The invention relates to a unit for hemostasis. The unit is configured to be directly applied to a bleeding wound and comprises an envelope enclosing an inner space as well as an effective amount of a hemostatic material disposed within the inner space. Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement of two or more such units for hemostasis, the units being coupled to each other. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for producing an arrangement of units for hemostasis. In accordance with the method, an effective amount of a hemostatic material is disposed within an interior region of a starting material, and neck regions are formed on both sides of the charge so as to form an envelope enclosing the charge.

Disclosed herein is a combination wound and injury treatment apparatus including a tubular body having a first opening, a second opening, a relatively inflexible outer wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, a relatively flexible inner wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, an upper end member having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a lower end member having an inner surface and an outer surface, the first opening, the inner surface of the relatively flexible inner wall and the second opening define a passage through the tubular body for receiving a body part. Structure is formed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the inner wall, the structure being capable of receiving a temperature retaining fluid, and a pressurized chamber, operatively formed between the inner surface of the outer wall and the outer surface of the inner wall.

A phimosiectomy shield can be firmly fixed to a human body to be able to stably protect an operated part after phimosiectomy, reduces pain in the operated part by stably preventing pressure and friction on the operated part, and helps an operated part to quickly recover by stably preventing bacterial infection due to contact. The phimosiectomy shield includes a protective part surrounding a penis to protect an operated part due to phimosiectomy and an attachment part extending from the protective part to be attached to a human body, in which a hole for inserting a penis is formed at the center of a lower portion of the attachment part.

A water-resistant orthopedic undercast sleeve that includes a tubular sheet material formed of extruded filaments having water-resistant properties and a thickness sufficient to provide both cushioning and moisture transport in a single layer between a cast and a limb onto which the sleeve is applied. The water resistant properties are achieved by at least one process, including a water-resistant filler, finish or coating applied to the filaments during extrusion, applying a water resistant finish to the finish during extrusion, applying a water resistant finish to the filaments during a subsequent spinning process, or coating the filaments with a water-resistant finish in a separate process. Moisture egress channels are formed in the sheet material for transporting moisture away from the limb, longitudinally along the length of the sleeve, and out of the space between the sleeve and cast.

A wound dressing having a chromic material responsive to at least one stimuli. In one or more embodiments, a plurality of individual liquid expandable articles introduce the chromatic material to the wound. The individual liquid-expandable articles release stored mechanical energy and mechanically expand into expanded articles upon contact with a liquid associated with the wound. In response to the chromic material receiving the at least one stimuli the chromic material provides a color change evidencing how long the expanded articles have been in contact with the wound and where the expanded articles are within the wound. In one or more embodiments, determinations may be made about removing the expanded articles from the wound based on the color of the chromic material.

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.

An oxygen distributor (1) positionable, in use, in a wound for supplying oxygen to the wound has an oxygen delivery area (17) for, in use, receiving a supply of oxygen. At least one tube (19A) extends from the oxygen delivery area, having a tube wall with an oxygen-permeable, liquid-impermeable section. Oxygen delivered to the oxygen delivery area can flow away from the oxygen delivery area along the, or each, tube.

The current invention is bandage that provides increased security of medical gauze and antibiotic ointment for wounds on fingers. The gauze is on the interior of the bandage, and is used to cover a finger wound. Antibiotic ointment is on the gauze to promote a healthy healing process. The exterior is a rubber tube, which comes in a variety of sizes to allow a secure fit. The tube is composed of a hypoallergenic rubber.

Systems and methods can promote wound healing, including a wound dressing having a wound-facing surface and a second surface. The wound-facing surface can be configured to contact a wound of a patient. There can also be at least one conduit having an interior lumen operably connectable to the second surface of the wound dressing, a central window configured to allow air flow from the interior lumen of the conduit to the wound-facing surface of the wound dressing, and a flexible wrap operably connectable to the conduit.

An inverting digit bandage system enables covering a digit, such as a finger or toe, with an inverting digit bandage by pulling deployment strips. An inverting digit bandage has a sleeve portion that is rolled up into a toroid portion along with the deployment strip, A deployment tab extends from the deployment toroid and pulling down on the deployment tab unfurls the inverting digit bandage over a digit. An attachment tab may be configured on the extended end of the sleeve and have an adhesive to secure the bandage over the digit. The deployment strip may be attached to a release layer configured over the adhesive on the attachment tab and may remove the release layer when pulled from the inverting digit bandage.
