20110092871 | WOUND DRESSING - The present invention relates to a wound dressing including an outer layer of air-impermeable material and means for attaching the dressing to the skin surrounding a wound, a pre-compressed body of resilient material, said body creating a sub-pressure after attaching the dressing to a wound. According to the invention the pre-compressed body is enclosed in a casing of air-tight material, whereby at least a portion of said casing is made of a soluble material, which dissolves after contact with liquid exudate. | 04-21-2011 |
20120046625 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN A WOUND - An apparatus is disclosed for treating a wound with negative pressure. The apparatus includes a wound cover, a first pump for providing said negative pressure to the wound, a canister, a first conduit between the wound cover and the canister, a means for measuring the pressure within the canister, and a second conduit which connects the canister with the first pump. A method for controlling the negative pressure in a wound using such an apparatus is also disclosed. | 02-23-2012 |
20120136328 | WOUND PAD COMPRISING A BODY OF COMPRESSED OPEN-CELLED FOAM MATERIAL - An absorbent article, such as a wound pad, comprising a body of compressed thermoplastic or thermo-set open-celled foam is described, wherein the body has a pattern of ultrasonically made depressions in two opposite sides thereof, the depressions in the opposite sides being coaxial to each other and separated from each other by a common bottom portion which is compressed to a higher extent than the remaining parts of said body. A method for manufacturing such a body is also described. | 05-31-2012 |
20120184891 | METHOD OF ATTACHING GRIP TABS TO THE CARRIER LAYER OF A FILM DRESSING - A method is provided to attach a grip tab along an edge of a carrier layer of a film dressing web, which includes a film layer coated with adhesive on a first side and a carrier layer releasably attached to the film layer on an opposed second side. The method includes choosing a material for the carrier layer that is heat welding incompatible with the film layer, feeding the web in a machine direction, applying a first strip of a material that is heat welding compatible with the carrier layer along part of an edge portion of the web extending parallel to the machine direction, and affixing the first strip to the carrier layer while simultaneously cutting away an outermost part of the web with the first strip applied thereto by passing the web through an ultrasonic welding device. | 07-19-2012 |
20120184930 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN A WOUND - An apparatus and method are provided for treating wound with negative pressure. The apparatus includes a wound cover, a first pump for providing said negative pressure at a chosen pressure level to the wound, a canister, a first conduit between the wound cover and the canister, first means for measuring the pressure within the canister, and a second conduit which connects the canister with the first pump. A circulating pump is arranged to intermittently transport a gas volume from the canister to the wound region via a third conduit and back to the canister via the first conduit in order to press out possible exudates from the first conduit to the canister. A second means analyzes the pressure curve over time of said pressure in the canister and a third means indicates by alarm when said pressure curve differs from a normal cyclical form. | 07-19-2012 |
20120323193 | OSTOMY DEVICE - An ostomy device is provided including an ostomy pouch having an entrance opening, a body attachment wafer having a through-going opening and a coupling layer, which couples the pouch to the body attachment wafer and has a central opening therein. The body attachment wafer includes a plastic film, which is coated with a layer of skin friendly adhesive on the side thereof distal to the ostomy pouch. The coupling layer is affixed to the body attachment wafer along an attachment line extending around the central opening in the coupling layer, the attachment line being distanced from the central opening in the coupling layer. The region around the entrance opening of the pouch is affixed to the coupling layer in a landing zone located between the attachment line and the opening in the body attachment wafer. | 12-20-2012 |
