A material including a plurality of fatty acid chains cross-linked together and a silver fatty acid salt formed with the fatty acid chains within the material. Methods for forming a material are also included. The silver-containing materials can be utilized alone or in combination with a medical device for the release and local delivery of one or more anti-infective agents.

The present invention includes compositions and methods of making films, adhesive patches, or composites comprising a polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer (PCL-PVAc-PEG) and a partially hydrophilic oil, wherein the composition transitions from a viscous liquid, to an adhesive, and to a film as a weight percent (wt %) ratio of PCL-PVAc-PEG to partially hydrophilic oil changes.

A wetness indicator composition comprising at least one pH-indicator colorant, from about 0.001% to about 75% by weight of at least one color-stabilizer, and from 0.1% to 70% by weight of at least one hardening agent, and wherein the wetness indicator has a defined and properly selected hot to cold solidification rate, hardness and melt point.

An absorbent member (20) includes an absorbent sheet (10) in which absorbent polymer (12) is fixed to a base sheet (11) and a cover sheet (21) covering at least a first surface of the absorbent sheet (10). The absorbent sheet (10) has an absorbent polymer fixing proportion of 40% or more. The absorbent member (20) has high fixing performance of the absorbent polymer (12) to the base sheet (11) and is less likely to suffer from detachment of the absorbent polymer (12) even after liquid absorption. The absorbent polymer (12) is preferably fixed to the base sheet (11) with a base sheet fixing adhesive (13) interposed therebetween. The adhesive (13) is preferably an acrylic, silicone-based or rubber-based adhesive, and is preferably a hot-melt adhesive.
