摘要:
A tissue-protective device (16, 18, 20, 60, 66, 76, 86, 96, 110, 130) and a method for protecting tissue against abrasion by attaching a pair of mutually overlying membranous layers (26, 28, 122, 124) to an area of a tissue surface such as a person's skin with only the peripheries of the layers interconnected with each other, so that the layers can easily slip along each other. An absorbent pad (88, 98) may be placed between one of the layers and the tissue, and may be impregnated with medication to be delivered to the tissue being protected. A quantity of a lubricant can be contained between the layers. The device is thin, to avoid causing pressure when it is used in restricted spaces, as within one's shoe. The device can also be implanted internally as where tendons move along an implanted plate.

The present invention relates to a disposable article to prevent the misuse of a transdermal dosage form (Fig. 1 (a)). The article is comprised of an outer layer (1) having an inner layer-facing side and an opposite side; an inner layer (3) having an outer layer-facing side and an opposite side, the inner layer (3) joined to the outer layer (1) to form one or more closed material reservoir (2) between the outer layer-facing side of the inner layer (2) and the inner layer-facing side of the outer layer (1); and adhesive (4) covering a first portion of the opposite side of the inner layer (3), wherein the adhesive (4) is a heat activated adhesive that changes color and/or is activated when the article is subjected to elevated temperatures, thereby sealing the transdermal dosage form within the article.

A modular bandage (100) for treating wounds (12) located on highly contoured, non-planar regions of a person includes a standoff (30) for placement near the wound, and a sheet (20) of material for forming a sealed environment over the wound in conjunction with the standoff. The modular bandage (100) may further include a heater (40) to thermally regulate the sealed environment formed by the standoff (30) and the sheet of material (20). A sheet of material (20) for such a bandage (100) may include various uniform or compound structures.

A bandage (10) for fixating a cannula (40) of a venous catheter relative to a skin surface part of a person comprises: a supporting element (18) to be arranged adjacent to the perforation aperture and below the cannula (40) for supporting the cannula, a connecting foil (25) defining a cover foil area, a cover sheet (12) of foil material having opposite first and second surfaces, the first surface of the cover sheet defining an area substantially exceeding the cover foil area, and an adhesive material applied to the first surface of the cover sheet. The supporting element (18) is connected to and suported by the connecting foil (25) which defines a transition area (28) between the supporting element and the cover sheet, as a folding line is defined within the transition area. The cover sheet (12) is foldable onto the supporting element (18) along the folding line for covering the cannula, for covering the perforation aperture, and for arranging the first surface of the cover sheet facing towards the supporting element, covering the supporting element and the connecting foil, adhering to the skin surface part and fixating the cannula onto the supporting element.
摘要:
A nasal dilator (10) that prevents the outer wall tissue (60,62) of the nasal passages (54,56) of the nose (12) from drawing in during breathing comprises a truss member (16). The truss member (16) includes a flexible strip of material (18) having a first end region (20), a second end region (22) and an intermediate segment (24). The first and second end regions (20,22) are adapted to engage the outer wall tissue (60,62) of first and second nasal passages (54,56) of the nose (12). The truss member (16) further includes resilient bands (30a,30b) secured to the strip of material (18). The resiliency of the bands (30a,30b) acts to stabilise the outer wall tissue (60,62) and thereby prevents the outer wall tissue (60,62) of the nasal passages (54,56) from drawing in during breathing. The first and second end regions (20,22) are secured to the outer wall tissue (60,62) by an adhesive layer whose effect is less at the intermediate segment (24)
摘要:
A wound dressing (1) is formed from a release-coated, thermoformed plastics carrier film (2) which has a cavity (3) into which is dosed a measure of self-adhesive, hydrophillic polymer gel or gel foam dressing material (5). The cavity (3) in the carrier film has sloped or bevelled edges (4) to provide correspondingly tapered edges in the dressing material layer. An adhesive cover layer (6) is releasably supported on the carrier around the border (7) of the cavity (3) closing the cavity, and the dressing material is secured to it. A sealing film (8) is disposed over and releasably bonded to the adhesive cover layer (6).

A nasal dilator 10 that prevents the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of the nasal passages 54, 56 of the nose 12 from drawing in during breathing comprises a truss member 16. The truss member 16 includes flexible strip of material 18 having a first end region 20, a second end region 22 and an intermediate segment 24. The first and second end regions 20, 22 are adapted to engage the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of first and second nasal passages 54, 56 of the nose 12. The truss member 16 further includes resilient bands 30a, 30b secured to the strip of material 18. The resiliency of the bands 30a, 30b acts to stabilise the outer wall tissue 60, 62 and thereby prevents the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of the nasal passages 54, 56 from drawing in during breathing. The first and second end regions 20, 22 are secured to the outer wall tissue 60, 62 by an adhesive layer whose effect is less at the intermediate segment 24.
