摘要:
A dressing (110) for promoting healing and pain relief of the body of a living organism having a pathologic condition has at least one layer of conductive material (114) having a resistance no greater than 1000 Ω /cm 2 . When placed proximate a portion of the body of the living organism suffering from the pathologic condition (5), the dressing alters the electrodynamic processes occurring in conjunction with said pathologic condition to promote healing and pain relief in the living organism. When used as a wound dressing, the conductive material (114) is placed in contact with tissue (21) around the periphery of the wound and with the wound (19), lowering the electrical potential (23) and resistance (27) of the wound (19) and increasing the wound current. In an exemplary embodiment, the conductive material (114) is a multi-ply nylon fabric (194) plated with silver by an autocatalytic electroless plating process and with the plies in electrical continuity. The dressing provides an antimicrobial and analgesic effect. The dressing (110) may be provided for numerous applications (130, 150, 160, 170, 180, 184, 200, 210, 220, 230) and may include other layers such as an absorbent layer (116), a semi-permeable layer (118) and additional layer of conductor material (129). Multilaminate embodiments of the present invention (20) exhibit conductive material concentration gradients and, potentially, a capacitive effect when sequential conductor layers (24, 26, 28) are insulated by intervening layers (22).
摘要:
A waterproofed fabric and a sealing tape for a waterproofed fabric each include a waterproof layer, a resin composition containing spherical particles with a specified particle size laminated to the waterproof layer. A waterproof article of clothing uses the fabric and the sealing tape. The article has a waterproof property, is very comfortable to wear, inexpensive, and light in weight.

A laminate is provided that is highly conformable to the contours of a wearer's body when used in a personal care absorbent article or a medical article. The laminate is extendible in its cross direction to a width at least 25 % greater than an original unstretched width upon application of a stretching force and exhibits little or no retractive force in the cross direction once they have been stretched. Elastic elements are placed to provide stretch and recovery in the machine direction of the laminate without affecting the inelasticity of the cross direction. When the garment is worn, the laminate is extendible only in one axis where needed to provide a substantially perfect fit on the wearer while the retractive force provided in a second axis of laminate helps ensure snug fit.
摘要:
A wound dressing having anti-microbial activity comprises a first fibre capable of bonding with silver (1) cations. The wound dressing comprises a blend of the first fibre to which silver (1) cations are bonded and a second fibre which is substantially free from silver. The wound dressing comprises from 0.01 to 5.0 percent by weight of silver (1) cations, based on the weight of fibre.
摘要:
A multi-purpose sheet (10) material comprising an absorbent layer (2) and a cut-resistant material in contact with the absorbent layer (2). The cut-resistant material can comprise a cut-resistant support system, such as cut-resistant support elements (1) formed in the absorbent layer for example. The cut-resistant material may alternatively comprise cut-resistant particles, such as polymer particles having an average size of at least about 100 micrometers for example. Preferably, the sheet material exhibits an absorbent efficiency of at least about 0.2 and a slice resistance of at least about 30 kgf/cm, and more preferably an absorbent efficiency of at least about 1.0 and a slice resistance of at least about 40 kgf/cm. It is also preferred that sheet material exhibit a cut-resistance of at least about 30 kgf/cm, an absorbent efficiency of at least about 0.2, and a wet abrasion loss of less than about 400 mg per 100 revolutions.
