A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure, having an integrated sensor comprising a force or load measurement sensor. The sensor may telemeter to a therapy system the deformation of the dressing as the dressing is pushed into the tissue site during the application of negative pressure to the tissue site. The sensor may measure the force that is applied to the dressing. Measurements of the force applied to the dressing may be taken using the sensor on a periodic basis during negative-pressure therapy to enable monitoring of the fill level of the tissue site as granulation tissue fills the tissue site. Monitoring of the force applied to the tissue site over the course of negative-pressure therapy may assist a clinician in making decisions on how to manage and treat the patient, as well as providing confirmatory data about the efficacy of the therapy.

Wounds dressings, systems, and methods are presented that involve using a patient's body heat to enhance liquid removal from the wound dressing through a high-moisture-vapor-transmission-rate drape. Additional heat sources or devices, such as nano-antennas or electrical heating elements, may be added or used separately to enhance the removal liquid from the wound dressing. Other dressings, systems, and methods are presented herein.

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.

The disclosure relates to a wound dressing comprising a fibre fleece-based body, and a packaging forming the outer visible sides of the wound dressing, which packaging contains a layer made from a flat textile on the side of the wound dressing facing the wound, which has an outer-side, partially and structurally applied coating, and wherein the packaging has a fibre fleece layer on the side of the wound dressing facing away from the wound, which forms the outer visible side of the wound dressing; and, a liquid-impermeable plastic film layer on the side of the fibre fleece layer facing the wound, and wherein the fibre fleece layer, the plastic film layer, the body and the textile layer are not connected to one another, but rather lie with the flat sides thereof loosely and movably against one another and are only connected along the peripheral edges by a joint connection.

A medical bandage for the treatment of pressure ulcers as part of wound care management, consisting of a flexible bladder cushion, conforming to the body shape to relieve pressure by redistributing the concentration forces as leading causes of wound(s) and allowing for ventilation for increasing healing. The bandage incorporates an absorbent padding and an adhesive flange.

The present invention relates to a multilayered wound dressing particularly for wound treatment in the granulation and epithelization phase. The wound dressing comprises a) a first layer as a wound contact layer having a first side and a second side, and b) at least one second layer as an absorbent layer having a first side and a second side and comprising a hydrophilic polyurethane foam, wherein the polyurethane foam comprises a water fraction of at least 10% by weight of water.

An article for therapy and treatment of at least one eye. The article includes a backing for application to the at least one eye. The backing includes at least one receiver positioned to align with the at least one eye. The article also includes at least one pod that is detachably secured within the at least one receiver. The at least one pod includes material for delivering therapy and treatment to the at least one eye.

The invention relates to a wound dressing (2) for wound treatment in a damp environment, comprising a fiber fleece-based suction/irrigation body (4) in which super absorbent material is accommodated in a distributed manner, wherein the suction/irrigation body (4) is supplied with a salt-containing aqueous solution by the manufacturer, and comprising a packaging (6) forming the outer visible sides of the wound dressing, wherein the packaging (6) comprises a layer (9) made from a flat textile material on the side of the wound dressing facing the wound, wherein the layer (9) made from a flat textile material on the side facing the wound comprises an outer-side, partially and structurally applied atraumatically effective coating (22) having a degree of coverage of at most 70%, characterised in that the packaging (6) comprises a fiber fleece layer (12) on the side of the wound dressing facing away from the wound, which forms the outer visible side (14) of the wound dressing facing away from the wound, and in that a liquid-impermeable plastic film layer (16) is arranged on the side of said fiber fleece layer (12) facing the wound, and in that the fiber fleece layer (12), the plastic film layer (16), the suction/irrigation body (4) and the layer (9) made from flat textile material are not connected extensively to one another, but rather lie with the flat sides thereof loosely and movably against one another and are only connected with one another along the peripheral edges (18) of same by means of a joint connection.
