Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a wound care device for treatment of wounds by means of subatmospheric pressure in the wound region, having a wound covering element, a device for generating subatmospheric pressure, which can optionally be placed on the wound covering element, and an absorption body taking up wound exudations.

Abstract: A wound care device for the treatment of wounds is disclosed by means of atmospheric negative pressure in the wound region, including a wound-covering element that can be attached to the skin of a patient as well as a connection device for the suctioning of fluid media, wherein the wound-covering element includes a window that can be opened, which window is arranged on the wound-covering element by means of a gas-tight closure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wound care article relates having at least one flat layer consisting of a woven fabric or nonwoven comprising superabsorbent fibers and superabsorbent particles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid-permeable primary dressing in strip form, having pores, perforations or honeycomb lattices, which enable the passage of fluid, further having a coating of a material comprising silicone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flat wound care article having an essentially polygonal or ellipsoid base surface and at least one recess arranged on one side.

Abstract: The invention relates to an absorbent article for application to human or animal skin surfaces in the region of wounds, consisting of an outer covering (2) which is permeable for liquid substances, and of an inner layer (1) which is surrounded by the covering (2) and which consists essentially of a mixture of an amount of strongly osmotically active substances with an amount of osmotically comparatively weak or osmotically inactive substances, such as cellulose. The inner layer (1) is filled with osmotically active substances in such a way that it is possible to exert on a wound, with the wound fluids contained therein, an osmotic pressure via which the wound fluid can be removed from the organism to be treated, and thus it is possible to assist both in the surfaced wound region and in the depth of the tissue a normal interstitial hydration of tissue by directing endogenous fluids in their direction of flow to the patient's skin surface into the absorbent article, and keeping them there.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wound-covering article (10) having a film-like element (11) of reduced gas permeability, wherein said film-like element has a preparation (12) for attachment of a vacuum device.

Abstract: An absorbent article that includes an outer covering made of two liquid-permeable cover layers that are joined together to form a pocket, and an inner layer that is initially freely movable within the pocket. The inner layer includes a mixture of particles of a superabsorbent polymer and substances that are osmotically comparatively weaker than the particles. When the absorbent article is applied to a human or animal skin surface to cover a wound, the absorbent article exerts an osmotic pressure via which endogenous wound exudate is removed from the wound. Thus, the absorbent article assists, both in a surface region and in a tissue depth, a normal interstitial hydration of the tissue by directing the wound fluids in a direction of flow to the skin surface and into the absorbent article, and by keeping the wound fluids that flow to the skin surface in the absorbent article.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a wound care article for extraction and control of wound fluids, comprising at least one first fluid-absorbing structure (1; 10; 36), which is surrounded by a liquid-permeable, first enclosure (2), and a liquid-permeable, second enclosure (3) comprising two enclosing surfaces (13.1, 13.2). The wound care article is thus characterized in that the first enclosure (2) is covered or supported on at least one of its flat sides (4.1, 4.2) by at least one fluid-absorbing material layer (6.1, 6.2; 6.3), which is arranged (FIG. 1a) between the first enclosure (2) and one of the enclosing surfaces (13.1, 13.2) of the second enclosure (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a wound care article (100; 200; 300; 400; 500) comprising at least one body (1; 11; 21) absorbing the liquid wound exudates, and at least one shell (2; 12; 22) at least partially encompassing the body (1; 11; 21). The shell (2; 12; 22) itself is designed to absorb fluids.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wound care article relates having at least one flat layer consisting of a woven fabric or nonwoven comprising superabsorbent fibers and superabsorbent particles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flat wound care article having an essentially polygonal or ellipsoid base surface and at least one recess arranged on one side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing the skin or wound compatibility of a hygiene or wound care product, which has a cellulose nonwoven fabric and which is present in the form of a web, or of a precursor product of said hygiene or wound care product. The product is stretched and deviated in at least one direction in such manner that the cohesion of fibers or flakes of the cellulose nonwoven fabric is weakened, reduced, disrupted, or broken down at least in some sections.

Abstract: A wound care device for the treatment of wounds is disclosed by means of atmospheric negative pressure in the wound region, including a wound-covering element that can be attached to the skin of a patient as well as a connection device for the suctioning of fluid media, wherein the wound-covering element includes a window that can be opened, which window is arranged on the wound-covering element by means of a gas-tight closure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wound treatment device with at least one elastically deformable vacuum-generating element which can be actuated directly by hand and which is arranged on and connected directly to a film-like wound-covering element that covers the wound chamber. The vacuum-generating element is a hollow body whose cavity, in the state with the device applied to the patient's body, communicates directly with the wound chamber via an opening formed on the wound-covering element. At least one absorption body that absorbs the wound secretions is positioned in the wound chamber and is surrounded by a finely porous sleeve that is permeable to liquid. The hollow body is provided with at least one valve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid-permeable primary dressing in strip form, having pores, perforations or honeycomb lattices, which enable the passage of fluid, further having a coating of a material comprising silicone (FIG. 1).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing at least one nutritive, at least one disinfecting or decontaminating and/or at least one protease-inhibiting active compound and/or active compound complex for the external care and/or treatment of wounds of the human or animal body.
