Abstract
Biocompatible adhesive protective dressings, and methods of manufacturing and using the same, having properties suitable for use on moist tissues such as gingiva. The dressing may include a flexible sheet, e.g. a metal foil, with an irradiated gamma radiation sensitive adhesive on one surface. The properties of gamma sensitive adhesives are modified by exposure to gamma radiation so as to increase their adhesiveness and volume. The dressing may be applied to human or animal tissue to protect the tissue from the environment, and retain autogenous and other substances at the application site. The dressing may be used at surgical sites or wounds.
