A supply management system for first aid supplies employs an organizing board. The organizing board has a multiplicity of forward axially projecting pegs which are configured in a generally rectangular grid. A plurality of first aid items are each contained in a box-like container having a rear mounting panel. The mounting panel has a matrix of structures defining apertures corresponding in spacing to selected portions of the grid of pegs. Each first aid container is mountable to the board in a stable position whereby selected pegs are received in apertures of the mounting panel and the panel is disposed forwardly from the board. The structures are deformable and have a generally circular central portion with a plurality of radial perforations which form tabs. The organizing board is preferably placed against the rear of a first aid cabinet. The organizing board and the matrix of apertures ensure compatibility of first aid replacement products.

A medical dressing including: a flexible base layer including a front surface configured to face a skin of a patient and a back surface opposite the front surface, wherein the flexible base layer includes a first opening; an adhesive layer on the front surface of the base layer; a flexible cover layer entirely covering the opening of the base layer; a flexible intermediate layer sandwiched between the base layer and the cover layer, wherein the base layer, cover layer and intermediate layer joined together along an annular pattern extending entirely around the first and second openings, wherein the annular pattern joints the base layer to the intermediate layer entirely around the first and second openings, and the annular pattern joins the layers around the first and second openings except at slots extending beyond an outer edge of the cover layer and ending before an outer edge of the intermediate layer.

Certain embodiments described herein are directed to hygiene articles that comprise a coefficient of friction of greater than 0.95 as tested by ASTM D 1894. In some embodiments, the article comprises an absorbent core material disposed on a backing layer that is effective to provide a coefficient of friction of greater than 0.95 as tested by ASTM D 1894.

The invention relates to a bandage set suitable for use in the treatment of wound cavities, especially for use in the treatment of wound cavities by means of negative pressure, comprising i) a first bandage material as wound contact layer, comprising a flexible, perforated film (11, 21, 31) having a first and a second side, the perforations (15) present in the film being provided in such a way that the perforation edges (16) protrude from the second side of the film (11, 21, 31), with three-dimensional structures being present on the second side of the film (11, 21, 31), and the first side being intended for contacting with a wound base (3), more particularly the internal surface of a wound tube, ii) a separately provided second bandage material for introduction into a wound cavity, comprising a porous polymer foam (12, 22, 32), the polymer foam (12, 22, 32) being an open-cell polymer foam which comprises struts (14) on or close to its surface and/or which comprises, on its surface, hollow spaces (13) open toward the surface, and the struts (14) and/or hollow spaces (13) forming three-dimensional structures, characterized in that the first bandage material has a surface area sufficient to envelop at least 75% of the surface of the second bandage material, and the structures present on the second side of the first bandage material can form an adhesive connection with the structures present on the surface of the second bandage material, the second side of the film (11, 21, 31) being intended for partial or complete envelopment of the surface of the polymer foam (12, 22, 32) immediately before the wound treatment, and so, after introduction of the composite composed of first and second bandage material into a wound cavity, movement of the first bandage material with respect to the second bandage material can be avoided as far as possible during the therapy and/or simultaneous removal of the first bandage material and the second bandage material is facilitated owing to the adhesive connection between the first bandage material and the second bandage material.

A medical device includes a polymer scaffold crimped to a catheter having an expansion balloon. The scaffold, after being deployed by the balloon, provides a crush recovery of about 90% after the diameter of the scaffold has been pinched or crushed by 50%. The scaffold also has a reduced crimped profile and a modification of the scaffold's ring structure at the crowns that contributes to the reduced crimped profile.

A medication kit for treating a health condition of a patient is provided. The medication kit includes a plurality of medicinal agents for treating a plurality of symptoms associated with the health condition. Each of the plurality of medicinal agents is adapted to treat one or more symptoms out of the plurality of symptoms. The medication kit further includes a plurality of containers for storing the plurality of medicinal agents. Each container stores one of the plurality of the medicinal agents.
