摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of producing a hydrophilic polyurethane foam structure containing inert particles, such as activated carbon particles. The method comprises the steps of: a) providing a water phase containing a surfactant and dispersed inert particles; b) providing a isocyanate-terminated polyether having functionality of more than 2; c) mixing said water phase and said isocyanate-terminated polyether, immediately transferring the resulting mixture to a mould or a continuous web, whereby a foam structure is obtained; and d) drying said foam structure until it has a moisture content of at most 10 % (wt). The invention also relates to a foam structure produced by the method and a wound dressing containing the foam structure.
摘要:
A bolster dressing comprising an inner conformable layer and an outer semirigid layer for use in closing wounds and securing skin grafts or surgical flaps. This bolster dressing reduces edema, hematoma, seroma and shear of the wound bed.
摘要:
The invention provides a wound dressing (10) comprising: a backing sheet (12); a wound facing sheet (14) having a wound facing surface and back surface, said wound facing sheet being permeable to wound fluid over at least a first portion of its area and being attached to the backing sheet (12) in a plurality of bonding regions; an array of compartments (16) defined between the backing sheet and the wound facing sheet; an absorbent material contained within the compartments; and a liquid permeable adhesive layer (22) provided on at least a portion of the wound facing surface of the wound facing sheet. The invention provides methods for the continuous manufacture of lengths of such dressings. The dressings are especially suitable for use as or in sacral wound dressings. The dressings can be cut to size and shape without substantial loss of adherency or absorbency.

A dressing and an epidermal lifting mechanism for use with an application to a predetermined epidermal surface and methods of using same. The epidermal lifting mechanism comprises a strip of material having a first end portion of a predetermined shape, a second end portion of a predetermined shape, and middle portion coupling the first end portion to the second end portion. The first end portion and the second end portion each include a side including an adhesive layer. An overlaying, nonadhesive barrier layer may be located between a portion of the adhesive layer and an end portion.
摘要:
A wound dressing comprising a backing layer, a skin facing layer and an absorbent layer between the backing layer and the skin facing layer, characterised in that at least a part of the absorbent layer is adjacent to the backing layer, the backing layer and the absorbent layer are mutually displaceable, and that the skin facing layer is located at the skin facing surface of the backing layer.
摘要:
A wound dressing comprising an absorbent pad, an adhesive layer, and a backing layer is described, along with a dressing support layer configured to retain and deliver the wound dressing to a wound, the dressing support layer having a radial configuration that forms a plurality of alternating covered and uncovered portions of the backing layer along the perimeter of the wound dressing.

摘要:
A wound dressing comprising: a wound contacting sheet having a wound facing surface and a back surface opposite the wound facing surface, and having apertures therein that open or enlarge in the presence of wound exudate; and a plurality of particles comprising one or more therapeutic agents located behind the back surface of the back sheet, wherein the particles are able to pass through the apertures to the wound facing surface of the sheet when the apertures are opened or enlarged in the presence of said wound exudate.
摘要:
An epidermal lifting mechanism (10) comprising at least one strip of flexible material (50), first and second end portions (60), a middle portion (70), adhesive material (40), a plurality of resilient spring structures (20, 22, 24) extending through the at least one strip of flexible material, and a flap mechanism (80) integral with the middle portion.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a puncture seal for sealing a blood vessel having a puncture opening in a body of a human being or an animal. Said seal comprises a pressure chamber (23) which can be attached to the body in the area of the puncture opening and subjected to an overpressure, wherein the pressure chamber (23) has a supporting wall (21) in an area opposite to the body. In order to create a puncture seal, in which the pressure chamber (23) can be reliably sealed once the hypodermic needle has been removed, a sealing element (25) made of a material with a certain elastic return force, which is at least 1 mm thick is provided and placed in the area of the supporting wall (21) to be punctured by the hypodermic needle.
