Multipurpose adhesive strips designed with a wound contact layer that includes an absorbent pad containing antimicrobial agents. These strips typically are short (usually less than 4 inches/10 cm) in length and narrow (typically 1 to 2 inches/2.5 to 5 cm) flexible strips evenly covered on one side with pressure-sensitive adhesive and a central wound pad with the antimicrobial agent (e.g., silver). Antimicrobial multipurpose adhesive strips are intended for single use (i.e., disposable); they are usually supplied in precut sizes and/or shapes that may be packaged sterile; they are used to prevent infections and/or treat infected wounds.
