A medical tissue wrap, for an internal anatomical structure of a mammal is formed by a coiled wall having a circumferential inner end portion and a circumferential outer end portion extending around and overlapping the circumferential inner end portion. The wall thereby defines a longitudinal through-hole for accommodating a portion of the anatomical structure. The circumferential outer end portion is radially spaced-apart from the circumferential inner end portion by a discontinuous spacing in the circumferential direction. The tissue wrap comprises a structural outer surface modification at opposing longitudinal end portions of its wall.

A medical wetness sensing device includes a base adapted to be disposed on a wearer of the medical wetness sensing device. The base includes a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor electrically insulated from the first electrical conductor. The first electrical conductor includes a hinge portion enabling a first portion of the first electrical conductor to deflect, at the hinge portion, relative to a second portion of the first electrical conductor. The medical wetness sensing device includes a controller electrically connected to the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor. The controller is configured to detect a presence or an absence of a medical fluid electrically connecting the first and second electrical conductors.

A wound/bandage protector configured as a wrap, a sock/mitten, or a bandage may be made out of stretchable material. The wrap may have one or more fastening straps as well as possibly a first catch fastening surface. The sock/mitten may have a fastening strap and a sheath. The wrap, the sock/mitten, and the bandages may have apertures and aperture covers. In addition, the wound/bandage protectors as well as the bandages may have diamond or triangular gauze configurations with the gauze pad having three or four primary corners, the primary corners of the gauze pad in most instances being oriented towards edges of the body portion or length or width tangents of the body portion, preferably mid-points or mid-sections of the length or width tangents or body portion edges.

An article. The article includes a nonwoven having a pH value from 2 to 6; wherein the article is a wound dressing.

The present invention is directed to a hemostatic textile, comprising: a material comprising a combination of glass fibers and one or more secondary fibers selected from the group consisting of silk fibers; ceramic fibers; raw or regenerated bamboo fibers; cotton fibers; rayon fibers; linen fibers; ramie fibers; jute fibers; sisal fibers; flax fibers; soybean fibers; corn fibers; hemp fibers; lyocel fibers; wool; lactide and/or glycolide polymers; lactide/glycolide copolymers; silicate fibers; polyimide fibers; feldspar fibers; zeolite fibers, zeolite-containing fibers, acetate fibers; and combinations thereof; the hemostatic textile capable of activating hemostatic systems in the body when applied to a wound. Additional cofactors such as thrombin and hemostatic agents such as RL platelets, RL blood cells; fibrin, fibrinogen, and combinations thereof may also be incorporated into the textile. The invention is also directed to methods of producing the textile, and methods of using the textile to stop bleeding.

An example debriding pad includes a support layer, a first region, and a second region. The first region includes a first material defining a plurality of first loop piles arranged on the support material. The second region includes a second material defining a plurality of second loop piles arranged on the support material. The second material is stiffer than the first material to provide more aggressive debridement of a wound.

A pressurized tourniquet includes an elastic band, a hemostatic dressing, and a pressurized member. A through tough is formed at the outer surface of the elastic band and has an extending direction vertical to the longitudinal direction of the elastic band and parallel to the width direction of the elastic band. The hemostatic dressing is disposed to the inner surface of the elastic band. The pressurized member has a base portion, an insertion portion connected with the base portion and detachably inserted in the through tough and having one end forming an anchor portion protruding from and interfered with the through tough, and a pressurized portion connected with the base portion and parallel to the insertion portion to form a slot therebetween for passage of the elastic band. Thus, the pressurized tourniquet of the present invention has advantages of convenient manufacturing and easy replacement of accessories.

The present invention relates to a biocompatible, foldable, thin profile, low mass and high surface area, chitosan dressing, optionally modified with catechol, and suitable for treating bleeding in a physiological environment, e.g., gastrointestinal tract, bladder (in particular in connection with the TURP procedure). The characteristics and structures of the chitosan dressing are provided. Methods of making and using the chitosan dressing are also provided.
