Devices for delivering a flowable tissue dressing material for treating a tissue site are described. The devices include a first zone including a first reactant, such as a polyol, and a second zone including a second reactant, such as a multi-isocyanate, which can be mixed together to form a flowable tissue dressing material. The device can also include a flowable tissue dressing material including a reacted polymer present in a carrier. Kits and methods including and/or using the devices are also described.

A thermoplastic cast according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a structure having a mesh form and a thermoplastic property, an outer cover provided on an outer surface of the structure, a buffer pad provided on an outer surface of the outer cover and having elasticity, and a finishing material provided on an outer surface of the buffer pad and configured to come into contact with a user's body. Melting points of the outer cover, the buffer pad, and the finishing material are higher than that of the structure. The finishing material has a porosity different from that of the buffer pad.

A compression garment having one or more flex frames that can be shortened or lengthened to apply or release a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of a user. The compression garment can have a wire made of shape memory material (shape memory alloy). A controller of the compression garment can supply an electrical input to the wire, generating heat that can cause the wire to contract such that the flex frame deflects to a shorter length to apply a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of the user. The one or more flex frames can be contracted in unison or in sequence to direct the flow of bodily fluids in the limb or other anatomical feature of the user.

A polyester composition includes a first polyester selected from one or more of aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters, which is a copolymer comprising repeating units A as shown in formula (I) and repeating units B as shown in formula (II), in which m is an integer of 2 to 10 and n is an integer of 2 to 8; p is an integer of 2 to 10; and m, n and p are the same or different from each other. Optionally, the polyester composition has a second polyester. The polyester composition includes at least two polyesters. The polyester composition can be used in shape memory materials, 3D print wires, heat shrinkable sleeves, functional layers, medical limb immobilization braces, heat shrinkable thin films, nonwoven fabrics, elastic fibers, etc. ##STR00001##
