Abstract:
Medical dressings and medical dressing kits that can be used to proved positive pressure wound therapy. The medical dressings include one or more normally-closed valves. The medical dressing kits may further include fittings.
Abstract:
An optical system is disclosed and includes an optical sensor, a plurality of photosensitive pixels disposed on the optical sensor, a wavelength-selective optical filter in optical communication with the photosensitive pixels, the wavelength-selective optical filter being disposed remotely from the optical sensor, an area disposed in the wavelength-selective optical filter, the area having a transmission spectrum different from a transmission spectrum of a portion of the wavelength-selective optical filter not in the area and a reflector, the wavelength-selective optical filter and a measurement subject each being disposed between the reflector and the optical sensor along an optical path.

Abstract:
Absorbent medical articles include a first absorbent layer with a radio opaque element located on the surface of the first absorbent layer. The radio opaque element has at least one segment that is non-linear and has at least one vertex, the vertex defines an angle of at least 15° and less than 165°. The radio opaque element may be a continuous or discontinuous element. The absorbent medical article may include additional absorbent layers. The radio opaque element makes the absorbent medical article detectable if left inside a patient.
