A hemostatic surface application device having a region of hemostatic foam for contact with a patient's skin where a wound exists or is created, the device includes: a release layer, the release layer in contact with a hemostatic flexible foam section, and a structural foam layer having a front side and a back side surrounding the hemostatic flexible foam layer, forming a generally central hemostatic surface exposed through the front side of the surrounding structural foam layer, and a support layer adhered to the backside of the structural foam layer.

An adhesive tape (1) comprises a base material layer, an adhesive layer, and a release material layer, wherein two edges (11 and 12) extending in the longitudinal direction of the adhesive tape include parallel portions (11a and 12a), the length of one of the two edges (11 and 12) is greater than the length of the other, the ends of the two edges (11 and 12) are connected to the ends of two other edges (13 and 14), and two angles formed between the longer edge of the two edges (11 and 12) extending in the longitudinal direction and the two other edges (13 and 14) are acute angles.

The present invention relates to wound dressings which are particularly useful (but not necessarily exclusively) on moderate to heavily exuding wounds comprising: an absorbent pad having a first major face comprised of absorbent material and configured for wound contact, and a second major face opposed to the first major face; and a backing layer bonded to the second major face of the pad; wherein the pad and the backing layer are sized such that the backing layer extends beyond the periphery of the pad, thereby defining a margin; wherein the margin of the backing layer is provided with a first adhesive for adhering the backing layer to skin; and wherein a layer of second, low trauma adhesive is provided on, and in direct contact with, the first major face of the pad for adhering the pad to a wound, said layer of second, low trauma adhesive being configured to allow passage of exudate from the wound to the absorbent pad.

The present invention relates to dressings such as bandages improved extensibility. The present invention further relates to dressings comprising an absorbent body and backing layer having improved extensibility.

A cover for sealing a tissue site may include a shell having a first side, a second side, and an edge between the first side and the second side; an adhesive disposed on the first side; and a release liner adjacent to the adhesive. The release liner may comprise a flap folded over at least a portion of the edge of the shell. The flap may be configured to prevent the adhesive from migrating past the portion of the edge of the shell. In some examples, the shell, the adhesive, and the release liner can be folded, and the flap can be at least partially disposed between a first portion and a second portion of the second side of the shell. The cover may additionally comprise a sealing layer with apertures disposed between the adhesive and the release liner in some embodiments.

[Problem]

To provide a body surface patch that has a simple configuration and high handling ability during being applied, and high flexibility and elasticity that enable fitness to the profile and expansion of a body face after being applied, and can reduce the adhesive flow.

[Solution]

A body surface patch is provided that includes: a substrate having a top face and a bottom face; an adhesive layer covering at least part of the bottom face of the substrate; and a releasable adhesive protecting film covering the adhesive layer. The substrate has a thickness of 20 to 90 μm and the adhesive layer has a thickness of 40 to 160 μm. The adhesive layer at least contains a radiation curable resin and a hydrophilic polymer compound.

One example embodiment includes a pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape includes a fabric. The fabric includes a weave of fibers, where the fibers include an elastic fiber covered by a covering material. The fabric also includes a first end and a second end, where the second end is opposite the first end. The fabric further includes one or more rounded corners. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape also includes a longitudinal cut in the fabric. The longitudinal cut passes through at least a portion of the fabric and extends from the first end to a predetermined distance from the second end. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape also includes adhesive on a first surface of the fabric, where the adhesive is configured to adhere the fabric to a human body.

An attachment device used to attach appliances to tissue can incorporate microstructures. A medical device system can comprise a coupling device comprising a base layer, a coupling attached to an air side of the base layer, a microstructure attached to a skin side of the base layer and a patient interaction feature, and an appliance comprising a structure mounted to the coupling to interface with the patient interaction feature. An appliance device comprises a base layer, an appliance structure attached to an air side of the base layer, and a microstructure attached to a skin side of the base layer. An appliance attachment system comprises an appliance, a first component comprising an adhesive backing containing microstructures that are configured to attach to skin, and a second component configured to attach the appliance to the first component.

Transdermal therapeutic systems are described which have at least one electronic component, as well as methods for producing this type of transdermal therapeutic systems.

An adhesive article that remains securely bonded to a substrate until a stimuli is applied. The article may be embodied as an adhesive tape, a bandage, or as other articles. The stimuli may be a change in temperature or application of a reduction that causes a structure within the article to break, creak, or otherwise disrupt to expose the adhesive to a solvent, such as via a difference in Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) or by exposing the article to a glass transition temperature.
