A breathable thermoplastic polymer film may be produced and adapted for use as a breathable diaper backsheet. The film may include a blend of LLDPE, mLLDPE and calcium carbonate, and may have improved tear strength and melt strength such that instances of tears or break offs during the machine direction orientation portion of the production process are significantly reduced or eliminated. In addition, the film may have sufficient tear strength to permit omission of CDI processing needed to strengthen weaker prior art films. In this regard, undesired streaking of colors or printed aspects of the film may be reduced or avoided completely.

The present invention provides a hemostatic porous composite sponge comprising i) a matrix of a biomaterial; and ii) one hydrophilic polymeric component comprising reactive groups wherein i) and ii) are associated with each other so that the reactivity of the polymeric component is retained, wherein associated means that said polymeric component is coated onto a surface of said matrix of a biomaterial, or said matrix is impregnated with said polymeric material, or both.

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.
