Medical device
Abstract
A medical device, comprising a plastic film and a support structure, wherein the plastic film, per se, has insufficient intrinsic stability to retain a planar shape against standard gravity, the support structure supports an area of the plastic film such that at least 80% of an entire area of the plastic film is inhibited from deforming, regardless of orientation, in response to standard gravity, and the support structure is manually inseparable from the plastic film.
