In one example embodiment, a system for treating a tissue site is disclosed comprising a dressing adapted to contact the tissue site and provide a fluid seal between a therapeutic environment and a local external environment, and a solution source fluidly coupled to the dressing and adapted to deliver an antimicrobial solution comprising a peroxy α-keto carboxylic acid, such as peroxy pyruvic acid, to the tissue interface. The system may further comprise a negative-pressure source fluidly coupled to the dressing and adapted to provide negative pressure to the therapeutic environment after delivery of the antimicrobial fluid to the therapeutic environment. In another example embodiment, a method for treating a tissue site is disclosed comprising positioning a tissue interface to contact the tissue site, covering the tissue interface and the tissue site with a drape to provide a fluid seal between the therapeutic environment and the local external environment, and delivering an antimicrobial solution comprising peroxy α-keto carboxylic acid to the therapeutic environment before providing negative pressure to the therapeutic environment.

The present disclosure is directed to a therapeutic sleeve for a medical patient. The sleeve has an interior side and an exterior side. The sleeve can include a fastener on the interior side. A wound care component such as an absorbent pad can be fastened to the interior side of the sleeve. The wound care component can be removed and replaced when it expires. The sleeve can be fabricated from stretch fabric, allowing the sleeve to conform to a patient's arm or leg.

A bandage intended for use on digits; i.e. fingers and toes, to cover injuries to the knuckle or pad area of the first joint on the hand or foot. The bandage is configured as a pad with an angled loop, the loop used as an anchor around the base of a digit in order to resist motions that might peel the bandage off the skin. The pad may contain medicines suitable for treating a wound or injury, may be radio opaque, may contain a reinforced surface to prevent compression or skin friction at the site, or other ancillary devices. The loop is deformable in length in order to fit different digits and wound locations.

An embodiment is an article configured to inhibit or prevent pathogen growth. The article includes an inner layer configured to face a wearer's skin when the face covering article is applied to the face of the wearer; a middle layer adjacent to the inner layer; and an outer protection layer adjacent to the middle layer and opposite the inner layer and comprising a substrate and metal particles in the substrate, wherein the metal particles are configured to inhibit or prevent pathogen growth.

Disclosed embodiments relate to a wound dressing which can generate nitric oxide. The wound dressing comprises a cover layer, an acid providing layer and a nitrite providing layer. The acid providing layer comprises acidic groups and may be hydrogel or Xerogel. The nitrite providing layer comprises a nitrite salt. The wound dressing may also include other layers, one or more acquisition distribution layers or masking layers. The masking layers can at least partially prevent visualization of the layer below the masking layer. Nitrite ions of the nitrite providing layer may react with the acidic groups of the acid providing layer to generate nitric oxide. The acid providing layer further includes one or more material layers to reduce the adhesiveness of the acid providing layer. The acid providing layer can also include perforations.

A wound dressing is provided. The wound dressing includes a moisture-transmissible backing layer having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a backing layer perimeter; an absorbent hydrophilic adhesive adhered to at least a portion of the second major surface of the backing layer, the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive comprising an absorbent hydrophilic adhesive perimeter; an antimicrobial agent disposed in the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive; a porous layer having a first side adhered to the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive, a second side, and a porous layer perimeter; and a second hydrophobic adhesive adhered to the second side of the porous layer. The second major surface has a first hydrophobic adhesive disposed thereon proximate the backing layer perimeter. 100% of the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive perimeter is overlapped by the backing layer. At least 50% of the porous layer perimeter is overlapped by the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive.

A skin-friendly absorbent structure providing oxygen, comprising a absorbing layer and skin-friendly and oxygen-providing units, the skin-friendly and oxygen-providing unit being evenly dispersed in partial or entire scope of the absorbing layer wherein the skin-friendly and oxygen-providing unit comprises oxygen providing units and pH regulating units; and the pH of the skin-friendly absorbent structure is between 4 and 7 after absorbing liquids.

The present invention relates to a multilayer composite material for the treatment of wounds and lesions and to a dressing comprising said multilayer material.

A blood coagulant assembly includes a blood coagulant device adapted to be insertable into a nostril of a patient to stop a nose bleed. The blood coagulant device is mounted within a blood coagulant device container which has a top container section and a lower container section secured to each other in a releasable manner. The blood coagulant device is mounted in a fixed position within the blood coagulant device container prior to its removal from the blood coagulant container. The blood coagulant device has a rigid handle configured with a handle lower section and a handle upper section contoured with a channel passing through both the lower and upper handle sections. A blood coagulant mechanism is secured to an outer surface of the handle upper section and a to a ledge section of the handle member which extends radially at a joint location of the handle's lower and upper sections.

The present disclosure relates to a medical device for curing a liquid bandage and a method for curing a liquid bandage using same. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the medical device for curing a liquid bandage includes: an input unit into which an external signal is input; and a light source unit including a diode that emits ultraviolet rays for curing the liquid bandage according to the inputted signal.
