Abstract:
The present invention relates to an adherent interface dressing intended for application directly to a wound. Said adherent interface dressing includes a non-adherent cohesive gel formed from a hydrophobic elastomeric matrix consisting of a styrene-(ethylene/butylene)-styrene or styrene-(ethylene/propylene)-styrene triblock elastomer optionally associated with a styrene-(ethylene/butylene) or styrene-(ethylene/propylene) diblock copolymer; said elastomer plasticized by means of a mineral oil, and containing dispersed therein a small quantity of hydrophilic particles of a hydrocolloid; and a flexible open-mesh fabric, said fabric including threads coated with the non-adherent cohesive gel such as to leave the meshes substantially unsealed, The fabric is a heat-set knit with weft yarns, said yarns being continuous multifilament yarns with non-elastic filaments, whereof the extensibility in the transverse direction measured in accordance with standard EN 13726-4 is between 0.01 and 0.5 N/cm.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an article that includes 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 the layer of silicone polymer has been brought into contact with particles of titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide and/or zinc oxide, before assembly of the article, and in that at least one of the polymeric substrate or the layer of silicone polymer has been brought into contact with water before or after assembly of the article. Also disclosed is a method of preparing the 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 subject of the present invention is a composite wound packing material comprising a casing enclosing a material, or an assembly of materials, forming fluid flow channels, said casing being composed of a nonwoven material formed from a mixture of bicomponent superabsorbent fibers and non-absorbent thermal bonding fibers, said bicomponent superabsorbent fibers being of core/shell type, said core being made of polyacrylonitrile and the shell being made of polyacrylate.
