A wound management system can comprise a surgically acceptable adhesive disposed over a wound and a surgically acceptable film repositionably disposed over the surgically acceptable adhesive, and methods of managing a wound involving the same.

The present invention is directed to a hemostatic semi-solid paste material comprising a bioabsorbable carrier hemostatic material; and a supplemental hemostatic agent; wherein the paste material has an elongated form extending along a lengthwise axis with an aspect ratio of at least 3; wherein the paste is self-supporting and syringe extrudable; and wherein the supplemental hemostatic agent has a non-homogenous distribution profile across a cross-section taken across the lengthwise axis. In another aspect, the present invention relates to devices for forming and expressing the hemostatic material.

The present invention (a) provides, at low cost, a water absorbing agent (i) that has a suppressed amount of generated dust and a suppressed amount of dust that increases over time and (ii) that also has a high absorption capacity without load, a high absorption capacity under load, a high vertical diffusion absorbency under load, and a high absorbency in a short period of time, and (b) also provides a method for evaluating, in a short period of time, an amount of dust that increases over time. A particulate water absorbing agent of the present invention includes: a surface crosslinked polyacrylic acid (salt)-based water absorbent resin as a main component; a hydrophilic polymer compound; and a stabilizing agent.

Described herein are compositions of alginate formulations that include water, divalent ions, and alginate cross-linked by the divalent ions, and their use for treating incisional wounds, such as intra-incisional application.

A porous sintered multicomponent applicator nib and methods of making and using these nibs. The porous nibs are made from sintered plastic particles. These nibs are used with liquid applicators devices, medical devices, writing tools or cosmetic applicators to apply liquids containing high solids or pigments to surfaces such as metal, paper, skin, hair, tissue or a wound.

This document provides devices, system, and methods for treating an abscess cavity. For example, procedures that involve supplementing a biocompatible filler material with a therapeutic agent to promote tissue regeneration and healing are provided. The biocompatible filler materials that are treated with a therapeutic agent are implanted into the abscess cavity. The biocompatible filler material provides a tissue growth scaffold, and the therapeutic agent enhances tissue growth and healing.
