A wound dressing is selectively configurable for use in a pressure gradient wound therapy system and for use without a pressure gradient wound therapy system. The wound dressing can include a covering layer, an aperture and a base plate. the base plate can be configured to sealingly receive a connector part.

The present disclosure relates to a dressing (100) comprising a backing layer (101), an adhesive skin contact layer (102) and a first release liner (103), wherein the adhesive skin contact layer (102) comprises a central portion (102a) and an edge portion (102b) surrounding the central portion (102a). The first release liner (103) is configured to be releasably attached to at least the central portion (102a) of the adhesive skin contact layer (102). The dressing (100) comprises a second release liner (104) arranged between the first release liner (103) and at least part of the edge portion (102b) of the adhesive skin contact layer (102).

The present invention relates to a dressing band including a sheet portion whose lower surface comes in close contact with a user's body, an adhesive portion which is applied on the lower surface of the sheet portion and attached to the body, a gauze portion which is attached to the lower surface of the sheet portion and comes in close contact with an affected area of the body, a protective film portion which is attached to a lower surface of the adhesive portion to cover the gauze portion and is separated from the adhesive portion during attachment of the sheet portion to the body, and a grip portion which protrudes from one side of the sheet portion in order to be gripped by the user and is rotatably connected to the one side of the sheet portion with respect to a fold line.

Disclosed is an adhesive wound healing tape comprised of a water vapor permeable backing and adhesive that can be applied over a wound and remain in place throughout the healing process. Preferably, the tape is applied over a wound without gauze bandage or non-stick gauze material and compresses opposing sides of the cut into one another to promote faster healing with a less visible and often invisible scar.

A dressing for a wound includes a drape, an absorbent core, and a wicking member. The drape can be configured to sealingly couple with a patient's skin surrounding the wound. The drape may enclose an inner volume of the dressing. The absorbent core layer may be positioned within the inner volume of the dressing. The wicking member is positioned within the inner volume, wherein the wicking member extends from an underside of the absorbent core layer to the drape. The indicator may be configured to fluidly couple with the wicking member through the drape and receive fluid from the wicking member. The indicator may be configured to provide a visual wound status indication in response to receiving fluid from the wound through the wicking member.

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 dressing for use in a vacuum wound therapy treatment includes a backing layer for positioning over a wound to define a reservoir in which a reduced pressure may be maintained over the wound. A portal member affixed to the backing layer provides a connection to a reduced pressure source through an opening in an ambient surface. A primary port extends between the opening and a primary aperture in a reservoir surface to providing fluid communication between the reservoir and the reduced pressure source. At least one supplemental port establishes fluid communication between the primary port and a supplemental aperture in the reservoir surface that is distinct and substantially spaced from the primary aperture.

A method for manufacturing a medical tape includes: applying a solution polymer serving as an elastic base member portion having an elastic function to an upper layer of a film forming base portion having an inelastic function to form a film of the solution polymer; laminating an adhesion portion having a function to apply and hold the elastic base member portion to a skin on an upper layer of the elastic base member portion, and laminating a release portion having a function to protect the adhesion portion on an upper layer of the adhesion portion; peeling and removing the film forming base portion from the elastic base member portion to obtain the elastic base member portion in a state where a residual shrink force generated by a forming shrinkage of the solution polymer is reduced and to obtain a three-layer structure consisting of the elastic base member portion.

Disclosed herein are several embodiments of a negative pressure system and methods of using the same in the treatment of wounds. Some embodiments are directed to a system that utilizes a wound dressing with at least three layers. These embodiments are directed toward improved distribution of negative pressure to a wound and periwound site surrounding the wound. Some embodiments are directed to a fixation strip for sealing a wound dressing to a wound and periwound site. The fixation strip can comprise multiple layers including an adhering layer, a wound sealing layer and at least one protective liner.

A wound dressing is provided. The wound dressing includes a moisture-transmissible backing layer having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a backing layer perimeter; an absorbent hydrophilic adhesive adhered to at least a portion of the second major surface of the backing layer, the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive comprising an absorbent hydrophilic adhesive perimeter; an antimicrobial agent disposed in the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive; a porous layer having a first side adhered to the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive, a second side, and a porous layer perimeter; and a second hydrophobic adhesive adhered to the second side of the porous layer. The second major surface has a first hydrophobic adhesive disposed thereon proximate the backing layer perimeter. 100% of the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive perimeter is overlapped by the backing layer. At least 50% of the porous layer perimeter is overlapped by the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive.
