the strip-shaped product is always accessible by fixing the end of the strip-shaped product in its existing position.

[0066] The fixing element 20 is spaced from the outer side of the narrow side 16 such that the strip-shaped product 10 can be guided between the narrow side 16 and the fixing element 20. The distance thus corresponds at least to the greatest thickness of the strip-shaped product. The greatest thickness is located at the point where the carrier material 11 and the at least one further layer 12 lie on top of one another.

[0067] A cutting element 50 is attached to the tear-off element 5, which is located on the same narrow side 16 as the removal opening 8, but on an edge of the housing 3. The cutting element 50 consists of a cutting edge, e.g., a toothed section, pointing at an angle of 45° away from the housing.

[0068] Figure 2 shows the wound treatment set 1 according to the invention, wherein the housing halves 3a and 3b are joined together to form the housing 3. The closure cap 6 is in the second position, the housing 3 is thus open and the removal opening 8, the band-shaped product 10 and the tear-off element

[0069] 5 are not covered by the closure cap 6. The functioning of the wound treatment set 1 according to the invention is explained below with reference to Figure 2.

[0070] When the closure cap 6 is in the second, i.e., open, position, the user can grasp the free-standing end of the strip-shaped product 10 with his fingers and pull the strip-shaped product 10 further out of the removal opening 8. The strip-shaped product 10 is stored in roll form in the housing 3.

[0071] The housing 3 can be held with one hand by the grip recesses 2 and the strip-shaped product 10 can then be pulled out of the housing 3 by the length of a segment 14 with the fingers of the other hand, so that a segmentation line 17, which divides the carrier material 11 into the individual segments 14, comes to lie above the tear-off element 5. Thus, a first segment 14A lies outside the area between the closure cap 6 and the narrow side 16 of the housing 3 and the segment 14B lies above the narrow side 16.

[0072] If one now wishes to separate the segment 14A, the resilient fixing element 20 is pressed down so that the strip-shaped product 10 is clamped in the region of the segment 14B between the narrow side 16 and the fixing element 20. The segment 14A is then separated by the cutting element 50 in the usual manner.

[0073] Once the separation or severing is complete, the closure cap 6 can be moved into the first position, so that the housing 3 is closed and the band-shaped product 10, the removal opening 8, and the tear-off element 5 are completely enclosed by the housing 3 and the closure cap 6. Thus, the band-shaped product 10 is protected from contamination, and the wound treatment set 1 can be stored in a bag again.

[0074] Figure 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the wound treatment set 1, wherein the closure cap 6 has been removed. In this embodiment, the closure cap 6 can be completely removed from the housing 3. The basic shape of the housing 3 is round. A projection is arranged on the removal opening 8, which projection has the tear-off element 5 with the cutting element 50 at its free-standing end. The axis 4 is designed as a hollow cylinder and runs continuously between the two housing halves 3a and 3b. This has the advantage that the user can insert a finger through the hollow cylinder 4 to hold it. To tear off a segment 14 of the strip-shaped product 10, the housing 3 can be fixed in the hollow cylinder 4 with a finger and the strip-shaped product 10 can be pulled out of the housing until one of the segmentation lines 17 comes to lie over the tear-off element 5.By counterpressure using the finger in the hollow cylinder 4, for example by a rotating movement of the housing 3, the segment 14 pulled out of the wound treatment set 1 can be separated.

[0075] In Figure 4, the closure cap 6 is placed on the housing 3 of the wound treatment set 1 from Figure 3, i.e., it is in the first position. Typically, the closure cap 6 is clamped onto the housing 3 using suitable locking means (not shown).

[0076] Figure 5 shows a schematic section through the wound treatment set 1 according to the invention. The band-shaped product 10 is wound on a spool 18. The spool 18 is placed on the axis 4 and can be rotated on the axis 4. The spool 18 is preferably made of paper or cardboard, since a spool made of paper or cardboard is lightweight and can be produced sustainably and cost-effectively.

[0077] The strip-shaped product 10 is laid in the housing 3 in such a way that it runs out of the housing 3 through the removal opening 8 below the fixing element 20. The strip-shaped product

[0078] 10 runs parallel to the narrow side 16 up to the tear-off element 5, where it can be shortened by means of the cutting element 50. The closure cap 6 closes the housing 3 and completely covers the fixing element 20, the segment 14 protruding from the housing 3, and the tear-off element 5.

[0079] Figure 5 shows that the projection 21 of the fixing element 20 can be pressed against the section 22 to tear off a segment 14, thus clamping the strip-shaped product 10 between the fixing element 20 and the narrow side 16 of the housing 3. The projection 21 serves to concentrate the force exerted on the fixing element 20 at a single point.

[0080] Figure 5 further shows the band-shaped product 10 in roll form wound onto the spool 18. The roll comprises a plurality of segments 14, each segment 14 representing an individual wound dressing, preferably a plaster. In this embodiment, the carrier material 11 has 25 individual segments 14 and thus comprises 25 individual plasters. However, 10 to 50, preferably 20 to 30 segments 14 are also possible. The outer diameter D of the band-shaped product 10 in roll form in the unused state, i.e. when no segment 14 has been torn off, is up to 80 mm, preferably up to 60 mm and particularly preferably up to 40 mm.

[0081] Figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the wound treatment set 1 according to Figure 5. The structure of the housing 3 and the other components of the wound treatment set 1 are almost identical to the embodiment in Figure 5. However, the strip-shaped product 10 is not in roll form, but is folded along the segmentation lines 17, so that the individual segments 14 are stored as a stack in the housing 3. In this embodiment, there is preferably no axle 4 in the housing 3, since an axle could make it more difficult to pull the strip-shaped product 10 out of the housing 3. Alternatively, a guide element can be provided (not shown) which makes it easier to pull out the individual segments 14 by positioning the segments 14 in such a way that they do not get stuck when sliding through the removal opening 8.

[0082] The stack of the strip-shaped product 10 is formed in such a way that after a first segment 14-1, viewed in the longitudinal direction (wherein the removal direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped product 10), the strip-shaped product 10 is folded along the segmentation line 17 and thus a subsequent segment 14-2 lies on the segment 14-1 essentially opposite to the longitudinal direction of the first segment 14-1. In this case, either second further layers 12B of the segments 14, which in this exemplary embodiment are designed as release liners, or the non-adhesively coated side of the carrier material 11 come to lie on top of one another in alternation.

[0083] Figure 7 shows a perspective view of the fixing element 20. In the embodiment shown, the fixing element 20 is designed as a spring tab made of plastic. To improve the spring action, the fixing element 20 has a wave-shaped section 25 near the area formed on the housing 3. A recess 26 is provided at the free-standing end of the fixing element 20, which serves as a guide for the user's finger or thumb.

[0084] Figure 8 shows a section of a first embodiment of the band-shaped product 10. The carrier material 11 is adhesively coated over its entire surface on an adhesive surface 19. A further layer 12 is applied to the adhesive surface 19 at regular intervals, so that individual sections or segments 14 are formed on the carrier material. In the embodiment shown, the individual further layers 12 extend from one long side of the carrier material 11 to the opposite long side, but the further layers 12 can also be spaced from the long sides. In Figure 8, the further layers 12 are designed as absorbent wound pads.

[0085] In general, the distance between the individual further layers 12 in the segments 14 is selected such that a single segment 14 has sufficiently free adhesive coating, ie sufficient adhesive surface 19 is available so that a segment 14 separated from the band-shaped product 10 can be used as a self-adhesive wound dressing or plaster.

[0086] To prevent the wound pads 12 from being damaged during cutting, the cuts should be made in the gaps between the wound pads 12. It is therefore advantageous to provide line-like indexing, the so-called segmentation lines 17, on the carrier material 11. In the embodiment, these indexings are printed lines or other patterns (e.g., dots) and can show the user where to cut without there being a risk of hitting the wound pads 12. Preferably, the segmentation lines 17 run centrally between two wound pads 12 so that each segment 14 is the same size. For example, lines woven into the carrier material 11 or other designed patterns that are visually different from the actual carrier material 11 can also serve as indexing.

[0087] The further embodiment of the band-shaped product 10 according to Figure 9 is basically constructed in the same way as the band-shaped product 10 according to Figure 8. However, a second further layer 12 (referred to as second further layer 12B) is provided. This is a release liner which extends completely over the surface of the carrier material 11 and covers both the adhesive surface 19 and the further layer 12. In each segment 14, two overlapping sections of the release paper 12B are applied. After a segment 14 has been separated from the band-shaped product 10, the two sections of the release paper 12B can be easily pulled off the carrier material 11 and the separated segment 14 can be used as a plaster.

[0088] The individual segments 14 are separably connected to one another at the segmentation line 17. For this purpose, predetermined tear points in the form of perforations running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the band-shaped product 10 are introduced into the carrier material 11. With such a segmentation design, the

[0089] Cutting element 50 on the tear-off element 5 is omitted.
