A treatment system for debriding a treatment area of a tissue site and applying negative pressure is disclosed. In some embodiments, the treatment system may include an ultrasonic bubble generator fluidly coupled to a negative-pressure source, fluid source, and a dressing. Fluid may be drawn from the fluid source to the ultrasonic bubble generator, whereby micro-bubbles and ultrasonic waves may be generated in the fluid before the fluid is instilled to the dressing.

A perineal bandage for preventing and treating tears that occur during childbirth. The perineal bandage may comprise a flexible bandage comprising a first side and a second side, wherein the second side comprises an adhesive configured to adhere the bandage to the skin of a patient. The perineal bandage may further include a plurality of tearing zones that tear before the bandage. The perineal bandage may further include a reinforced region disposed along a portion of a bottom edge of the bandage, wherein the reinforced region requires a greater amount of force to tear than the bandage and the tearing zones.

A method of providing moisture therapy to a subject by applying a moist therapy compress against a treated body portion. The moist therapy compress includes a fluid-permeable shell, a flexible backing fastened to the shell to define an enclosure, and a hydrophilic zeolite fill granules loosely contained within the enclosure. The therapy compress is exposed to a source of moisture to cause absorption of water into the hydrophilic zeolite, and the moisture is delivered from the hydrophilic zeolite through the fluid permeable shell to the treated body portion.

A self-adhesive member for adhering to and covering a portion of a user's skin is disclosed. The self-adhesive member has a backing layer having a self-adhesive coating. The backing layer has a first and a second portion, where the first portion surrounds the second portion, and where the first portion has a first row of slits extending along an outer edge of the backing layer and being distanced a first distance therefrom and the second portion being either void of slits or being provided with fewer slits per area unit than the first portion.

The invention relates to a self-adhesive member for adhering to and covering a portion of a user's skin, said self-adhesive member comprising a backing layer having a self-adhesive coating, said backing layer comprises at least a first and a second portion, wherein said first portion surrounds said second portion, and wherein said first portion comprises at least a first row of slits extending along an outer edge of said backing layer and being distanced a first distance therefrom and said second portion being either void of slits or being provided with fewer slits per area unit than said first portion.

The invention relates to a dressing (1) for treating wounds in damp or wet situations, comprising: a) a suction/rinsing body (2) which is supplied by the manufacturer with a saline aqueous solution, particularly a Ringer's solution, said solution preferably containing a substance exhibiting an antimicrobial effect, b) a planar carrier material (3) which is arranged on the side of the suction/rinsing body (2) that faces away from the wound and which projects over said suction/rinsing body (2) such that an edge extending around all sides of the suction/rinsing body (2) is formed, said edge being provided, with a layer of a skin-compatible silicone adhesive (4) on the side facing the wound, and c) a first protective layer (5) that covers the layer of a skin-compatible silicone adhesive (4) on the side facing the wound, characterized in that the wound dressing (1) comprises a second protective layer (6) arranged on the side of the carrier material (3) facing away from the wound, wherein both the first and the second protective layers (5,6) fully project beyond the carrier material (3), wherein the first protective layer (5) forms an opening that leaves the suction/rinsing body (2) uncovered, and wherein the first and second protective layers (5,6) protect the layer of a skin-compatible silicone adhesive (4) from contact with liquid and steam.

A heat-shrinkable medical dressing structure for suture-free and scar-free wound closure, including a heat-shrinkable sheet portion and a non-heat-shrinkable sheet edge portion. The non-heat-shrinkable sheet edge portion is arranged along the bottom peripheral surface of the heat-shrinkable sheet portion and the two portions are fixed as one. The bottom surface of the non-heat-shrinkable sheet edge portion is provided with an adhesive layer. Shrinking force, produced when the heat-shrinkable sheet portion is heated, interworks with the adhesive edges so that wound closure is easily achieved without any sutures or secondary wounds. The heat-shrinkable medical dressing structure helps lessen pain and there will not be any scarring from sutures. It is easy to use and saves time and effort.

An adhesive bandage is combined with temporary tattoos. When the bandage is removed with water, a temporary tattoo is transferred to the skin. In some embodiments, the adhesive bandage can comprise a base strip, an adhesive layer, a pad, a protective strip and a temporary tattoo assembly, further comprising of at least an ink layer and a release coating.

A treatment system for debriding a treatment area of a tissue site and applying negative pressure is disclosed. In some embodiments, the treatment system may include an ultrasonic bubble generator fluidly coupled to a negative-pressure source, fluid source, and a dressing. Fluid may be drawn from the fluid source to the ultrasonic bubble generator, whereby micro-bubbles and ultrasonic waves may be generated in the fluid before the fluid is instilled to the dressing.

One embodiment of a waterproof bandage for reliably protecting sensitive sites from water intrusion, despite potential flaws in the seal to skin, comprises three major components: the inner bandage, comprising an absorbent layer (1) and a waterproof layer (2); the outer bandage, comprising an absorbent layer (3) and a waterproof layer (4); and an adhesive layer (5) binding the waterproof layer of the inner bandage (2) and the absorbent layer of the outer bandage (3) together. When properly sized, registered and bonded, the outer absorbent layer (3) functions to wick away and to prevent any water that may penetrate the outer waterproof layer (4) from breaching or damaging the inner bandage. The waterproof bandage can be configured in various sizes as a bandage (FIG. 1), or as a sleeve-like cover for a protected site on hands, arms, feet, legs, and other parts of the body (FIGS. 3 and 4).
