- the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an adhesive body dressing and more particularly to a method according to preamble of claim 15.
- Hydrocolloid adhesive dressings are generally known for many 10 different uses as polymer dressings. These hydrocolloid adhesive dressings are used as body or skin dressings for improving or preventing any skin related medical or esthetical concerns such as wounds, blisters, acne, corns, cracked skin, burns, pressure ulcers, scarring or stretch marks.
- the hydrocolloid adhesive dressings are used for certain time depending on the purpose of use. After use, the hydrocolloid adhesive dressings are removed from the body and skin and discarded.
- the hydrocolloid material in the hydrocolloid adhesive dressing absorbs moisture from the skin or body creating advantageous healing conditions for a wound or advantageous treatment 20 conditions for skin.
- the hydrocolloid adhesive composition is susceptibility to breakdown and detachment from the skin upon swelling due to absorbed moisture. This together with external wearing limit the use time of the hydrocolloid adhesive dressing. Due to the relative short-term use of the hydrocolloid adhesive 25 dressings as wound dressings and dressings for blisters or the like, they are often removed and discarded in acute situations.
- hydrocolloid adhesive dressings may often end nature and landfills where they may remain causing long- term waste problems.
- One of the problems associated with the prior art is that many materials 30 and compositions which are typically used in adhesive body dressings causes allergic reactions to a skin.
- hydrocolloid adhesive dressings should conform with body curves with relative low stress.

In some embodiments, the hydrocolloid adhesive layer comprises a uniform hydrocolloid adhesive material layer. The backing material layer made of material comprising polymers 35 derived from renewable biomass sources reduces irritation of a skin when the adhesive body dressing is used.
- biodegradable means that material or substance can be completely converted into water, CO2, and biomass through the action of microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. This property is 5 not dependent on the origin of the raw materials, but only on the chemical composition of the polymers. Further, biodegradability of polymers is appropriately described by test and assessment methods in international standards. Industrial composting is today a well-established disposal process for organic waste materials. One test of biodegradability is the controlled composting 10 test according to ISO 14855. Additionally, ISO 17088:2021, the European standard EN 13432:2000 and the American standard ASTM D 6400 define basic requirements for packaging and packaging materials to be considered as biodegradable and compostable in industrial composting facilities.

The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an adhesive body dressing and more particularly to a method according to preamble of claim 15. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Hydrocolloid adhesive dressings are generally known for many 10 different uses as polymer dressings. These hydrocolloid adhesive dressings are used as body or skin dressings for improving or preventing any skin related medical or esthetical concerns such as wounds, blisters, acne, corns, cracked skin, burns, pressure ulcers, scarring or stretch marks. dressings for dermal ulcers, burns and other exudative wounds. 15 The hydrocolloid adhesive dressings are used for certain time depending on the purpose of use. After use, the hydrocolloid adhesive dressings are removed from the body and skin and discarded. The hydrocolloid material in the hydrocolloid adhesive dressing absorbs moisture from the skin or body creating advantageous healing conditions for a wound or advantageous treatment 20 conditions for skin. At the same time the hydrocolloid adhesive composition is susceptibility to breakdown and detachment from the skin upon swelling due to absorbed moisture. This together with external wearing limit the use time of the hydrocolloid adhesive dressing. Due to the relative short-term use of the hydrocolloid adhesive 25 dressings as wound dressings and dressings for blisters or the like, they are often removed and discarded in acute situations. Thus, the hydrocolloid adhesive dressings may often end nature and landfills where they may remain causing long- term waste problems. One of the problems associated with the prior art is that many materials 30 and compositions which are typically used in adhesive body dressings causes allergic reactions to a skin. Furthermore, hydrocolloid adhesive dressings should conform with body curves with relative low stress. Furthermore, a backing layer of a hydrocolloid adhesive dressing is

The adhesive body dressing was worn by six volunteer test subjects for the purpose of determining its characteristics with duration of adhesion and general convenience. The adhesive body dressing was worn between 24 and 48 20 hours by the test subjects. After a test adhesive body dressing was removed from a test subject, the results were evaluated on the basis of a multiple-choice questionnaire. All test adhesive body dressing was remained on the skin until a test subject decided to detach a test adhesive body dressing. Two of the test subjects 25 reported an irritation on a skin. Example 2 (comparative example) An adhesive body dressing of the invention is produced on the laboratory. The 30 hydrocolloid adhesive layer is produced as follows: 40 wt% polyacrylic acid; 26,5 wt% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; 30 wt% purified water; 3 wt% glycerin; 0,15 wt% carbamide; 0,1 wt% aluminium glycinate, and 0,2 wt% dipotassium glycyrrhizate is stirred and hydrocolloid adhesive is obtained. A typical commercially available film comprising polytetrafluoroethylene and polyurethane 35 is supplied for a backing layer. Finally, the hydrocolloid adhesive layer having a 0,3 mm thickness is
used to cover the adhesive layer to provide an adhesive body dressing . The adhesive body dressing was worn by the six volunteer test subjects for the purpose of determining its characteristics with duration of adhesion and general convenience. The adhesive body dressing was worn between 24 and 48 5 hours by the test subjects. After a test adhesive body dressing was removed from a test subject, the results were evaluated on the basis of a multiple-choice questionnaire. All test adhesive body dressing was remained on the skin until a test subject decided to detach a test adhesive body dressing. 10 One of the subjects reported a slight irritation on a skin in the vicinity of the edge of the test adhesive body dressing Example 3 in accordance with the invention 15 An adhesive body dressing of the invention is produced on the laboratory. The hydrocolloid adhesive layer is produced as follows: 40 wt% polyacrylic acid; 26,5 wt% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; 30 wt% purified water; 3 wt% glycerin; 0,15 wt% carbamide; 0,1 wt% aluminium glycinate, and 0,2 wt% dipotassium glycyrrhizate is stirred and hydrocolloid adhesive is obtained. A typical 20 commercially available compostable film comprising polymers obtained from renewable biomass sources is supplied for a backing layer. The compostable film is made of material comprising polymers obtained from renewable biomass sources. The polymers in the backing layer are polylactic acid. Finally, the hydrocolloid adhesive layer having a 0,3 mm thickness is 25 used to cover the adhesive layer to provide an adhesive body dressing . The adhesive body dressing was worn by the six volunteer test subjects for the purpose of determining its characteristics with duration of adhesion and general convenience. The adhesive body dressing was worn between 24 and 48 hours by the test subjects. 30 After a test adhesive body dressing was removed from a test subject, the results were evaluated on the basis of a multiple-choice questionnaire. All test adhesive body dressing was remained on the skin until a test subject decided to detach a test adhesive body dressing. None of the subjects reported an irritation on a skin. 35 The inventors surprisingly found out that an adhesive body dressing having a backing layer made of compostable material comprising polymers
obtained from renewable biomass sources does not irritate a skin of the adhesive body dressing user. Example 4 in accordance with the invention 5 An adhesive body dressing of the invention is produced on the laboratory. The hydrocolloid adhesive layer is produced as follows: 40 wt% polyacrylic acid; 26,5 wt% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; 30 wt% purified water; 3 wt% glycerin; 0,15 wt% carbamide; 0,1 wt% aluminium glycinate, and 10 0,2 wt% dipotassium glycyrrhizate is stirred and hydrocolloid adhesive is obtained. A typical commercially available compostable film comprising polymers obtained from renewable biomass sources is supplied for a backing layer. The compostable film is made of material comprising polymers obtained from renewable biomass sources. The polymers comprise polylactic acid. The adhesive 15 body dressings are produced such that an additional adhesive layer made of a hot melt glue is provided on the backing layer. The hot melt glue is made of compostable materials and it comprises 18 wt% waxes, 64 wt% resins and 18 wt% polymers, based on the total weight of the composition. The adhesive layer has thickness of 0,3 mm. 20 Finally, the hydrocolloid adhesive layer having a 0,3 mm thickness is used to cover entire adhesive layer to provide an adhesive body dressing. The adhesive body dressing was worn by the six volunteer test subjects for the purpose of determining its characteristics with duration of adhesion and general convenience. The adhesive body dressing was worn between 24 and 48 25 hours by the test subjects. After a test adhesive body dressing was removed from a test subject, the results were evaluated on the basis of a multiple-choice questionnaire. All test adhesive body dressing was remained on the skin until a test subject decided to detach a test adhesive body dressing. 30 None of the subjects reported an irritation on a skin. The inventors surprisingly found out that an adhesive body dressing comprising a hydrocolloid adhesive layer having a 0,3 mm thickness and made of biodegradable or compostable material is more user friendly than an adhesive body dressing having a hydrocolloid adhesive layer comprising non- 35 biodegradable substances. Furthermore, the inventors surprisingly found out that an adhesive body dressing having such hydrocolloid adhesive layer is able to
prevent skin irritation caused by an additional adhesive layer comprising compounds which typically irritate skin. In other words, irritative compounds of the adhesive layer do not penetrate through the hydrocolloid adhesive layer made of biodegradable or compostable material. 5 Example 5 Adhesive body dressings are produced on the laboratory. The hydrocolloid adhesive layer is same as in example 3. 10 Films having thickness 35 µm and 20 µm are supplied for a backing layer. The films are typical commercially available compostable films. The compostable films are made of material comprising polymers obtained from renewable biomass sources. The polymers comprise polylactic acid. Two adhesive body dressings are produced providing the hydrocolloid adhesive 15 layer directly on the backing layer. Two adhesive body dressings are produced such that an additional adhesive layer made of a hot melt glue is provided on the backing layer and the hydrocolloid adhesive layer is provided on the adhesive layer. The hot melt glue is made of compostable materials and it comprises 18 wt% 20 waxes, 64 wt% resins and 18 wt% polymers, based on the total weight of the composition. A flexibility test of the adhesive body dressings was conducted and results are shown in table 1. During the flexibility test the adhesive body dressings were stretched and 5 min after the stretching was analysed relative difference between 25 dimension of the original adhesive body dressing and the adhesive body dressing after stretching. Smaller relative difference denotes that an adhesive body dressing adapts better on a human body. In other words, an adhesive body dressing conforms with body curves.
30 Table 1 Relative difference between dimension of the original adhesive body dressing and the adhesive body dressing after stretching
The inventors surprisingly found out that an additional adhesive layer between a hydrocolloid adhesive layer and a backing layer improves adaptation of an adhesive body dressing comprising backing layer made of biodegradable or 5 compostable material comprising polymers obtained from renewable biomass sources. The invention has been described above with reference to the examples and to the examples shown in the figures. However, the invention is in no way 10 restricted to the above examples but may vary within the scope of the claims.
