摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for assessing a status of a wound of a patient, comprising the steps of determining a concentration of one or more inflammatory markers selected from glucose and eotaxin-1 in a sample from the wound, wherein the sample comprises or consists of wound fluid and the one or more inflammatory markers may indicate an inflammation within the wound, ii. determining a concentration of one or more bacterial markers in the sample, wherein the one or more bacterial markers may indicate a colonization of the wound with metabolically active bacteria, iii. assessing the status of the wound based on the concentrations of the one or more inflammatory markers and the one or more bacterial markers, wherein the status of the wound is assessed as being inflamed or not inflamed and as being colonized with metabolically active bacteria or not colonized with metabolically active bacteria. This diagnostic method allows a reliable, specific and detailed assessment of the status of the wound.

摘要:
There is provided herein an incontinence diaper (2) which has rear lateral sections (22) of the incontinence diaper (2) which can be brought into overlapping arrangement with a front region (12) exterior, to which the lateral sections can then be removably adhered via respective closure means (28). The rear lateral sections (22) have an elastic region (42), and the extension (Q) of the rear lateral sections (22) comprises a proximal half (38) which adjoins the rear longitudinal edge (18) and a freely ending distal half (40) in the transverse direction (10), and wherein, the respective elastic region (42) is arranged completely within the proximal half (38) and has a distance of maximally 30 mm from the rear longitudinal edge (18) in the transverse direction (10), and each rear lateral section (22) is substantially non-stretchable in the entire distal half (40).
摘要:
The invention relates to water-containing hydrogels for dressing wounds, comprising a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer having a polyvalent alcohol, except propylene glycol.
摘要:
The invention relates to a water-containing hydrogel composition comprising elemental silver particles and to a multi-layered wound dressing comprising the hydrogel composition. The multi-layered wound dressing is used especially in the inflammation and/or granulation phases in the treatment of, for example, burns and/or chronic wounds. In addition, the invention relates to a process for preparing the hydrogel composition.
摘要:
The invention relates to an apparatus suitable for use in the negative-pressure therapy of the open abdomen, including a first bandage ply (11, 21, 31) having a first and a second side, as organ-protecting layer, the first side being intended for application to a wound base (3), more particularly exposed internal organs or the greater omentum, a second bandage ply (12, 22) provided separately from the first bandage ply and having a first and a second side, the first side of the second bandage ply (12, 22) being intended for application to the second side of the first bandage ply, a joining means by means of which the second bandage ply (12, 22), after application of the first ply (11, 21, 31) to exposed internal organs or to the greater omentum, can be joined to the first bandage ply (11, 21, 31), making it possible to avoid movement of the first bandage ply (11, 21, 31) with respect to the second bandage ply (12, 22) as far as possible during the therapy and/or facilitating simultaneous removal of first (11, 21, 31) and second bandage ply (12, 22).
摘要:
A system for applying suction to a wound is provided, including a suction source for providing suction to a conduit operatively associated with the wound to communicate suction to the wound, a vent in fluid communication with the conduit to provide a reference airflow into the conduit when the system is in operation, such that a loss of suction at the wound is indicated by deviation from the reference airflow, and a waste collector canister between the wound and the suction source for collecting liquids aspirated from the wound, wherein the canister includes one or more disks containing gelling agent.
