A multi-layered wound dressing including a fibrous absorbent layer for absorbing exudate from a wound site. The wound dressing also includes a support layer configured to reduce shrinkage of at least a portion of the wound 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 bandage intended for use on digits; i.e. fingers and toes, to cover injuries to the knuckle or pad area of the first joint on the hand or foot. The bandage is configured as a pad with an angled loop, the loop used as an anchor around the base of a digit in order to resist motions that might peel the bandage off the skin. The pad may contain medicines suitable for treating a wound or injury, may be radio opaque, may contain a reinforced surface to prevent compression or skin friction at the site, or other ancillary devices. The loop is deformable in length in order to fit different digits and wound locations.

Medical articles comprising a conformable wound dressing and delivery system. The wound dressing generally comprises a backing having a first major surface and a second major surface, an adhesive on the second major surface of the backing, and an absorbent pad proximate the second major surface of the backing. The backing extends beyond the perimeter of the absorbent pad, typically beyond the entire perimeter of the pad. The perimeter of the wound dressing has a concave feature that exhibits a local minimum. An axis extends from the local minimum to the perimeter of the wound dressing opposite the local minimum. The carrier overlies at least a portion of the backing on each side of the axis but does not overlie the backing along the axis. The wound dressing is especially designed for use on round or irregular shaped body parts, such as an elbow or heel.

A bandage intended for use on digits; i.e. fingers and toes, to cover injuries to knuckle or joint pad areas on the hand or foot. The bandage is configured as a pad with an angled loop, the loop meant to surround the base of a digit in order to resist motions that might peel the bandage off the skin. The pad may contain medicines suitable for treating a wound or injury, may be radio opaque, may contain a reinforced surface to prevent compression or skin friction at the site, or other ancillary devices. The loop is deformable in length in order to fit different digits and wound locations.

A medical dressing comprising a backing layer and a self-supporting substrate. The backing layers form a perimeter around the self-supporting substrate and holds the self-supporting substrate in place on a wound. The medical dressing forms a sealed environment surrounding the wound such that a negative pressure can be maintained in the sealed environment through the valve.

Provided is a topical skin application sheet having high affinity for skin and having an excellent occlusive dressing therapy (ODT) effect and excellent stretchability. Provided are a laminated adhesive sheet for skin including a skin adhesion layer, a protective adhesion layer, and a highly stretchable support laminated in this order; and a laminated adhesive sheet for skin including a skin adhesion layer, an intermediate layer, a protective adhesion layer, and a highly stretchable support laminated in this order.

A medical dressing for prevention of pressure ulcers is described. The dressing has a backing layer, a pad, and a body contact layer, wherein the pad is arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer. The body contact layer has an adhesive skin contact layer and an anisotropic layer having a first (x) direction and a second (y) direction perpendicular to the first (x) direction. The anisotropic layer is stiffer in the second (y) direction than in the first (x) direction. The dressing reduces shear and compression forces on the skin and in the underlying soft tissue layers and prevents the onset of pressure ulcers.

Patch (1) for regenerating biological tissues in patients and method of manufacture associated with the same, comprising a collagen membrane (2) which comprises cells with a regenerative character; and at least one reinforcement element (3a, 3b) configured to increase the rigidity of said membrane (2), preventing the deformation of said membrane (2) during the handling thereof; wherein said reinforcement element (3a, 3b) can be a perimeter frame (3a) and/or a crossed attachment (3b) between the ends of said membrane (2); which provides a patch (1) which can be applied to any type of biological organ with maximum assurances of success as well as reducing the application time.

An instant breathable cast includes an inner sleeve of an absorbent moisture wicking porous innermost layer allowing air and liquid to pass through and a shock absorbing intermediate layer having a plurality of openings therein allowing air and liquid to pass there through; and a protective outer sleeve having a plurality of openings therein allowing air and liquid to pass there through; and method of application thereof.
