20080255492 | Absorbent Fiber Material and Use Thereof in Wound Dressings - An absorbent fibrous material comprising fibres prepared by melt spinning, solvent spinning, dry spinning or electro spinning of a polymer composition having a water absorption capacity of at least 10 g/g polymer composition and comprising a thermoplastic hydrophilic block copolymer as well as wound dressings comprising such absorbent fibrous material. | 10-16-2008 |
20090076431 | Bevelled Foam - The invention relates to a foam dressing with a bevelled edge and where the density at the edge is higher than the density at the central part of the foam. The high density at the edges causes gel blocking of the wound exudate thereby preventing leakage of exudate through the edges. In a preferred embodiment the foam dressing is non-adhesive. The foam dressing may have a water-impervious backing layer, which extends all the way over the top of the dressing and down to the wound-contacting surface. The wound dressing is particularly useful in treatment of venous ulcers in connection with compression bandages, as the bevelling of the edges markedly reduces the indentations in the leg following use of this dressing when compared to a dressing with straight edges. | 03-19-2009 |
20090270827 | Dressing - A wound dressing comprising a backing layer and an absorbent layer, wherein the absorbent layer comprises a wound facing surface and a non-wound facing surface, said absorbent layer comprises discrete foam pads covering at least 50% of the wound facing surface of the absorbent layer and wherein the non-wound facing surface of the foam pads are attached to the backing layer. The structure of the dressing renders it possible for the foam to expand during wetting without changing the external dimensions of the absorbent layer substantially. | 10-29-2009 |
20090280154 | Biodegradable Scaffold with ECM Material - We add discontinuous regions of Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) to a biodegradable scaffold. Hereby it is possible to combine the range of physical properties the scaffold can offer with the reconstructive properties of the ECM. The optimal amount of discrete ECM material for each application is disclosed and this concentration is equally distributed in the dressing hence avoiding unnecessary high concentrations of ECM. In addition to the effect of the ECM, the porous structure of the base material provides the cells with a structure for in-growth. | 11-12-2009 |

20090005746 | Suction System - A suction system for removal of exudate from a wound comprises a wound cover which is attachable to a wound circumference of a living being thereby to form an enclosure, and a pump in fluid communication with the enclosure to provide a pressure difference between a negative pressure in the enclosure and an air pressure of an ambient space. A deflectable member is arranged such with respect to the enclosure that the pressure difference may cause deflection of the deflectable member, and a pressure sensing device is located outside the enclosure and arranged to provide a signal in response to the pressure or the deflection of the deflectable member. The deflectable member forms an essentially air tight barrier between the sensor and the enclosure. | 01-01-2009 |
20090012484 | Pump and System for Treatment of a Wound - A pump for pumping fluid matter from a treatment site in or on a living being comprises three compartments. A motor-driven pumping element is provided for generating a negative pressure within a wound cover at or near the treatment site, and a motor for providing a driving force to the pumping element is provided in the a first one of the compartments. The pumping element is comprised in a second compartment, and a container for collecting liquid pumped from the treatment site is comprised or integrated in a third compartment. The second compartment is detachably connected to the first and/or third compartment, and the third compartment is detachably connected to the first and/or the second compartment. | 01-08-2009 |
20090036873 | Device, Pump and System for Stimulating the Healing of a Wound - A device for stimulating the healing of a wound comprises a separating means having a fluid inlet and a gas outlet. The separating means may constitute a collecting container for collecting fluid pumped from the wound. A pump for applying negative pressure comprises pump head and a drive unit. The pump head is connected to the gas outlet of the separating means, and the pump head is detachably attached to the drive unit, so that in use the fluid inlet of the separating means is connected to a wound cover, e.g. via a conduit. | 02-05-2009 |
20090047322 | Degradable Hydrophilic Block Copolymers with Improved Biocompatibility for Soft Tissue Regeneration - The present application discloses biodegradable polymers, to porous and other materials comprising such polymers, and to various medical uses of such materials, including use as a scaffold for supporting cell adhesion or the in-growth for regeneration of tissue. The polymer is of the formula A—O—(CHR | 02-19-2009 |
20090137937 | Absorbent dressing - An absorbent wound care device comprising a layer of an absorbent material, said layer having a wound contacting surface, wherein the wound contacting surface is provided with a wound contacting layer in the form of a layer of an elastic material in the form of fibre threads forming a uniform layer of intersecting fibre threads covering at least a part of the surface of the absorbent material provides a non/low-adhesive flexible, highly absorbent wound dressing being capable of absorbing large amounts of wound exudates without giving rise to gel blocking and/or maceration, pressure marks nor leaving residues of the dressing in the wound and does not cause damage to fragile skin when removing the dressing and allows for easy access for wound exudates and slough to an absorbent layer, which ensures a fast initial absorption of an absorbing dressing. | 05-28-2009 |
20090156974 | Absorbent wound care device - An absorbent wound care device comprising a wound contacting layer comprising an absorbent non-woven bi-component staple fibre material, said staple fibre material comprising fibres having at least one outside portion of highly hydrophilic material and least one inner core of a low-absorbing material, wherein the staple fibre material comprising fibres having at least one outside portion of highly hydrophilic material and least one inner core of a low-absorbing material constitutes above 50% of the fibrous material and wherein the absorbent material consists of mechanically intertwined fibres enables the use of an absorbent material comprising only fibres having at least one outside portion of highly hydrophilic material without having to rely on the presence of wicking fibres, which material is capable of absorbing liquid parts and slough from wound exudates without giving rise to gel blocking and also reduces of the risk of maceration due to wicking of moisture laterally in the plane of the wound to the neighbouring skin. | 06-18-2009 |
20140328816 | PACKAGED PROBIOTIC COMPOSITION AND USES THEREOF - The present invention relates to a packaged probiotic composition which is useful for treating or preventing bacterial colonisation in wounds and tissue. A characteristic feature of the invention is that the probiotic composition contains a probiotic microorganism which is in direct contact with water during storage of the probiotic composition. The invention furthermore pertains to methods of using and producing the probiotic composition. | 11-06-2014 |
