Disclosed herein are several embodiments of a negative pressure appliance and methods of using the same in the treatment of wounds. Some embodiments are directed towards wound dressings comprising a liquid and gas permeable transmission layer, an absorbent layer for absorbing wound exudate, the absorbent layer overlying the transmission layer, a gas impermeable cover layer overlying the absorbent layer and comprising a first orifice, wherein the cover layer is moisture vapor permeable. Some embodiments are directed to improved fluidic connectors or suction adapters for connecting to a wound site, for example using softer, kink-free conformable suction adapters.

Provided are a fibrous sheet having a stress relaxation rate defined by the following formula of less than or equal to 85%:

stress relaxation rate [%]=(stress S.sub.5 at extension after five minutes/stress S.sub.0 at initial extension)?100

when a stress at extension immediately after extension in an in-plane first direction at 50% elongation is defined as a stress S.sub.0 (N/50 mm) at initial extension, and a stress at extension at a time of extending in the first direction at 50% elongation for five minutes is defined as a stress S.sub.5 (N/50 mm) at extension after five minutes, and a bandage including the fibrous sheet.

The present disclosure relates generally to tubular wound dressings that include a superabsorbent component that can be used to treat exuding wounds. The tubular wound dressings may include a superabsorbent component sandwiched between two tubular elastic and resilient components. Alternatively, the dressing may be concentrically arranged to include at least three components, including a superabsorbent component, and two elastic and resilient components. Also disclosed herein are kits including the tubular wound dressings of the present technology, and instructions for use.

A wound closure device and a method of its use are disclosed. The wound closure device comprises a wound closure strip, the wound closure strip comprising a wound-facing side and a top side, the wound-facing side comprises an adhesive applied over at least a portion of the wound facing side of the wound closure strip and a non-symmetric, two-part release liner assembly detachably adhered to the adhesive, the release liner assembly comprising a first section and a second section with the second section comprising a wound closure strip-free portion forming a tab. In an alternate embodiment, the device is multi-segmented and the wound closure strip may be coextensive with the release liner assembly.

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 compression bandage formed by the assembling of a nonwoven based on short conjugate fibers which have been crimped and of a nonelastic material. The compression bandage can be used in a bilayer compression system, in particular for the prevention or treatment of venous pathologies.
