Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
An oral bandage comprising a soft adhesive film having a thickness of at least 5 μm consisting essentially of a polycarboxylic acid and/or a polycarboxylic acid anhydride and a vinyl acetate polymer in a compatible state, wherein the polycarboxylic acid and/or the polycarboxylic acid anhydride and the vinyl acetate polymer are uniformly dissolved in each other without forming individual regions due to phase separation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
An oral bandage comprising a soft adhesive film having a thickness of at least 5 μm consisting essentially of a polycarboxylic acid and/or a polycarboxylic acid anhydride and a vinyl acetate polymer in a compatible state, wherein the polycarboxylic acid and/or the polycarboxylic acid anhydride and the vinyl acetate polymer are uniformly dissolved in each other without forming individual regions due to phase separation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
