  • Patent number: 10286127
    Abstract: A wound dressing system having a capillary membrane system arranged in a pouch-shaped wound dressing that is closed at its outer edge. The pouch-shaped wound dressing having an upper face, a lower face, and an interior formed from planar materials with the lower face permeable to fluids. The capillary membrane system is arranged into the interior of the pouch-shaped wound dressing.

  • Publication number: 20160289626
    Abstract: An apparatus for growing and/or examining cells, comprising the arrangement of at least one bowl-shaped culture dish having a base and a side wall, and an interior which is bounded by the base and side wall and has an opening at the top end, characterized in that—at least one sheet-like capillary membrane system composed of at least one capillary membrane is disposed in the interior of the culture dish,—wherein the at least one capillary membrane has a semipermeable wall, a lumen which is enclosed by the wall and has at least one open end and has a fluid connection via its open end to a supply line having a wall and a lumen, such that liquids, media, gases and/or other substances can be passed through the supply line and the capillary membrane system,—wherein the capillary membrane system is disposed in the region of the base of the respective culture dish and its areal extent is limited by the side wall of the culture dish and—wherein the at least one supply line leads out of the interior through the opening

  • Publication number: 20160287446
    Abstract: Wound care system comprising a single-layer arrangement of mutually parallel capillary membranes with a porous, semi-permeable wall, a lumen and at least one open end, wherein the capillary membranes have an external diameter in the range of 50 to 500 ?m and a wall thickness in the range of 5 to 1000 ?m and, with their open end, are fluidically connected to a common supply line with a wall and a lumen, characterized in that the capillary membranes are connected to one another by means of connection elements to form a mat and are held at a distance from one another by the connection elements, in that the capillary membranes are embedded with their open end so fluid-tightly in the wall of the common supply line that a fluid connection is obtained between the lumen of the supply line and the lumen of the capillary membranes, in that the distance of the capillary membranes from one another in the mat is 1 to 10 times the external diameter of the capillary membranes, and in that the distance of the connection elem

  • Publication number: 20160279306
    Abstract: Wound dressing system for introduction into a wound, comprising at least one planar capillary membrane system, characterized in that the at least one planar capillary membrane system is arranged in a pouch-shaped wound dressing which is closed at its outer edge and which has an upper face, a lower face and a interior of the pouch, wherein the lower face and the upper face are each formed from a planar material, and the lower face is permeable to fluids, wherein the at least one planar capillary membrane system is arranged in the interior of the pouch and is connected to at least one supply line, such that liquids, media, gases and/or other substances can be conveyed through the supply line and the at least one capillary membrane system, and wherein the at least one supply line is connectable, outside the pouch-shaped wound dressing, to a unit for supply or disposal.
