The wound dressing described herein includes a backing layer, absorbent layer, and foam layer. The wound dressing also includes one or more visual indicators. The visual indicators are substantially non-visible in their initial, dehydrated state. As the visual indicators absorb fluid they swell and become visible. The visual indicators enable a caregiver to know when the wound dressing has reached, or is about to reach, its fluid capacity.

The present invention is directed to a wound dressing, surgical tape or plaster comprising an absorbent pad and an adhesive part in which the adhesive part is an adhesive dissolvable paper. Another aspect of the invention is directed to a bandage of elongate form in which sections of the bandage can be of a woven or non-woven fabric, comprising multiple sections, wherein the sections are held together via water-soluble fiber material.

A natural peptide comprising a cellular growth promoting fragment of a protein selected from SEQ ID NO's: 1 to 13, and a composition comprising a plurality of growth promoting peptides, is described. Also disclosed is the use of the peptides and compositions in prevention of ageing of human skin, treatment of diseases or conditions characterised by damaged epithelial cells or tissue such as colon cancer and peripheral inflammatory disorders, and wound treatment. Specific pea and rice protein derived peptides are described in SEQ ID NO's: 15 to 505, and 546 to 704.

The present disclosure provides a skin tension-reducing scar-preventing plaster, including a film stuck to the skin, where the film is divided into a left part, a silicone part and a right part, lower surfaces of the left part and the right part are both provided with adhesion gels, a lower surface of the silicone part is provided with a silicone gel, an area between the left part and the silicone part is a blank area, and an area between the right part and the silicone part is also a blank area; and a plurality of fixing blocks are mounted on the surface of the left part, a plurality of fixture blocks corresponding to the fixing blocks are mounted on the surface of the right part, traction strips are connected between the fixing blocks and the fixture blocks, and one end of the traction strips are connected with the fixing blocks.

A perianal support device includes a central support element with an apex having a continuous contact surface along the apex to interface with a patient's perianal tissue. Compression elements extend laterally away from each apex side of the central support element. Each compression element may have a narrower proximal end to the central support element and a wider distal end, and be flexible to bend to the gluteal cleft anatomy. The surface of each compression element that faces the patient in use may be covered, at least partially, with a loop material on the wider distal end. Each compression element may also have the opposite surface covered, at least partially, with foam. The central support element and compression elements may be integrally formed. A gripping tab is also provided at a distal end of each compression element, providing an easy location for medical staff to grasp for placement and removal.

The present invention is directed to a wound dressing, surgical tape or plaster, optionally comprising an absorbent pad, and an adhesive part in which the adhesive part is an adhesive dissolvable paper or polymer.
