Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A device comprising (1) a relatively thin polymeric film which is conformable to'animal anatomical surfaces, (2) pressure sensitive adhesive attached to at least a portion of one surface of said film, and (3) a release liner attached to the adhesive coated surface of said film, the improvement comprising a releasable layer attached to the surface of said film opposite the surface containing said pressure sensitive adhesive, said releasable layer being attached to said film more tenaciously than the release liner is attached to the adhesive surface of said film.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
89 words
A device comprising (1) a relatively thin polymeric film which is conformable to'animal anatomical surfaces, (2) pressure sensitive adhesive attached to at least a portion of one surface of said film, and (3) a release liner attached to the adhesive coated surface of said film, the improvement comprising a releasable layer attached to the surface of said film opposite the surface containing said pressure sensitive adhesive, said releasable layer being attached to said film more tenaciously than the release liner is attached to the adhesive surface of said film.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The device of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said releasable layer is at least translucent to permit visual observation therethrough.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The device of claim 2 in which the releasable layer is a translucent film.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The device of claim 2 in which the releasable layer is a transparent, film.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The device of claim 2 in which the releasable layer contains a perforation for purposes of rendering it at least translucent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
The device of Claim 5 which comprises an appliance extending through said perforations and attached to the surface of said film opposite to the surface containing said pressure-sensitive adhesive.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device of Claim 1 which comprises an absorbent material attached to the adhesive coated surface of said film.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The device of Claim 1 in the form of a roll in which the release liner and releasable layer are the same.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
55 words
In a method for applying the relatively thin, conformable polymeric film of claim 1 to a substrate comprising removing the release liner from the adhesive coated surface of the relatively thin, conformable polymeric film, the improvement comprising placing said film on said substrate with said releasable layer and removing the releasable layer from said film.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of Claim 9 wherein said substrate is an animal body.
