Particles made of a viscoelastic medium, are injectable gel particles, and have a size, when subjected to a physiological salt solution, in the range of from 1 to 5 mm. The particles are useful in a soft tissue augmentation implant. The implant includes particles of a viscoelastic medium, wherein a major volume of the particles are injectable gel particles The implant is useful in a method of soft tissue augmentation in a mammal, including man, comprising subepidermal administration at a site in said mammal where soft tissue augmentation is desirable, of an implant.

Non-sensitizing pressure sensitive adhesives which are useful in medical applications and other uses where an adhesive is in contact with skin are obtained by energy-curing compositions containing one or more acrylate-functionalized compounds and possibly other components which are selected such that the cured adhesive passes an in vitro cytotoxicity test in accordance with ISO 10993-5 (2009).

Adhesives, particularly reversible adhesives, reversible adhesive hydrogel meshes and polymer formulations that may be used in preparation of the reversible adhesive hydrogel meshes are disclosed. The polymer formulations may comprise a reversible monomer of a reversible adhesive polymer, acrylic acid (AA), an acrylate cross-linker, a photo-initiator for free radical polymerization, and a solvent. The disclosure also relates to a wound dressing comprising the reversible adhesive hydrogel meshes. Such wound dressings are particularly suitable for treatment of damaged sensitive tissue, for example, wounds formed on a fragile skin.

The invention relates to an improved moisture monitoring system for absorbent articles, characterized by its simple design, application and use, and easy electrical interconnection. The moisture monitoring system appears as a strip being fixed onto the outer surface of an absorbent article. The invention also relates to absorbent articles comprising such moisture monitoring system, and to a method for applying such moisture monitoring system onto an absorbent article.
