A medical dressing comprising a backing layer and a self-supporting substrate. The backing layers form a perimeter around the self supporting substrate and hold the self supporting substrate in place on a wound.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed relating to the creation and use of bespoke wound fillers and other wound treatment apparatuses. Some embodiments provide for the creation of bespoke wound fillers based on characteristics of a wound. Certain embodiments also include the use of bespoke wound fillers in combination with negative pressure to treat a wound.

Disclosed herein is a combination wound and injury treatment apparatus including a tubular body having a first opening, a second opening, a relatively inflexible outer wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, a relatively flexible inner wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, an upper end member having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a lower end member having an inner surface and an outer surface, the first opening, the inner surface of the relatively flexible inner wall and the second opening define a passage through the tubular body for receiving a body part. Structure is formed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the inner wall, the structure being capable of receiving a temperature retaining fluid, and a pressurized chamber, operatively formed between the inner surface of the outer wall and the outer surface of the inner wall.

An external fixation device for fractured forearms and/or hands. The device includes an arm-shaped main body and a cavity. The main body includes: a forepart which corresponds to a hand of a patient, and a rear part which corresponds to a segment extending from the hand to an elbow joint of the patient. The main body includes a first edge and a second edge. The first edge of the main body is provided with a flexible cotton member, and a placket is connected to the outer side of the flexible cotton member. The second edge of the main body is provided with a plurality of elastic belts. The rear part of the main body includes an opening which is located at a position corresponding to the elbow joint of the patient and communicates with the filler cavity.

A fixation device for pelvis includes a front fixation plate and a back fixation plate. The front fixation plate and the rear fixation plate are detachably connected to form a receiving space for receiving the waist, the abdomen, the hip and the thighs. The front fixation plate includes a first left-side piece and a first right-side piece. The rear fixation plate includes a second left-side piece and a second right-side piece. The first left-side piece, the first right-side piece, the second left-side piece and the second right-side piece are respectively provided with a cavity for accommodating a polyurethane slurry. When in use, the cavities are respectively injected with the polyurethane slurry, and after the polyurethane slurry solidifies, the shape of the fixation device is matched to the waist, the abdomen, the hip and the thighs to support the patient's hip and pelvis.

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for shaping an external nasal cast. A nasal cast bender may comprise a base; and a protrusion protruding upwards from the base portion, wherein the protrusion comprises a handle and a bending surface comprising a convex profile; wherein the bending surface is configured to shape an external nasal cast.

The present disclosure relates to apparatus for covering a burn or other wound in ways that prevent or limit touching the wound. The present disclosure describes Burn Bandages that may include domes or structures that bridge over a wide range of a burn or wound size. In certain instances these structures may expand in one or more directions as they are adjusted to fit to a particular burn or wound size. Such bridging structures may include airways, openings, or voids that promote air/oxygen flow to the wound as the Burn Bandage sits upon surfaces or pads that contact healthy surrounding tissue while they cover a wound site. The apparatus may be any shape including, yet not limited to, a circle, a rectangle, a square, a hexagon, an octagon, an oval, a cone, a cylinder, have a semi-cylindrical shape, or that have any another geometric shape.

An external fixation device for body includes a front part and a back part and can be shaped according to the shape of human body. The front part includes a cavity, two layers of knitting cloth, and elastic belts. The back part includes a cavity, two layers of knitting cloth, and plackets. The lower end edge of the front part and the lower end edge of the back part are respectively provided with a filling port and the filling ports are both sewed with a hook and loop. An outer side of one of the elastic belts of the front part and an inner side of one of the plackets of the back part are respectively provided with a piece of a first fastener. An armhole width part of the front part and an armhole width part of the back part are respectively provided with a piece of a second fastener.

An adhesive dressing that reduces the leakage of wound exudate from the dressing, comprising an adhesive-coated backing sheet; and an absorbent island adhered to said adhesive-coated backing sheet by said adhesive, having a first end and a second end, wherein the absorption capacity of the absorbent island is higher at the first end than at the second end. The adhesive dressing of the invention provides extended wear time for the dressing when it is applied to wounds.
