    摘要: An absorbent wound dressing (1) comprising a superabsorbent material (13) that is in fluid communication with the surface of a wound to which the dressing is applied when in use. The superabsorbent material (13) is enclosed in an envelope (14,15) having a wound-facing surface that is knitted or woven from a yarn comprising gelling fibres.

    摘要: A disposable blood transfer conduit is used in association with a pump drive unit, a blood collection vessel and a blood concentration device. The blood transfer conduit comprises a blood transfer tube (13) and a peristaltic pump element (12) having an enclosed housing mounted about the blood transfer tube (12). At least part of the blood transfer tube (13) is resiliently deformable and extends through the enclosed housing of the peristaltic pump element (12). The disposable blood transfer conduit may be used in the concentration of blood for autologous blood transfusion.

    摘要: A device for collecting cellular material from a fluid sample comprises first and second chambers that are releasably connected and which define a fluid flow path from the first chamber to the second chamber. A porous membrane is between the chambers when they are connected to each other, in the fluid flow path. An absorbent body is positioned in close proximity to the downstream surface of the porous membrane, and a resilient member is arranged to urge the absorbent body towards the porous membrane. In use, a sample introduced into the first chamber contacts the upstream surface of the porous membrane and fluid is drawn through the porous membrane and is absorbed by the absorbent body. Cellular material is retained upon the upstream surface of the porous membrane. After separation of the chambers, the porous membrane can be removed from the device for analysis of the deposited cellular material.

    摘要: An apparatus (1) for negative pressure wound therapy comprises a source of reduced pressure (10) and first (22a) and second (26a) chambers, the first chamber being in fluid communication with the source of reduced pressure such that a negative pressure may be generated in the first chamber, the negative pressure being prevented from exceeding a predetermined value by way of a pressure release means (30), and the second chamber comprising means (28) for establishing a fluid connection with a wound. A valve (24) between the first and second chambers permits the negative pressure in the second chamber to increase in response to an increase in the negative pressure in the first chamber and prevents the negative pressure in the second chamber from dropping in response to a drop in the negative pressure in the first chamber.

    摘要: A wound dressing comprises an antimicrobial layer. The antimicrobial layer comprises a knitted silver thread, optionally with a non-metallic thread. The thread or threads may be knitted onto a non-woven sheet of a thermoplastic material. The wound dressing may further comprise any of an absorbent material and a hydrophobic gel and may be used in a system for negative pressure wound therapy.

    摘要: A non-adhesive absorbent wound dressing (10) is suitable for application about a jointed limb. The wound dressing (10) has a first portion (20) adapted to conform to and wrap around an upper part of the limb, a second portion (30) adapted to conform to and wrap around a lower part of the limb, and a hinge portion (40) between said first portion (20) and said second portion (30), said hinge portion (40) in use lying adjacent to the joint of the limb. The wound dressing (10) also comprises a porous wound contact sheet (80) and a substantially liquid-impermeable backing sheet (90), the wound contact sheet (80) and the backing sheet (90) being bounded (50) together at their periphery and along lines that define a plurality of pockets (60) in both the first portion (20) and the second portion (30), the pockets (60) containing absorbent material (70).
