This invention relates to the field of a total covering breathable hand or foot compression bandage system that comprises a breathable hand compression wound bandage cover assembly; a breathable elastic fit compression sterile fabric hand or foot glove compression bandage insert which is inserted into the outer casing member of the hand compression wound bandage system; a plurality of sterile finger and toe tip absorbent pad bandages; adjustable cinching compression bandage straps that have a means to employ adjustable bandage straps to apply pressure to various potential user-selected wound locations; a wrist or ankle fastener which is integrated into the hand or foot compression wound bandage system at the wrist or ankle location to prevent the outflowing of blood or the entry of contaminates. Additional embodiments are a water proof model, have extra absorbency palm members that can apply extra wound pressure, or have pockets.

A wound care product having buffer substances and a wound cover, and a method for treatment of a wound therewith. The wound cover has a foam. The pH value of the buffer solution obtained when the buffer substances are dissolved in demineralized water at 37° C. is between 3 and 7.

A nasal drip pad apparatus for use on an individual. The apparatus includes a drip pad assembly positioned configured to be positioned underneath an individual's nose and a string forming configured to form a pair of loops. One of the loops is placed around one of the patient's ears and the other one of the loops is placed around the other one of the patient's ears.

A wound care device for debriding a wound, said device is in the form of a foam pad with two layers of different foams. At one surface of the device is provided a pattern of grooved at the central portion. The grooves improve the ability of removing and collecting debris from a wound during cleaning of such.

Provided herein are methods for making foam materials and foam material products having a polyurethane foam matrix defining a plurality of pores, a hydrophilic agent retained within at least a portion of the pores for improving an absorption of the foam material, a salt retained within at least a portion of the pores in an amount sufficient to render the foam material isotonic, a surfactant retained within at least a portion of the pores in an amount sufficient to be released upon contact with a moist surface. Also provided herein are methods for making a multilayer foam by casting a second foam layer on a first foam layer substrate and compressing the second foam layer before the second layer is fully cured to form an interface layer in situ.

A wound dressing for wireless communication with a transceiver includes a radio-frequency antenna circuit disposed on a flexible substrate, and an electrochemical moisture sensor circuit disposed on a surface of the flexible substrate. An adhesive is provided to attach the wound dressing skin of a user. The electrochemical moisture sensor is arranged between the adhesive and the flexible substrate.

A method of making a nonwoven fiber web comprises: providing a melt-blown nonwoven fiber web comprising bonded primary fibers having an average fiber diameter of 2 to 100 microns, wherein the primary fibers comprise a copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units; opening at least a portion of the melt-blown nonwoven fiber web to provide loose primary fibers; combining the loose primary fibers with secondary fibers; and forming a secondary nonwoven fiber web comprising the primary fibers and secondary fibers. A fiber web preparable according to the method and a multicomponent fiber including a first phase comprising a copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units and a second phase comprising a non-biodegradable polymer.

A knit hemostatic bandage provided herein can include a continuous rayon fiber and a continuous glass fiber. The knit hemostatic bandage can have a gauge of between 10 and 30 stitches per inch. The knit hemostatic bandage can have a Young's modulus of elasticity of less than 50 MPa.

A wound dressing including a porous biosynthetic polymer film comprising a poly(lactide-co-caprolactone) (“PLC”) copolymer or other suitable polymer matrix, and a local analgesic loaded therein, to provide pain relief over an extended period of time (e.g., for 5-7 days), e.g., for healing of a partial thickness dermal injury. The PLC copolymer may have a particular lactide/caprolactone molar ratio (e.g., from 2:1 to 9:1) to ensure slow, sustained release of the bupivacaine or other analgesic. The dressing may provide a water vapor transmission rate from 1000 g/m.sup.2.Math.day to 3000 g/m.sup.2.Math.day to facilitate fast healing and regrowth of new epithelial tissue beneath the dressing. The dressing is configured to remain positioned over the dermal injury, providing wound protection for about 14 days, after which is simply debrides away, falls off, or is easily and painlessly removed, once new epithelial tissue regrows.

A pressure-sensing compression bandage having a plurality of pressure sensors provided to indicate the pressures applied by and/or the pressure gradient created by, the applied bandage at various locations along its length when the bandage is applied to a limb or other extremity.
