20100286639 | MEDICAL DRESSING WITH EDGE PORT AND METHODS OF USE - Medical dressings and medical dressing kits that can be used to provide a ported medical dressing for placement over a wound or other body site where controlled fluid access is desired. The controlled fluid access provided by the medical dressings may be useful to remove fluids from the wound (as in, e.g., negative or reduced pressure therapies), to provide one or more gases to a wound site, to provide one or more liquids to a wound site, and/or to provide one or more active agents to a wound site. To achieve controlled fluid access, the medical dressing and medical dressing kits may include a port body with a lower surface that is adhesively adhered to the skin at the periphery of a wound or other body site. | 11-11-2010 |
20110112457 | MEDICAL ARTICLES AND METHODS OF MAKING USING IMMISCIBLE MATERIAL - Provided are medical articles (e.g., wound dressings) that include a pressure sensitive adhesive layer and methods of making the medical articles using immiscible materials that increase moisture vapor transmission rates. | 05-12-2011 |
20110112458 | MEDICAL ARTICLES AND METHODS OF MAKING USING MISCIBLE COMPOSITION - Provided are methods of improving the moisture vapor transmission rate of a pressure sensitive adhesive layer in a medical article with a miscible composition, as well as medical articles including the improved pressure sensitive adhesive layer. | 05-12-2011 |
20110166492 | HYDROGELS WITH RELEASE ELEMENT - An adhesive hydrogel dressing as well as methods of applying the dressing to a patient. The dressing generally comprises an adhesive hydrogel pad, a backing layer, and an adhesive layer on the backing layer facing the hydrogel pad. The adhesive layer and backing layer form a perimeter around the hydrogel pad and hold the hydrogel pad in place on an application surface. A release element is in contact with at least a portion of the edge of the hydrogel pad proximate the area that the hydrogel pad and release liner separate during liner removal. | 07-07-2011 |
20110290119 | ANTIMICROBIAL ELECTRET WEB - Antimicrobial electret material are described. In some embodiments, the materials comprise a unitary web comprising an antimicrobial surface treatment and having certain properties. In other embodiments, an antimicrobial electret material is described comprising an electret web comprising an antimicrobial surface treatment wherein the surface treatment comprises a sparingly soluble silver-containing compound, a photosensitive antimicrobial agent that forms reactive oxygen species, a biguanide compound, or a combination thereof. | 12-01-2011 |
20120237584 | SILVER-CONTAINING ANTIMICROBIAL ARTICLES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE - A silver composition comprising silver sulfate, methods of making antimicrobial articles, particularly packaged antimicrobial articles, methods of whitening antimicrobial articles, and packaged antimicrobial articles. | 09-20-2012 |
20130011296 | METHOD OF STERILIZATION OF WOUND DRESSINGS - Methods of sterilizing articles such as wound dressings, include the steps of providing an article that includes a polymer layer, applying an aqueous solution to the polymer layer and applying electron beam radiation to the article. The polymer layer includes a hydrophobic organic matrix that includes an elastomeric polymer and hydrophilic polymeric microparticles dispersed within the elastomeric polymer. Applying the aqueous solution to the polymer layer at least partially swells the hydrophilic microparticles of the polymer layer. In some articles the polymer layer includes an elastomeric polymer, hydrophilic polymeric microparticles dispersed within the elastomeric polymer, and hydrophilic polymer particles with greater than 10 micrometers average particle size dispersed within the hydrophobic organic matrix. These articles may be sterilized by applying either electron beam or gamma radiation. | 01-10-2013 |
20130303958 | MEDICAL ARTICLES AND METHODS OF MAKING USING IMMISCIBLE MATERIAL - Provided are medical articles (e.g., wound dressings) that include a pressure sensitive adhesive layer and methods of making the medical articles using immiscible materials that increase moisture vapor transmission rates. | 11-14-2013 |
20140249462 | DRESSING WITH ION-CARRYING COMPOSITION - A wound dressing comprising an open-cell foam substrate infused with an ion-containing composition in a water-dispersible carrier is provided. The composition includes citric acid or a salt thereof; salts of potassium, rubidium, and zinc ions; and a carrier comprising two or more polyol components, at least one polyol component being solid at 23 degrees C. A method of treating a wound with said wound dressing is also provided. | 09-04-2014 |
20140378923 | WOUND DRESSING ASSEMBLY - The disclosed wound dressing assembly includes an absorbent body with removeably attached tape strips partially secured to the absorbent body for a simple and efficient way to provide for securement of an absorbent body while also making tape strips readily available for additional securement needs. The wound dressing assembly comprises an absorbent body comprising a first skin-facing surface and a second surface, opposite the first surface, a first tape strip comprising a substrate coated with a soft, elastomeric adhesive, wherein a first portion of the first tape strip is removeably secured to the absorbent body, and wherein a second portion of the first tape strip is removably secured to a tape release layer to form a tab. | 12-25-2014 |
