Abstract:
The subject matter of the present invention is a bacterium or a mixture of bacteria having an antagonistic activity with respect to strains of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecium, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus mirabilis, Bacteroides fragilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium acnes, Candida albicans and/or Malassezia furfur as well as the use thereof in the treatment and/or prevention of infections or colonizations related to those pathogens. The invention pertains to care products containing one or more non-pathogenic antagonistic strains intended to prevent and/or treat infections or colonizations on skin, wounds, mucous membranes and appendages.
Abstract:
The subject matter of the present invention is a photopolymerizable liquid composition comprising at least one epoxidized polybutadiene prepolymer, at least one cationic photoinitiator, and at least one thioxanthone-derived photosensitizer, which can, for example, be in the form of a liquid dressing. The subject matter of the invention is also a process for obtaining a polymerized film from said photopolymerizable liquid composition, characterized in that said composition is applied to tissues such as the skin, the skin appendages or the mucous membranes so as to form a uniform liquid film, and the film thus obtained is subjected to ultraviolet radiation, preferably ultraviolet-visible radiation having a wavelength of between 380 and 405 nm, preferably between 385 and 395 nm.
Abstract:
A compression bandage formed by the assembling of a nonwoven based on short conjugate fibers which have been crimped and of a nonelastic material. The compression bandage can be used in a bilayer compression system, in particular for the prevention or treatment of venous pathologies.
Abstract:
A self-adhesive compression bandage, in particular for the treatment and prevention of pathologies of venous origin and lymphedema. This bandage is manufactured by the assembling of two self-adhesive nonwovens based on short conjugate fibers which have been crimped. The fibers are preferably made of polyester. The bandage can in addition comprise a supplementary layer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an article comprising at least one polymeric substrate assembled on at least one layer of silicone polymer, characterized in that at least one of the polymeric substrate or of the layer of silicone polymer has been brought into contact with particles of titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide and/or zinc oxide, before assembly of said article, and in that at least one of the polymeric substrate or of the layer of silicone polymer has been brought into contact with water before or after assembly of said article. The invention also relates to a method of preparing said article, as well as the use of particles of titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide and/or zinc oxide, for improving the adherence between a polymeric substrate and a layer of silicone polymer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to acetylsalicylic acid or a salt thereof, at a concentration comprised between 200 and 4800 μM, for use in the prevention and/or treatment of diabetic wounds.
