This invention provides a hydrogel surgical dressing product having a designed multi-dimensional flexible hydrophilic structure-linkage composite, comprising: a hydrogel cushion layer, and a multiple of hydrophilic microsphere, wherein said multi-dimensional flexible hydrophilic structure-linkage composite comprising a hydrophilic multi-dimensional flexible structure-linkage membrane, and a multiple of structure-linkage holes positioned into said hydrophilic multi-dimensional flexible structure-linkage membrane, and the sizes of structure-linkage holes changed with the degree of compelling force, resulting in a multi-dimensional flexible structure-linkage relationship and a consolidating structure.

A medical dressing comprising a backing layer and a self-supporting substrate. The backing layers form a perimeter around the self supporting substrate and holds the self supporting substrate in place on a wound. The self supporting substrate comprises a valve. The adhesive article forms a sealed environment between the medical article and the surface surrounding the wound such that a negative pressure can be maintained in the sealed environment through the valve.

A multi-layered wound dressing including a fibrous absorbent layer for absorbing exudate from a wound site. The wound dressing also includes a support layer configured to reduce shrinkage of at least a portion of the wound dressing.

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.

Medical articles comprising a conformable wound dressing and delivery system. The wound dressing generally comprises a backing having a first major surface and a second major surface, an adhesive on the second major surface of the backing, and an absorbent pad proximate the second major surface of the backing. The backing extends beyond the perimeter of the absorbent pad, typically beyond the entire perimeter of the pad. The perimeter of the wound dressing has a concave feature that exhibits a local minimum. An axis extends from the local minimum to the perimeter of the wound dressing opposite the local minimum. The carrier overlies at least a portion of the backing on each side of the axis but does not overlie the backing along the axis. The wound dressing is especially designed for use on round or irregular shaped body parts, such as an elbow or heel.

Problem

To provide a skin closure tape or a reinforcing tape used after skin-suture.

Solution

A skin closure tape or a reinforcing tape used after skin-suture that includes a backing made of at least a nonwoven fabric and an adhesion layer disposed on a surface on one side of the backing. A plurality of resin stripes are disposed on a surface on another side or/and the surface on the one side of the backing. The plurality of the resin stripes extend in a longitudinal direction of the backing.

A medical dressing for prevention of pressure ulcers is described. The dressing has a backing layer, a pad, and a body contact layer, wherein the pad is arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer. The body contact layer has an adhesive skin contact layer and an anisotropic layer having a first (x) direction and a second (y) direction perpendicular to the first (x) direction. The anisotropic layer is stiffer in the second (y) direction than in the first (x) direction. The dressing reduces shear and compression forces on the skin and in the underlying soft tissue layers and prevents the onset of pressure ulcers.

The invention relates to a patch for administering an active substance to the skin of a subject. The present patches simplify manufacture and improve reproducibility of results, facilitate, and enhance the consistency of application of the patches to a subject, and demonstrate improved initial and long-term adhesion with reduced risk of premature detachment.

The present invention discloses an ostomy device comprising an adhesive wafer, wherein said adhesive wafer comprises means for preventing deformation and tearing when the adhesive wafer is removed from the skin. In particular, the present invention relates to adhesive wafers formed of soft adhesives.

An instant breathable cast includes an inner sleeve of an absorbent moisture wicking porous innermost layer allowing air and liquid to pass through and a shock absorbing intermediate layer having a plurality of openings therein allowing air and liquid to pass there through; and a protective outer sleeve having a plurality of openings therein allowing air and liquid to pass there through; and method of application thereof.
