Patent number: 8455710Abstract: Wound treatment dressings comprising combinations of at least one conductive layer, at least one absorbent layer or a moisture regulation layer, and methods of making and methods of use are disclosed for treatment of wounds in humans and animals. The novel dressings aid in healing by helping restore the transepithelial potential of the skin, providing a functional anti-microbial barrier, and allowing for regulation of the moisture content of the wound without disturbing the wound.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2003Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Argentum Medical, LLCInventor: A.

Patent number: 8093444Abstract: A dressing for promoting healing and pain relief of the body of a living organism having a pathologic condition has at least one layer of conductive material having a resistance no greater than 1000 ?/cm2. When placed proximate a portion of the body of the living organism suffering from the pathologic condition, the dressing alters the electrodynamic processes occurring in conjunction with said pathologic condition to promote healing and pain relief in the living organism. When used as a wound dressing, the conductive material is placed in contact with tissue around the periphery of the wound and with the wound, lowering the electrical potential and resistance of the wound and increasing the wound current.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2007Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Argentum Medical, LLCInventor: A.

Patent number: 6087549Abstract: A multilayer laminate wound dressing comprising a plurality of layers of preferably silver or silver-coated fibers in a woven fabric alternating with layers of nonconductive, preferably nonmetallic, fabric. Each layer preferably contains a different ratio of metalized to nonmetalized fibers. The metalized fibers are preferably made of or coated with silver. The dressing promotes healing by stimulating cellular de-differetiation, followed by cellular proliferation. The dressing also has antibacterial, antifungal and analgesic properties.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1997Date of Patent: July 11, 2000Assignee: Argentum InternationalInventor: A. Bart Flick
