A wound care device that can be effectively attached to a wide range of wound locations without the use of any adhesives, can apply controlled, consistent pressure to the wound, and can be configured to allow the clinician to see relevant areas of the patient's body is disclosed. The wound care device includes a contact pad connected with a securing strap. The securing strap includes an inelastic strap segment and an elastic strap segment. The elastic strap segment is coupled with an attachment segment, which attaches to the inelastic strap segment and cooperates with the elastic strap segment to compress the contact pad to the wound.

Provided are a silicone wound dressing, a method of manufacturing thereof and a method of using thereof. The silicone wound dressing has a silicone dressing base material and an amorphous carbon coating formed on the silicone dressing base material. The amorphous carbon coating is formed by subjecting the silicone dressing base material to a plasma polymerization in a plasma device under an atmosphere of a mixed gas comprising a hydrocarbon gas and an oxygen-containing gas. The silicone wound dressing has excellent oxygen permeability and is less likely to adhere to the wound. The speedy recovery of the wound is promoted by covering the wound with the silicone wound dressing.

The subject Device is an integrated therapy system in a bandage-like package optimized for specific medical conditions or diseases. The Device is designed around a layered package and delivers optimum medications and healing conditions to the skin or another membrane. The layers within the Device consist of passive or active components including medications, fluidic reservoirs and transport, dispersal pads, sensors, and electronic components, and these layers can be applied or not applied to the condition being addressed.

The present invention relates to a wound dressing composition for use as or in a wound dressing and to methods of making the wound dressing composition. The wound dressing composition comprises wicking material, and superabsorbent material that is punched into the wicking material. The action of punching the superabsorbent material into the wicking material acts to significantly increase the rate of absorption of the combination materials.

A negative pressure (i.e., vacuum or suction) wound healing device and system incorporating the device. The device of the present disclosure is smaller, lighter, portable, and overall more manageable by both the user and the medical personnel than the conventional systems. The device could be readily worn by the user.

The invention relates to a wound dressing (2) for wound treatment in a damp environment, comprising a fiber fleece-based suction/irrigation body (4) in which super absorbent material is accommodated in a distributed manner, wherein the suction/irrigation body (4) is supplied with a salt-containing aqueous solution by the manufacturer, and comprising a packaging (6) forming the outer visible sides of the wound dressing, wherein the packaging (6) comprises a layer (9) made from a flat textile material on the side of the wound dressing facing the wound, wherein the layer (9) made from a flat textile material on the side facing the wound comprises an outer-side, partially and structurally applied atraumatically effective coating (22) having a degree of coverage of at most 70%, characterised in that the packaging (6) comprises a fiber fleece layer (12) on the side of the wound dressing facing away from the wound, which forms the outer visible side (14) of the wound dressing facing away from the wound, and in that a liquid-impermeable plastic film layer (16) is arranged on the side of said fiber fleece layer (12) facing the wound, and in that the fiber fleece layer (12), the plastic film layer (16), the suction/irrigation body (4) and the layer (9) made from flat textile material are not connected extensively to one another, but rather lie with the flat sides thereof loosely and movably against one another and are only connected with one another along the peripheral edges (18) of same by means of a joint connection.

A dressing for an open wound includes a cover layer dimensioned for positioning relative to a wound bed. The cover layer permits an evacuation of the space around the wound bed such that a sub-atmospheric pressure may be established to stimulate healing and facilitate the removal of fluid from the wound. Multiple performance zones in the cover layer allow the wound dressing to remain in position through repeated cycles of evacuation without placing undue strain on the wound bed. An outer peripheral zone may include a high peal-strength adhesive while an intermediate zone may include a shear resistant adhesive. A central zone may be devoid of any coating to maximize moisture transmission through cover layer.

A negative pressure (i.e., vacuum or suction) wound healing device and system incorporating the device. The device of the present disclosure is smaller, lighter, portable, and overall more manageable by both the user and the medical personnel than the conventional systems. The device could be readily worn by the user.

A process for preparing a disinfecting wound dressing for the protection of wounds, such as burn wounds, ulcers and cuts, the process comprising the steps of providing a yarn-based substrate, subjecting a surface of the substrate to a plasma environment, thereby providing non-leaching and biocidal features to the substrate surface by exposing the substrate surface to an antimicrobial active compound reaction.

Tubular bandage, in particular a finger or toe bandage which is formed as a tube comprising an outer layer which is connected to an inner layer, and wherein the outer layer has a diameter and an elasticity such that the bandage can be clamped adhesive-free around the body part to be treated, in the particular, said finger or said toe, and wherein the inner layer is made of an elastic wound-protective material, wherein said outer layer is made of an air-permeable and water-repellent material, and wherein, at the open endings, said outer layer extends in the longitudinal direction over the inner layer over a distance of more than 0.5 mm, such that the outer layer touches the body part to be treated, in particular a finger or toe, with its endings when applied.
