Abstract: A self-adhesive compression bandage, in particular for the treatment and prevention of pathologies of venous origin and lymphedema. This bandage is manufactured by the assembling of two self-adhesive nonwovens based on short conjugate fibers which have been crimped. The fibers are preferably made of polyester. The bandage can in addition comprise a supplementary layer.

Abstract: A compression bandage formed by the assembling of a nonwoven based on short conjugate fibers which have been crimped and of a nonelastic material. The compression bandage can be used in a bilayer compression system, in particular for the prevention or treatment of venous pathologies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a therapeutic compound comprising: an agent that inhibits the activity of at least one gene selected from the group consisting of HIC1, FOXS1, CREB5, IRF7, POU2F2, STAT4, TCF4, and/or an agent that enhances the activity of at least one gene selected from the group consisting of MAF, MEOX2, SIX2.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for dermatologic treatment comprising an energy source for activating a biochemical healing effect and at least one bandage meant to be placed on or near the area being treated before applying the activation step using the said energy source characterized in that the bandage comprises an identification means (4, 5, 10, 11) interacting with a sensor controlling the functioning of the energy source.

Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a composite wound packing material comprising a casing enclosing a material, or an assembly of materials, forming fluid flow channels, said casing being composed of a nonwoven material formed from a mixture of bicomponent superabsorbent fibers and non-absorbent thermal bonding fibers, said bicomponent superabsorbent fibers being of core/shell type, said core being made of polyacrylonitrile and the shell being made of polyacrylate.

Abstract: An article having physiological-fluid absorption properties, including a liquid collection zone and a transfer structure, the latter including absorbent fibers and being designed to transport the liquid from said collection zone toward at least one retention and/or evaporation zone, said transfer structure having a cross section that increases in the direction of said retention and/or evaporation zone, over at least part of the path separating said collection zone from said retention and/or evaporation zone.

Abstract: An article to be applied against the skin, mucous membranes or a wound, in order to absorb a liquid, such as an exudate, the article including: a distal absorbent layer; one or more visual indicators that change appearance upon contact with the liquid, the visual indicator(s) being in contact with the distal absorbent layer; an interface intended to come into contact with the skin or mucous membranes; at least one proximal absorbent layer located adjacent to the interface between the interface and the distal absorbent layer; and at least one layer forming a water barrier located between the proximal absorbent layer and the distal absorbent layer and provided with at least one passage through which the liquid that has passed through the proximal absorbent layer can reach the distal absorbent layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (20) for applying an interface dressing, including an interface dressing (22) which includes a first contact surface (24) and a second contact surface (28), the first contact surface (24) being suitable for being applied in contact with the skin or with a wound of a patient, a pealable application tab (32, 54) of the interface dressing (22), the application tab (32, 54) being arranged against the second contact surface (28), a portion (34, 6) for gripping the application tab (32), extending beyond the second contact surface (28), and a first pealable protector (26) and second pealable protector (30) arranged against the first contact surface (24) and against the second contact surface (28), respectively, the second protector (30) being pealable independently of the application tab (32). The invention also relates to a method for applying such an interface dressing on a patient.
