The present disclosure relates to a film for oral hemostasis and wound protection and, more particularly, to a film for oral hemostasis and wound protection which, being attached to a wound area in an oral cavity, delays or prevents microbleeds and controls medicinal component release. The film provided by the present disclosure is capable of including a polyol, an alcohol and a biodegradable polymer in the state of partial swelling, thereby locally absorbing blood or pus or arresting hemorrhage. Moreover, due to its high elongation ratio, the film provided by the present disclosure is capable of maintaining its adhesive force even when having blood, saliva and pus absorbed inside an oral cavity and conveniently deforming according to the shape of a seriously corrugated local area, which causes only slight foreign body sensation even after a long period of time of attachment on to the local area. In addition, the film provided by the present disclosure includes a disintegrant which is dissolved and released by reacting with blood to form microchannels that act as paths for drug release and is capable of adjusting the amount and the size of the microchannels, thereby controlling the amount of drug release. The present disclosure doesn't require a patient to detach the film attached inside an oral cavity by hand because the adhesive layer and the backing layer dissolve entirely over time.

In some illustrative examples, a medical drape suitable for treating a tissue site may include an adherent surface including first adherent force profile oriented along a first axis and a second adherent force profile oriented along a second axis. The first adherent force profile may have an average force less than an average force of the second adherent force profile. Other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also provided.

The invention relates to a carrier system for an object worn on the body, comprising a flexible carrier plaster, which has a flat carrier layer and an adhesive layer, applied to the lower face of said carrier layer, which adhesive layer adheres to the skin of a body part when pressed thereon, the adhesive layer consisting of a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and further comprising, on the upper face of the carrier layer facing away from the skin, a rigid mounting platform. According to this disclosure, a joining region of the mounting platform is permanently joined to the upper face of the carrier layer via a structural adhesive connection that consists of a structural adhesive.

The present invention is directed to a wound dressing, surgical tape or plaster comprising an absorbent pad and an adhesive part in which the adhesive part is an adhesive dissolvable paper. Another aspect of the invention is directed to a bandage of elongate form in which sections of the bandage can be of a woven or non-woven fabric, comprising multiple sections, wherein the sections are held together via water-soluble fiber material.

An adhesive article that remains securely bonded to a substrate until a stimulus is applied. The article may be embodied as an adhesive tape, a bandage, or as other articles. The stimulus 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.

In exemplary embodiments, an on-body medical device has an adhesive layer with adhesives of two or more strengths. In some of the exemplary embodiments, a stronger adhesive is positioned on the adhesive layer where additional strength is needed, such as around the perimeter of the adhesive layer to prevent premature peeling. A weaker adhesive is positioned on other portions of the adhesive layer where there is no need for the strength of the stronger adhesive. In other exemplary embodiments, three strengths of adhesives are used on the adhesive layer. An intermediate strength adhesive is used along with a stronger adhesive and a weaker adhesive. The intermediate strength adhesive may be used in areas where the weaker adhesive does not provide enough strength but the full strength of the stronger adhesive is not needed.

Systems, kits, methods of manufacturing, and a sealing member for creating a sealed space are described. The sealing member can include a film layer and a first adhesive layer coupled to the film layer. The sealing member can also include a second adhesive layer coupled to the first adhesive layer. A plurality of apertures may extend through the second adhesive layer. Each aperture can expose at least a portion of the first adhesive layer through the second adhesive layer. A plurality of polymer particles may be disposed in the first adhesive layer. The polymer particles can be configured to dissolve in response to interaction with a switching solution.

A method for producing a patch comprising a support layer and an adhesive agent layer comprises: a mixture preparation step of mixing asenapine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with sodium acetate whose particle diameter D.sub.50 at a cumulative volume of 50% in a particle diameter distribution is 40 to 1000 m, in such a manner that the sodium acetate and sodium diacetate generated from the sodium acetate have a particle diameter D.sub.50 of 10 m or smaller, thereby obtaining a mixture containing the sodium diacetate and the asenapine or pharmaceutically acceptable salt; and an adhesive-agent-layer formation step of forming the adhesive agent layer comprising the sodium diacetate, the asenapine or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive base agent, by using an adhesive agent layer composition obtained by mixing the mixture with the pressure-sensitive adhesive base agent.

A dressing for guarding against the development of pressure ulcers has a recipient side and an environmental side. The dressing comprises a moisture barrier layer whose components include a sacral member, a left gluteal member and a right gluteal member. Each gluteal member has a base and an extension which extends longitudinally inferiorly further than the inferior edge of the sacral member by a dimension which is approximately no less than the longitudinal length of the sacral member. The dressing also includes a connective element on the recipient side of the dressing. The connective element is arranged to provide a zone of occlusion. In some embodiments the dressing includes electrodes and is a component of a dressing assembly which includes an exciter for stimulating gluteal muscles.

A bandage including a padding material, a hydrogel material; and a substrate is taught. The padding material of the bandage is co-disposed by the hydrogel material and both the padding material and the hydrogel material are carried by the substrate. The bandage is created by providing a substrate having a first and second planar surface. Then, a hydrogel material is placed onto the second planar surface of the substrate. Finally, a padding material is placed onto the second planar surface of the substrate so that the padding material is co-disposed by the hydrogel material.
