A cannulated tube protector comprising a main body, a first pair of securing members extending from the main body, a second pair of securing members extending from the main body, and a splinting member comprising a viewing door. The viewing door is structured to open thereby exposing a viewing aperture, defined as a doorway. The doorway extends from a first surface of the main body to an opposing second surface of the main body.

A wound treatment apparatus is provided for treating tissue damage, which comprises a fluid impermeable wound cover sealed over a site for purposes of applying a reduced pressure to the site. The apparatus also can include a cover with protrusions on its surface for purposes of monitoring pressure at the site. One or more sensors can be positioned under the cover to provide feedback to a suction pump controller. The apparatus can have a miniature and portable vacuum source connected to the wound cover.

A phimosiectomy shield can be firmly fixed to a human body to be able to stably protect an operated part after phimosiectomy, reduces pain in the operated part by stably preventing pressure and friction on the operated part, and helps an operated part to quickly recover by stably preventing bacterial infection due to contact. The phimosiectomy shield includes a protective part surrounding a penis to protect an operated part due to phimosiectomy and an attachment part extending from the protective part to be attached to a human body, in which a hole for inserting a penis is formed at the center of a lower portion of the attachment part.

A system for providing reduced-pressure treatment to a moveable tissue site, such as a joint, includes a flexible dressing bolster. The flexible dressing bolster has a first side and a second, inward-facing side, and a plurality of flexion joints formed on the flexible dressing bolster. The system further includes a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the flexible dressing bolster and the patient's epidermis and a reduced-pressure subsystem for delivering a reduced pressure to the sealing subsystem. The sealing subsystem and reduced-pressure subsystem are operable to deliver a reduced pressure to the moveable tissue site. The flexible dressing bolster is operable to allow articulation or movement of the moveable tissue site. The sealing subsystem may include a drape with folds. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented.

A water-resistant orthopedic undercast sleeve that includes a tubular sheet material formed of extruded filaments having water-resistant properties and a thickness sufficient to provide both cushioning and moisture transport in a single layer between a cast and a limb onto which the sleeve is applied. The water resistant properties are achieved by at least one process, including a water-resistant filler, finish or coating applied to the filaments during extrusion, applying a water resistant finish to the finish during extrusion, applying a water resistant finish to the filaments during a subsequent spinning process, or coating the filaments with a water-resistant finish in a separate process. Moisture egress channels are formed in the sheet material for transporting moisture away from the limb, longitudinally along the length of the sleeve, and out of the space between the sleeve and cast.

An anisotropic wound drape for treating a wound on a patient includes a flexible sheet for placing over a tissue site. The flexible sheet includes a first isotropic zone, and a second isotropic zone. The first isotropic zone and the second isotropic zone are configured to provide the flexible sheet with anisotropic stretching properties. The anisotropic drape may used as part of a reduced-pressure wound treatment system. Other systems and methods are also presented.

A nonpermeable enclosure formed from a clear, waterproof fabric, has a cover ridge for insertion into a channel so as to produce a barrier against moisture and contaminants, and is attached to a closure band for securing the nonpermeable enclosure over a wearer's hand.

The invention relates to a flexible application aid for the treatment of wounds. The application aid can be used in particular for the debridement and/or cleansing of wounds, including the skin surrounding the wound. The application aid according to the invention including a flexible or elastically deformable application wand, facilitates debridement of superficial to deep wounds without the risk of injury to the wound.

A protective umbilical cord cover having a containment portion being adapted to protect an umbilical cord of an infant and also an attachment mechanism being adapted to releasably attach the containment portion against the infant. The protective umbilical cord cover may also include an umbilical cord cover material that is constructed to form the containment portion, wherein the umbilical cord cover material is liquid impermeable in an inward-flow direction. The protective umbilical cord cover may also include an umbilical cord cover material that is constructed to form the containment portion, wherein the umbilical cord cover material is vapor permeable in an outward-flow direction. The protective umbilical cord cover may also include an umbilical cord cover material that is constructed to form the containment portion, wherein the umbilical cord cover material is vapor permeable in an outward-flow direction.

A device used for applying an antiseptic preparation to a surgical site of a patient prior to surgery outside of an operating theater. A loose-fitting bag is provided which encloses the surgical site by securing the open end(s) to the patient by closing means. A high friction scrub surface is provided in the bag. A method and apparatus are also provided for releasing antiseptic into the interior of the bag. The method provides that the surgical site can be scrubbed within the bag so as to properly prepare the skin for surgery. A temperature indicator for the antiseptic preparation is also provided.
