摘要:
A fibrous, velvet-like, non-woven web having hemostatic and adhesive properties adapted to seal a wound comprising fibers of collagen or an ionizable, water-insoluble, partial salt of collagen. The web is formed by slurrying the fibers, which have hemostatic and adhesive properties, in an aqueous liquid, introducing a predetermined amount of slurry into a tray and freeze drying the slurry.

摘要:
A plasma coating device for treating a wound comprises a plasma chamber having: one or more electrodes, a gas supply inlet, a plasma outlet exposed to ambient pressure, and an ignition system operatively connected to the electrodes for providing a non-thermal equilibrium plasma within the plasma chamber. An aerosol delivery system is operable to introduce a bioresorbable material as an aerosol into the plasma, to produce a coating on the wound surface.
摘要:
The invention relates to a hemostatic composition in powder form comprising collagen of the fibrillar type comprising a content of fibrous collagen and/or fibrillar collagen of at least 70% by weight relative to the total weight of the collagen, and at least one monosaccharide, and optionally, at least one compound selected from coagulation factors and glycosaminoglycans. The invention further relates to a method for preparing such composition, and to a unit comprising such composition and a spraying device.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods for treating bacterial infection, which methods find utility in the treatment of, for example, infected ulcers, optionally infected diabetic ulcers. In particular, this invention relates to treating bacterial infection, for example, infected diabetic ulcers by topical administration of at least one aminoglycoside antibiotic at the site of infection, in combination with at least one antibacterial agent, which antibacterial agent is administered remote from the site of infection, preferably administered systemically. In a particular embodiment, the present invention relates to a composition for use in treating bacterial infection, the composition comprising gentamicin sulphate (a water-soluble broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic) uniformly dispersed in a type-I collagen matrix; incombination with at least one systemically-administered antibacterial agent. The present invention provides bactericidal activity against most strains of aerobic gram-negative and gram-positive and facultative anaerobic gram-negative pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus .
摘要:
Described are hemostasis devices useful for implantation in biopsy tracts, which devices comprise highly compact, dried hemostatic sponge elements. Preferred devices also include compacted sponge matrices exhibiting high density and rigidity in combination with high volumetric expandability when wetted. Also described are methods for making and using such devices.
