Embodiments of apparatuses, systems, methods for monitoring wound pH are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wound dressing includes one or more optical sensors configured to measure a change in color of a pH-sensitive adhesive that changes color in response to changes in wound exudate pH. In some embodiments, the wound dressing may further comprise hydrophilic channels that direct wound exudate to a pH-sensitive material over the optical sensors. Such dressings may also be used in combination with a negative pressure wound therapy system.

A taping kit is capable of controlling a depth of a stimulation according to the purpose to structural parts from the epidermis to the dermis and fascia. The taping kit includes two or more tapes to be affixed to the body containing at least a stretchable substrate and an adhesive layer on one surface of the substrate. The taping kit includes a first tape which has a plurality of slits in a longitudinal direction, and a second tape which has a plurality of slits in a longitudinal direction and is overlapped and attached on at least a part of the first tape.

Wound dressings, methods for forming the wound dressings, and methods for using the wound dressings are described. Wound dressings include a crosslinked hydrogel matrix and a plurality of porous absorbent microspheres encapsulated in the crosslinked matrix. The hydrogel matrix and the microspheres can include the same or different hydrogel polymers, e.g., alginates or the like. The wound dressings can be used in treating chronic wounds and burn wounds and can promote autolytic debridement.

An adhesive device is capable of releasing fragrances, specifically scent patches. The adhesive device is used in the treatment of side effects associated with incontinence or an ileostomy.

The present invention belongs to the field of medical accessories, more precisely to the field of accessories for protection against outer conditions such as impacts, high or low temperature and similar conditions that can harm a human being. The invention relates to a personalized accessory for protection of a body part, which comprises a protective element, which fits to the shape of the excrescence, a scar or a wound, and an adjustable part to which the protective part is attached, glued, sewed or inserted, wherein the adjustable part can be stretched or in any other way adjusted to the particular body part, which has to be protected. The said accessory is manufactured in the following way: first the body part with the injury is scanned or measured in order to obtain a 3D model of the scanned or measured body part. Then the protective element is made using a 3D printer or thermoforming with an adjustable mould, wherein the finished protective element is then attached to the adjustable part.

Compositions and methods for wound care or the dressing or treatment of wounds in a subject in need thereof. The compositions include an oil-based carrier, a polar solvent comprising one or more polar antimicrobial agents, and collagen or a collagen-based material. In at least some instances, the polar solvent comprising the one or more polar antimicrobial agents and the collagen or collagen-based material are suspended in the oil-based carrier.

Magnesium-infused and menthol-infused kinesiology tape is disclosed. The tape comprises an absorbent fabric substrate with adhesive on one side of the substrate to be applied to a person's skin and includes magnesium salt and menthol for promoting pain relief while the tape adheres to the person's skin.

The present invention relates to: a composition for wound healing, containing a metal-organic framework (MOF)as an active ingredient; and a wound dressing material comprising a hydrophilic superabsorbent polymer and the MOF, and the composition and the wound dressing material have a wound healing ability, specifically, the excellent effect of healing a wound by promoting fibroblast movement, do not significantly differ from a control group with respect to cytotoxicity, thereby exhibiting excellent safety when applied to a wound site, and have the excellent effect of having a wound recovery rate high enough to be checked with the naked eye over time.

The present invention provides a medical dressing article and a method of manufacturing the same, which comprises: (a) a first layer comprised of polycaprocaptone fibers having a PCL fiber diameter of 0.5 μm and 2.9 μm; (b) a second layer, deposited directly on the first layer, including a mixture of polycaprolactone and poloxamer fibers (PCL and POX fibers) wherein a PCL and POX fiber diameter is between 0.1 μm and 4 μm; and (c) a third layer, deposited directly on the second layer, further comprising a mixture of gelatin and silver nitrate (AgNO.sub.3).

A wound dressing including a layer in the form of a strip and including gel-forming fibers, the strip having longitudinal lines of stitches formed from a thread and transverse lines of stitches formed from a thread. In certain forms, the wound dressing includes at least one stitch free column.
