Described is a medical dressing having a backing layer containing three dimensional features. The dressing is flexible and has an improved wear time. Also described is a method for preparing such a medical dressing.

A method and apparatus for automatically splicing two continuous three-layer tapes, wherein a longitudinally movable continuous wound tape is transversely cut so as to form individual wound pads which are applied in longitudinally spaced positions on adhesive surfaces of continuous carrier foils, and wherein a splicing element is cut from the continuous wound tape and is applied on tail and head portions of two continuous carrier foils.

The present invention belongs to the field of medical accessories, more precisely to the field of accessories for protection against outer conditions such as impacts, high or low temperature and similar conditions that can harm a human being. The invention relates to a personalized accessory for protection of a body part, which comprises a protective element, which fits to the shape of the excrescence, a scar or a wound, and an adjustable part to which the protective part is attached, glued, sewed or inserted, wherein the adjustable part can be stretched or in any other way adjusted to the particular body part, which has to be protected. The said accessory is manufactured in the following way: first the body part with the injury is scanned or measured in order to obtain a 3D model of the scanned or measured body part. Then the protective element is made using a 3D printer or thermoforming with an adjustable mould, wherein the finished protective element is then attached to the adjustable part.

A therapeutic device includes a generally rigid but elastically deformable sheet body including a bridge portion, first and second support portions extending outwardly from the bridge portion in opposite directions along a longitudinal dimension, and adhesive or an adhesion member on a first surface along the bridge portion that is adapted for adhesion to skin of a user above a target site. The therapeutic device also includes first and second projections on the first surface proximate to lateral edges of the sheet body. The sheet body is configured to assume a neutral configuration in which the first and second projections space the bridge portion and the adhesive or the adhesion member apart from the target site by an air gap, a depressed position during affixation of the first surface to the target site, and an adhesion configuration after affixation of the first surface to the target site.

A method of producing a packaging structure, including the steps: coating at least one surface of a first sheet base material and/or a second sheet base material with a synthetic polyisoprene latex having a weight average molecular weight of 500,000 -5,000,000 and/or a styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 100,000-300,000, sandwiching an article to be packaged in a state wherein the first and second sheet base material are in contact with each other via a latex coated surface formed on the first and/or second sheet base material to thereby obtain a laminated body, pressing a portion where at least the first and second sheet base material of the laminated body are in contact with each other via the latex coated surface at a temperature of 100° C. or less to thereby obtain a pressed laminated body, and performing a sterilization treatment on the pressed laminated body.

The invention relates to the technical field of cohesive bandages. The invention relates to a bandage comprising a flat web material as a substrate, both main sides of the substrate being coated at least partially with a hot-melt adhesive. The invention also relates to a hot-melt adhesive for producing a bandage, to the use of a hot-melt adhesive for producing bandages, and to a method for producing a bandage. The hot-melt adhesive is based on a first polyolefin having—a proportion of 1-butene-derived monomer units; a proportion of ethylene-derived monomer units; and the hot-melt adhesive further comprises: at least one tackifier consisting of hydrocarbon resin and/or of hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin. The hot-melt adhesive can also contain a second polyolefin, preferably an amorphous polypropylene homo- or copolymer.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet including a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer includes crater portions, each crater portion being concavely formed on an adhesive surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. A surface of the crater portion has a plurality of through holes.

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.

Aspects of the present disclosure include a simulated wound apparatus allowing a wearer to simulate injuries for purposes of casualty simulation and medical response training. Aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards a wearable medical training device and more specifically a device for training of hemorrhage control procedures on junctional bleeding. The present disclosure, when used by a live actor, may allow users to safely simulate hemorrhaging in some of the most challenging blood vessels in the most challenging anatomical locations such as the carotid artery, the axillary artery, and the femoral artery. The present disclosure may further provide the ability for users to safely perform hemorrhage control procedures, such as compression and ligation. The simulated wound of the present disclosure may be compressed to control hemorrhage. The simulated wound receptacle of the present disclosure may be packed with hemostatic or simple gauze to control hemorrhage. The simulated blood vessel of the device may be ligated with hemostats or other ligating instruments or material and bandaged with pressure dressings to control hemorrhage.

Various embodiments of an adhesive article and a method of forming such article are disclosed. The adhesive article includes an active pharmaceutical ingredient; a substrate having a first surface and a second surface including a first area and a second area; and a first adhesive layer disposed on the first area of the second surface of the substrate. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is present in the first adhesive layer at a first concentration. The adhesive article also includes a second adhesive layer having a first portion that is in contact with the first adhesive layer and a second portion that is disposed in the second area of the substrate. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is present in the second adhesive layer at a second concentration. The second concentration is less than the first concentration.
