Chemical aspects of, or use of materials for, bandages, dressings or absorbent pads (other aspects of bandages, dressings or absorbent pads A 61 F 13/00; radioactive dressings A 61 M 36/14)
When classifying in groups A 61 L 15/08 to A 61 L 15/12, classification is also made in group A 61 L 15/14 if the use of materials characterised by their function or physical properties is of interest. [5]
