Abstract:
A medical dressing comprising an absorbent adhesive layer having a pharmaceutically active agent incorporated, the non-skin-facing surface being provided with a backing layer and the skin facing surface being interrupted by a pattern of cavities. The cavities provide a storage room and distribution centre for wound exudates enabling the dressing to be applied to fast exuding wounds and at the same time allows for an increased initial release of the pharmaceutically active agent.
Abstract:
A method for production of a layered product comprising at least two layers, a first primary layer and second mouldable layer, wherein a continuous supply of a primary layer material and a supply of mouldable material, are provided, and wherein the primary layer material and the mouldable material are combined in moulding cavities, wherein the moulding cavities are placed in an endless loop, and the mouldable material and the primary layer are combined by placing the mouldable material on the primary layer above and/or in communication with the moulding cavities is a simple, cost and time efficient method for producing a layered product.
Abstract:
A dressing for covering a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, said dressing being able to adhere to the skin, the mucosa and/or a wound on a protruding portion of a living being without exposing the skin to a significant stress after application and said dressing comprising a substantially water-impervious film and a skin-friendly adhesive, which dressing has a low modulus allowing and easy deformation during application but yet a sufficiently high elasticity to essentially prevent deformation of wrinkles after application, wherein the dressing is optionally covered in part or fully by one or more release liners or cover films to be removed before or during application and wherein the dressing has the general form of a boomerang facilitates the perfect adaptation during application to cover cracks at the tip of e.g. a finger or toe at the edge of the nail.

Abstract:
A wound dressing comprising an adhesive layer having a skin-facing surface and a non-skin-facing surface, the non-skin-facing surface being provided with a backing layer, the dressing comprises a central portion comprising an absorbent adhesive, and an border portion surrounding the central portion, wherein the skin facing surface of edge portion of the adhesive layer is continuous and the skin facing surface of central portion is interrupted by interconnected cavities. The cavities provide a storage room and distribution center for wound exudates enabling the dressing to be applied to fast exuding wounds.
Abstract:
A patch for covering a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, said patch being able to adhere to the skin or mucosa,and/or a wound, said patch comprising a backing layer and a layer of a skin-friendly adhesive for adhering to the skin or mucosa, wherein said adhesive comprises hydrocolloid particles and zinc sulphate particles,wherein the ratio between the hydrocolloid particles and the zinc sulphate particles is from 4 to 22 w/w.
Abstract:
A layered product comprising an adhesive dressing allowing transfer of one or more elements, e.g. elements containing an active substance or a hydrogel, to the adhesive surface of the adhesive dressing immediately before the adhesive dressing is applied to the surface, e.g. the skin, of a living being.
Abstract:
A breast pad (10), adapted to be in contact with the breast (not shown) of a lactating woman so as to absorb spontaneously exuded milk, comprises a first liquid pervious body-contacting member (1), a second liquid impervious member (4), and an absorbing member (3) between the first and second member. The breast pad has a geometry, which can be formed to fit discreetly over the female breast when the breast nipple is disposed within the pad so that at least more than 50 % of the projected area of the absorbent member is disposed beneath the breast nipple. Improved discretion and a relatively better absorbance capacity are achieved.
