Abstract

Sealing members and methods of manufacturing the same are described. A first film layer and a second film layer each having a first side and a second side can be provided. A first adhesive can be coupled to the second side of the first film layer to form a first adhesive layer. A second adhesive can be coupled to the second side of the second film layer to form a second adhesive layer, and a third adhesive can be coupled to the first side of the second film layer to form a third adhesive layer. One or more perforations can be formed through the third adhesive layer, the second film layer, and the second adhesive layer. A first side of the third adhesive layer can be coupled to a second side of the first adhesive layer.

Claims (46)

1. A tissue cover including a first film layer having a first side and a second side, a first adhesive layer coupled to the first film layer, and a second adhesive layer coupled to the first adhesive, the second adhesive layer having a plurality of perforations extending through the second adhesive layer, the first film layer, the first adhesive layer, and the second adhesive layer being coextensive, the cover formed by a process comprising the steps of:

coupling a first adhesive to the second side of the first film layer to form the first adhesive layer having a first side adjacent to the second side of the first film layer;

coupling a second adhesive to a second film layer to form the second adhesive layer having a first side adjacent to the second film layer;

forming one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer;

coupling a second side of the second adhesive layer to a second side of the first adhesive layer; and

removing the second film layer.

2. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein coupling the first adhesive to the second side of the first film layer comprises casting the first adhesive onto the first film layer.

3. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein coupling the first adhesive to the second side of the first film layer comprises laminating the first film layer to the first adhesive.

4. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein coupling the first adhesive to the second side of the first film layer further comprises curing the first adhesive.

5. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein forming one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer comprises punching one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer.

6. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein forming one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer comprises cutting one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer.

7. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein forming one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer comprises melting one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer.

8. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein forming one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer comprises drilling one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer with a rotary tool.

9. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein forming one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer comprises forming each perforation with an average effective diameter between about 2 mm and about 50 mm.

10. The tissue cover of claim 1 , wherein forming one or more perforations through the second film layer and the second adhesive layer comprises forming each perforation with an average effective diameter of about 30 mm.
