A two-piece bandage is useful for treating wound on a patient. The bandage includes a boundary portion including a bottom surface comprising adhesive for attaching the boundary portion to skin of a patient, an open window in the middle of the boundary portion permitting one to view a wound through the open window, and a top surface. The top surface includes a first portion of the top surface surrounding the open window including a flat surface and a second portion of the top surface including an uneven surface. The bandage further includes a plurality of replaceable wound covering portions, each replaceable wound covering portion comprising a padded section comprising a material to dress the wound.

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 to improved fluidic connectors or suction adapters for connecting to a wound site, for example using softer, kink-free conformable suction adapters.

The injection site multi-functional bandage includes a thin, flexible strip of support material with opposing upper and lower surfaces. The support material can be elongated with adhesive portions at opposing ends thereof. The adhesive portions can be covered by a removable cover. A non-adhesive absorbent can be provided between the adhesive portions on the lower surface of the support material. A reservoir including sterilization liquid can be disposed above or below the absorbent. The reservoir can be positioned along a center portion of the support material. An opening can extend through a portion of the absorbent. The opening can be selectively sealable by a releasable flap.

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.

A re-closable wound dressing is provided. A base layer is operable to be attached to a skin of a patient. The base layer forms a pre-fabricated aperture through which a wound of the patient is accessible. A cover layer is coupled with the base layer. The cover layer is operable to cover the pre-fabricated aperture, and is permanently adhered to the base layer along at least a portion of the cover layer. The base layer and the cover layer are made of like materials.

The present invention relates to a modified member for preventing bedsores, which includes a stacked body composed of: a pad layer formed from synthetic resin foam and hydrocolloid or hydrogel, a cover layer which is integrally stacked on the outer surface of the pad layer, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on the inner surface of the cover layer and having a pressure-sensitive adhesive, in which the cover layer includes an opening penetratingly formed at a central portion thereof to allow the patient's skin to be observed therethrough, thereby preventing bedsores from developing between the central part of the buttock and the anus and at bilateral femoral puncture sites of patients who have been bedridden for a long time.

A bandage for treating a wound includes a carrier plate and a peripheral support to affix to skin area surrounding a wound. The carrier plate and the peripheral support define an enclosure encompassing the wound and provide access to the wound for monitoring and treatment.

The invention relates to a wound care article (100; 200; 300; 400; 500) comprising at least one body (1; 11; 21) absorbing the liquid wound exudates, and at least one shell (2; 12; 22) at least partially encompassing the body (1; 11; 21). The shell (2; 12; 22) itself is designed to absorb fluids.
