Disclosed are solid and frozen haemostatic materials having a rod shape and suitable applicators and plungers for application of such dressings to wounded tissue wherein said dressings consisting essentially of a fibrinogen component and a fibrinogen activator. Also disclosed are methods of treating internal wounded tissue in a mammal by applying one or more of these haemostatic materials and dressings, particularly for the treatment of injured tissue via endoscopic or minimally-invasive surgical techniques.

A system for treating open wounds includes a foam material configured for pouring, spraying, injecting or spreading on a wound bed. The foam material can comprise a base component and a curing component, which can be pre-mixed before application, or mixed in situ as the components are being applied to the wound site. A third component can comprise a sacrificial porogen. Foam can be placed in the wound bed as a wound liner on the wound surfaces. An additional foam insulation can provide a foam filler partially contained by the wound liner and generally flush with a patient's epidermis. A method of treating open wounds includes the steps of applying the wound liner and filler components. An optional step comprises covering the wound liner with a semi-permeable (breathable) membrane and mounting inlet and outlet ports thereon for introducing healing compositions as input, and extracting wound exudates as output.

This invention is related to wound care in humans and animals, and they reduce the use of adhesives. Also allows the process of wound dressing to be faster, easier, and applicable even with one hand. In these models, a support unit and straps are used. These straps are stretchable and attach to a zone of the hook fastener on the support on a detachable, re-attachable basis. In some models the support unit will function as the stabilizer of the system or to make the functions simpler. The main idea is used in making multiple models for use in different areas of the body. In other models the unit allows guarding the skin and wound site or for the protection of the wound. All in all, the applicant has tried to introduce units for improving the humans and animals life.

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

A wound healing device and method that greatly reduces the risk of infection of an incision or wound by removing fluid from the subcutaneous skin layers. The wound healing device includes a first portion that is positioned external of, and on top of, the wound. At least one strip, cord, finger, member is in fluid communication at one end with the first portion while the second free end of the at least one strip, cord, finger, member is pushed down into the wound, in between the sutures or staples of a closed incision. Both the first portion and the at least one strip comprise fluid absorbable material for absorbing the wound fluid. The device remains in place for approximately 1-3 days after which it is removed. Upon removal, natural temporary “type of fistulae” are formed in the subcutaneous skin layers to continue draining wound fluids upward for another 1-2 days.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed relating to the creation and use of bespoke wound fillers and other wound treatment apparatuses. Some embodiments provide for the creation of bespoke wound fillers based on characteristics of a wound. Certain embodiments also include the use of bespoke wound fillers in combination with negative pressure to treat a wound.

A tissue interface for treating a tissue site and systems and methods of manufacturing the same are described. The tissue interface can include a plurality of shapes and a plurality of ribs. Each rib of the plurality of ribs can have a first end coupled to a respective shape of the plurality of shapes and a second end coupled to at least one other rib of the plurality of ribs. The tissue interface can also include a sheet of felted open-cell foam and a plurality of holes formed in the sheet. Each hole can extend through the sheet. Each hole can have a first end and a second end joined by a gauge section. The first end and the second end can form shoulders that are wider than the gauge section.

Foam wound inserts with high-density and low-density regions, methods for making wound inserts, wound-treatment methods, and wound-treatment systems.

As an example, in some embodiments is a dressing that may comprise a manifold, a bioresorbable component, and a degradation-modulating component. The degradation-modulating component may cover two or more surfaces of the bioresorbable component. The degradation-modulating component may be further configured to modulate degradation of the bioresorbable component.

An apparatus for protecting a wound. The apparatus includes a waterproof shield element to cover a wound area of a user's body, where the elevated top surface of the shield element is elevated away from the user's body. A retention mechanism selectively retains the shield element against the user's body, utilizing the elevated top surface to create a normal force between the shield element and the user's body to thereby form an effective seal between the shield element and the user's body.
