A wound dressing product that includes a substrate layer having an upper surface and a lower surface; a tacky silicone coating composition present on the upper surface and on the lower surface; and upper and lower release sheets covering the substrate and the tacky silicone coating composition on the upper and lower surfaces, respectively, and adhered to the surfaces by the tacky silicone coating composition, wherein the upper surface is less tacky than the lower surface whereby the upper release sheet can be removed from the upper surface more readily than the lower release sheet can be removed from the lower surface. Also provided are methods for making such dressings.

A method and apparatus of a CBD-infused therapy tape and dispenser device for ease and mobile convenience for a person requiring the need of CBD for medical purposes. The device has a tape where the tape has a middle, an interior surface and an exterior surface. The tape is infused with cannabidiol (CBD) solution and a core where the core being in a middle of a tape roll when the tape is rolled around the core. And a method of making a CBD-infused tape roll by first unrolling the tape roll where the unrolled tape roll presents an interior surface and formulating a CBD solution. Then, using an applicator to applying the CBD solution onto the raw tape roll onto the interior surface of the unrolled tape roll.

The present invention relates inter alia to an apparatus for providing a coiled collagen carrier. An apparatus according to the invention preferably comprises a device for applying moisture to a collagen carrier prior to coiling of the collagen carrier and a coiling device. The coiling device preferably comprises rotatable gripping means for gripping the collagen carrier along an edge and coiling the collagen carrier, and a support device supporting the collagen carrier while being coiled. In another aspect, the invention relates to a production facility wherein an apparatus according to invention is arranged.

A treatment system for applying negative-pressure therapy to a wound site is disclosed. The treatment system may include a non-adherent material for applying to the perimeter of the wound site. In some embodiments, the treatment system may include a tape, a tissue interface, a sealing member, and a negative-pressure subsystem. The tape material may provide a smooth surface along the perimeter of the wound site for protecting the wound edges from stresses and for promoting epithelialization.

A method (400) of manufacturing a wound dressing includes obtaining alginate fibers (108) and the step (404) of spraying either the alginate fibers (108) or a dressing or dressing layer (610) of the alginate fibers with an aqueous solution (801) comprising a polysaccharide, which can be carboxymethylcellulose. The step of spraying can occur while the alginate fibers, dressing, or dressing layer are wet. A step (405) of flash drying can follow to remove the solute of the aqueous solution to leave the polysaccharide along the alginate. The step of spraying can be selective, such that only portions of the dressing layer include the polysaccharide.

The invention relates to a bandage comprising a flat web material as a substrate, wherein a self-adhesive cohesive adhesive compound is at least partially applied to both flat sides of the substrate, and the substrate is impregnated with a liquid preparation, characterised in that said adhesive compound comprises an anhydrous cohesive pressure sensitive adhesive which contains natural and/or synthetic rubber, this natural and/or synthetic rubber being dissolved in an organic solvent for application, or the pressure sensitive adhesive being molten for application.

Embodiments are disclosed of a method of controlling timing and/or dosage of a transdermal drug patch. For example, a control device operative to move the patch to one or more of a plurality of operational relationships with a skin of a patient, including being fully engaged with the skin, partially engaged with the skin, and disengaged with the skin. The device may include a roller that peels a patch on and off the skin. Optionally a convention patch is used. In some embodiments a patch and/or an adaptor has a mobile zone and an immobile zone. In some embodiments, an active surface of the patch fully contacts the skin in an engaged state. For example the patch may be attached to the device on a passive portion thereof.

A dressing for treating tissue with negative pressure is provided herein comprising a composite of dressing layers, including a release film, a perforated coated polymer film, a manifold, and an adhesive cover. Additionally, a method of manufacturing the dressing may comprise applying a cross-linkable polymer to a polymer film, curing the cross-linkable polymer to a gel layer to form a coated polymer film, and perforating the coated polymer film to form fluid restrictions, such as slits and/or slots, though the coated polymer film.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a transdermal patch from a drug-containing web that minimizes waste. The web is a layered composite that includes at least a backing layer and a drug-in-adhesive layer and a first strippable release liner. The web is kiss-cut along intersecting cut lines at least down to the depth of the liner, generally defining the extent of individual transdermal patches. The intersections of the cut lines define small zones that are punched out of the web in a generally star shape. The portions of the web above the liner are peeled away from the liner and transferred to a faster moving second liner so that the patches are now further spaced apart from one another. This second liner is then cut to provide transdermal patches that are mounted to release liners that are substantially broader in extent than the patches themselves.

Provided is a medical tape that has a high effect of alleviating a persistent skin irritation during an application duration caused by a residual shrink force associated with a forming shrinkage. A medical tape includes an elastic base member portion film-formed of a solution polymer and having an elastic function, a restoring force preserving portion having inelastic, flexible, and restorable functions, an adhesion portion having a function to apply and hold the elastic base member portion on a skin, and a release portion having a function to protect the adhesion portion. The restoring force preserving portion, the elastic base member portion, the adhesion portion, and the release portion are laminated in this order from an upper layer.
