| 20110319787 | INTERFACE PRESSURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM - The subject matter of the present invention is a system for measuring interface pressure exerted on the skin, that is in particular of use in compression therapy, characterized in that it comprises:—a supporting member bearing sensors, including at least two pressure sensors spaced out on the supporting member in order to make it possible to measure the pressure exerted at two predetermined positions;—an electronic system connected to the sensors and capable of acquiring the values simultaneously measured by these sensors; and in that each pressure sensor comprises a transducer element, which is preferably substantially flat, said transducer element having a surface intended to come into contact with the skin in the operating position, either directly or by means of a layer of a material covering said surface of the transducer, the elastic modulus of compression of said transducer or of said intermediate layer, measured at the surface intended to come into contact with the skin, being between 30 and 500 kPa, preferably between 80 and 400 kPa and more preferably between 200 and 400 kPa. Use: compression therapy. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20110126972 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING DRESSINGS CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE ACTIVE INGREDIENT - The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing dressings, preferably with thinner edges. According to the invention, this method comprises the steps of a) forming a first laminated element by securing together a backing film ( | 06-02-2011 |
| 20100285129 | NOVEL AGENT FOR SALTING OUT ACTIVE PRINCIPLES IN DRESSINGS CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE OF FATTY SUBSTANCE - The present invention relates to the use, as an agent for salting out an active substance in a composition for a dressing, of a copolymer of a salt of 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulphonic acid and the 2-hydroxyethyl ester of propenoic acid. It also relates to dressings of the type comprising at least one fatty substance and/or an elastomeric matrix and at least one active substance, which incorporate the aforementioned copolymer. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100204174 | NOVEL ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN CICATRIZATION AND USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to the use of a known compound as an agent for promoting and/or accelerating fibroblast proliferation and/or differentiation and, consequently, cicatrization. This compound is a copolymer of a 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulphonic acid salt and of propenoic acid 2-hydroxyethyl ester. It may be used alone or in combination with other active substances for inducing or accelerating cicatrization. This compound, alone or in combination with another active substance, may be administered directly on the wound and the surrounding area or the mucous membranes, by topical application. It may also be used ex vivo, in particular for generating cells for skin grafts. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100056971 | NOVEL PROTECTOR FOR DRESSINGS - The present invention provides a dressing-protector system of the type comprising: a dressing incorporating at least one fatty substance and having a first face intended to come into contact with skin or a wound and a second face opposite the first; and a protector that can be separated from said dressing. According to the invention, said protector is constituted by a single sheet that completely covers said second face and has flaps folded down over said first face in order to cover it substantially entirely. Application: treatment of skin and wounds. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20090112145 | NOVEL SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF DISEASES OF THE VEINS - The present invention relates to a support system particularly intended for treatment and prevention of diseases of venous origin, characterized in that it comprises a first support layer, which is composed of an elastic band attached across its entire surface to an absorbent layer, and a second support layer, which is a self-adhesive elastic band. This support system has a dynamic coefficient of elasticity of between 5 and 55 Newton/cm. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20080312574 | Dressing Provided With a Thin Film Applicator - The present invention provides a novel system for applying dressings, said dressings comprising a thin film ( | 12-18-2008 |
