The invention relates to a compression bandage comprising a first non-woven laser (1) and at least one second non-woven layer (2) connected in a planar manner to the first non-woven layer (1), wherein superabsorbent fibers are provided in the first non-woven laser.

A kit that includes an absorbent product adapted for mucosal membrane hemostasis, and instructions using the absorbent product is disclosed. The absorbent product can include a liquid permeable pouch, and at least one sheet of absorbent material within the liquid permeable pouch. The instructions can include rolling and/or folding the absorbent product, placing the rolled and/or folded absorbent product proximate the site of the bleeding, and applying pressure to the absorbent product. The instructions can also include inserting the absorbent product into a mucous membrane, such as a nostril or the vaginal canal. Methods of utilizing the absorbent product and the kit are also disclosed.

A dynamic gas-flow wound dressing assembly and method for enhancing the effect of generated gas flow across a wound creates spacing between a medical dressing cover and the wound to enhance ventilation. The assembly provides a medical dressing cover that covers a wound. The medical dressing couples to a gas flow framing structure having a gas inlet and enclosed gas outlets. A high rate gas flow is introduced through gas flow framing structure. The gas discharges to cross the wound. A scaffolding partition member serves as a resilient spacer between the gas flow framing structure and wound, enhancing ventilation by forces on the skin and directing gas flow. The scaffolding includes intake ports and outlet ports in fluid communication with inlets and outlets of gas flow framing structure. The scaffolding carries generated gas flow from the gas flow framing structure to wound, covering a larger gas flow volume across wound.

An absorbent article and method of making the absorbent article are disclosed. The absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core structure having one or more layers wherein at least one layer is a heterogeneous mass layer, wherein the topsheet and the heterogeneous mass are integrated such that they reside in the same X-Y plane.

The present application provides a medical multi-layer product comprising a layer comprising nanofibrillar cellulose, and a layer of gauze. The present application also provides a medical product comprising the medical multi-layer product, and a cosmetic product comprising the medical multi-layer product. The present application also provides a method for preparing a medical multi-layer product, the method comprising providing a filter, providing a dispersion comprising nanofibrillar cellulose, providing a gauze, applying the dispersion onto the filter, applying the gauze onto the dispersion, and dewatering the structure through the filter to obtain the medical multi-layer product.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to negative pressure treatment systems and wound dressing systems, apparatuses, and methods that may be used for the treatment of wounds. In particular, some embodiments are directed to improved wound dressings comprising an obscuring layer that may hide fluid contained therein. Some embodiments may further comprise one or more viewing windows disposed therethrough so as to enable monitoring or examination of fluids contained therein.

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.

A composite material is described, which is of particular use in wound treatment, and to a method for producing said composite material is also described. The composite material has a first foam layer having a first hydrophilic polyurethane foam material, and, in immediate contact therewith, a second foam layer having a second hydrophilic polyurethane foam material, which second hydrophilic foam material is different from the first hydrophilic foam material.

In some embodiments, a system includes an applicator pad, an application device (e.g., a grip), and a reservoir. The grip can be releasably couplable to the applicator pad and configured to dispose the applicator pad against a wound of a subject such that pressure can be transferred to the wound via the applicator pad to enhance hemostasis. The reservoir can be configured to contain medication to be released to the wound via the applicator pad.

The present disclosure is directed to a therapeutic sleeve for a medical patient. The sleeve has an interior side and an exterior side. The sleeve can include a fastener on the interior side. A wound care component such as an absorbent pad can be fastened to the interior side of the sleeve. The wound care component can be removed and replaced when it expires. The sleeve can be fabricated from stretch fabric, allowing the sleeve to conform to a patient's arm or leg.
