In aspects of bi-directional packaging adhesive, a sterile package includes an adhesive patch that adheres to an applied surface. The sterile package includes a non-stick backing that adheres to the adhesive patch, with the non-stick backing being removable for application of the adhesive patch. The sterile package includes packaging that encompasses the adhesive patch and the non-stick backing, and includes a bi-directional adhesive configured to release in a first package opening direction to remove the packaging while maintaining the adherence of the non-stick backing to the adhesive patch, and hold in a second package opening direction to remove the non-stick backing from the adhesive patch along with removing the packaging. A portion of the non-stick backing is attached to an inside of the packaging with the bi-directional adhesive, and the attached portion peels the non-stick backing from the adhesive patch in the second package opening direction to open the packaging.

The present disclosure relates to a medical device for curing a liquid bandage and a method for curing a liquid bandage using same. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the medical device for curing a liquid bandage includes: an input unit into which an external signal is input; and a light source unit including a diode that emits ultraviolet rays for curing the liquid bandage according to the inputted signal.

Devices, kits and methods described herein include skin treatments with a book-like packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device used to apply a dressing to a subject. The packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device is used to apply and/or maintain a strain in an elastic dressing, and has a first support, a second support, and a primary bending region therebetween, the primary bending region comprising a primary bending axis, with the dressing attached to the first and second supports of the device.

A bandage pulling tool has a thin elongate body and a hole extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the thin elongate body proximate an end thereof. In use, a first end of a bandage is secured to the tool using the hole by passing a first end of the bandage through the hole for use as an anchor point to the tool. With the bandage thus secured to the tool in a position passing through the hole therein, the first end of the bandage can be passed from a first side of a body portion of an injured party to another behind the body portion using the elongated shape of the tool. Accordingly, a wrap around bandage can be applied to the patient with minimal, if any, movement of potentially injured areas compared to prior art techniques of manually feeding the bandage behind the injured party.

A Y-type gauze positioning rod is adapted to be disposed in a Y-type gauze so as to position the Y-type gauze to an affected region. The Y-type gauze positioning rod includes a Y-type flexible body having a holder and two supporting branches. The two supporting branches are connected to the holder and separated from each other. A

Y-type gauze positioning assembly is further provided.

A bandage securing device composed of a first sheet part and a second sheet part, and optionally also a third sheet part. The first and second sheet parts are connected to each other along a connection line extending in a width direction and arranged to overlap each other, thereby forming a jaw-like structure in a longitudinal direction. At least one of the first and second sheet parts, and possibly both, are provided with at least one first adherent fastening layer on an internal surface facing the overlap. Further, the bandage securing device can include at least one second adherent fastening layer on an external surface, not facing the overlap, to detachably connect to the bandage. This second adherent fastening layer may be provided on one of the first and second sheet parts, and/or on the third sheet part.

Devices, kits and methods described herein may be for treatment to skin, including but not limited to wound healing, the treatment, amelioration, and/or prevention of scars or keloids. An applicator and/or tensioning device may be used to apply a dressing to a subject. The applicator and/or tensioning device applies and/or maintains a strain in an elastic dressing, wherein at least some of the strain is out-of-plane or at a non-orthogonal, non-parallel and non-aligned orientation to other strains in the dressing.

A sensor strip comprises an elongate member that is segmented; the segments are defined by longitudinal and transverse grooves, such that the adjacent segments are hinged together; the longitudinal grooves define a central column and outer columns of segments; the segments in the outermost columns are tapered outwardly; and a pressure sensitive sensor is mounted in a plurality of the segments in the central column. A sensor strip of the invention can be used by introducing it under a bandage and recording the pressure at each of the pressure-sensitive sensors.

A plaster preparation includes (a) at least one resorbable polymer made of at least three monomer units, in particular a terpolymer, having monomers selected from the group consisting of trimethylene carbonate, glycolide, lactide (in particular DL-lactide), p-dioxanone, ε-caprolactone and/or butyrolactone; (b) at least one readily vaporizable organic solvent; and (c) at least one propellant. The plaster preparation additionally relates to a polymer film, to a spray plaster spray device, to a method for producing polymer fiber nonwoven materials, to a polymer fiber nonwoven material, and to uses of the plaster preparation.

Described herein are adhesive support devices, which may include adhesive medical devices. In particular, three-dimensional adhesive medical devices from a single layer of material, typically by stamping or pressing (including cold pressing) a sheet of the material to form rigid and complex 3D shapes capable of use for a variety of medical and non-medical purposes. These adhesive support devices typically also include an adhesive material allowing the device to be attached to a subject's skin and/or mounted on a surface (e.g., wall, etc.). In particular, described herein are methods of manufacturing, assembling, and using adhesive support devices.
