Abstract: A method of preparing an occlusive wound dressing involves preparing a slurry of an occlusive composition with a hydrophobic compound and a bacteriostatic agent, applying the occlusive composition on a fabric to produce a coated fabric, disposing the coated fabric in packaging, adding water onto at least one of the coated fabric and the packaging, sealing the packaging containing the coated fabric, and irradiating the sealed package to sterilize and produce the occlusive wound dressing. The occlusive wound dressing has from about 60 wt % to about 75 wt % hydrophobic compound, from about 2 wt % to about 5 wt % bacteriostatic agent, from about 2 wt % to about 5 wt % water, and from about 5 wt % to about 36 wt % fabric.

Abstract: Example absorbent articles including a non-adherent member comprising a polyester, a substrate adjacent the non-adherent member, and an absorbent member disposed between the non-adherent member and the substrate are disclosed. The non-adherent member defines a plurality of perforations extending through a thickness of the non-adherent member. Example techniques for forming example articles are disclosed.

Abstract: A wound dressing comprising a substrate comprising a plurality of fibers, at least one antimicrobial agent in the substrate, and an oil emulsion on at least a portion of the substrate is disclosed. The at least one antimicrobial agent can be polyhexamethylene biguanide, and the oil emulsion can consist essentially of a petrolatum in a range of from about 75 wt % to about 90 wt % of the oil emulsion, a mineral oil in a range of from about 10 wt % to about 20 wt % of the oil emulsion, water in a range of from about 0.1 wt % to about 1 wt % of the oil emulsion, and at least one surfactant in a range of from about 1 wt % to about 5 wt % of the oil emulsion.
