Abstract: A component is suitable for protecting skin around an opening in the skin or around a stoma. The component can be formed from a carrier (2; 2?) that is enclosed between layers of soft and skin-compatible adhesive (3; 3?), and the adhesive has a softness of 8-22 mm. The adherence of the adhesive to dry skin can be 0.2-3 N/25 mm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a component (1) making it easier to fasten a stoma bandage (6) to skin. According to the invention, the component comprises a plastic film (2) coated with a layer (3) of a soft and skin-compatible silicone elastomer which adheres to skin. The component also has a through-opening (4) intended to be applied around a stoma.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an irrigation dressing, comprising a first body (5) of a soft, liquid-permeable material, at least one connection (8) for the supply of fluid, at least one connection (9) for the drainage of fluid, an airtight and liquid-tight covering layer (10) of flexible material, which covers said material body and extends outside the sides thereof, and an element (2, 3) for affixing the area of the covering layer that extends outside the contour of the first material body to the skin, the first material body facing the wound bed (W) when the dressing is applied. According to the invention the element (2, 3) for affixing said area to the skin includes a layer (3) of a soft, skin-friendly adhesive, which affords sealing against micro-leakage. The invention also relates to a method of applying such a dressing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a film dressing comprising a thin plastic film (2) coated with an adhesive (3). In accordance with the invention, the adhesive (3) has a softness of 10-22 mm, and the adhesive coating has a weight per unit area of 50 g/m2 or more.

Abstract: Use of one or more saccharides, for example one or more non-toxic mono-, di-, tri-, oligo- or polysaccharides, in the manufacture of a biocompatible glue for adhering a first structure to a surface of a second structure. The biocompatible glue can be adapted to act as a temporary glue. In this case the glue may be used to enable a medical structure to be transferred from a medical instrument onto the surface of a structure of a human or animal body, for example as in the transfer of a buffer material from the fork of a surgical stapler to a diseased lung after one or more rows of staples have been fired through the buffer material into the lung during lung volume reduction surgery for treating emphysema. The biocompatible glue can also to advantage be used to adhere or secure medical structures to a structure of a human or animal body direct, such as in the case of a patch being applied to the skin of a mammal.
