An envelope is comprised of two sheets of material that are placed one on top of each other with their interior sides facing each other with their edges sealed to each other with an adhesive to form an airtight enclosure. The envelope has at least one medical patch inside it that is attached to the interior side of at least one of the sheets and a layer of medical grade pressure sensitive adhesive surrounding the at least one medical patch. The pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to a part of the surface of the interior side of the sheet in order to attach the sheet of material and the at least one medical patch to the body of a patient. The medical patch can be an electrode for measuring a patient's vital signs or delivering an electric shock or a transdermal patch for delivering a drug to a patient.
