FLUID COLLECTION ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE OF A PROTRUSION OR AT LEAST ONE EXPANDABLE MATERIAL

An example female fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid impermeable barrier at least defines a chamber and an opening. The female fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The porous material extends across the opening. In an embodiment, the portion of the porous material that extends across the opening include a protrusion that extends outwardly from the opening. In an embodiment, the porous material includes at least one expandable material that is configured to expand (e.g., increase in volume) when the expandable material exposed to one or more bodily fluids (e.g., urine).

Wound dressing comprising a combination of hydrogel and honey, method of preparation and uses thereof
12343238 · 2025-07-01 · ·

The present disclosure provides a wound dressing composition comprising cross-linked hydrogel scaffold and embedded therein anti-bacterially active honey, said activity being determined by the detection of hydrogen peroxide production rate by said wound dressing; said wound dressing further comprising at least one of a photo-initiator and/or at least one UV cross linker, the total amount of said photo-initiator and/or UV cross linker is equal or less than 0.2% w/w out of the total weight of the wound dressing. Also disclosed herein is a method of preparing the wound dressing and methods of using the same with respect to wounds, the method of preparation comprises mixing a hydrogel forming mixture comprising hydrogel forming monomer or monomers, honey and at least one photo-initiator and/or at least one UV cross-liker to form a homogenous mixture; and subjecting the homogenous mixture to UV irradiation until said homogenous mixture solidifies.
