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 invention relates to a liquid-permeable primary dressing in the form of a supple thermoplastic section of material (1.4), comprising: a first smooth surface (4); a second surface (5) facing away from the smooth surface (4); and a plurality of three-dimensional perforations, whose walls extend from the first smooth surface (4) and end in an overhang with a free edge, thus making the second surface (5) rough to the touch. At least one of the free edges has an angled section that is approximately perpendicular to a perforation axis. In a preferred embodiment, the periphery (13) of the material section is smooth on both sides, i.e. on both the first and second surfaces (4; 5), the periphery (13) of the surface (5) that was at first rough being thermally smoothed.

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: What is provided is a collection device for use in a drainage device for treating wounds using negative pressure, wherein said collection device is provided entirely or partially with at least one insert containing liquid-absorbing polymers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wound treatment item having a proportion of modified natural fibers or synthetic fibers with a high dehydrating capacity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wound care article having at least one flat layer that contains an absorbent material. Said article is characterised in that it is equipped with at least one other active element that gives the wound care article a convex or pyramidal shape (when viewed from the side).

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-component dressing (100) for treating wounds of the human or animal body using a reduced pressure, having a wound-covering element (4) for mounting the dressing (100) at the surface of the skin and the mucous membrane and at least one connecting site (5), which is in contact with the wound space (10) and over which the materials in the wound space (10) can be evacuated. The multi-component dressing has super-absorbing polymers, the absorbed wound secretions remaining bound to polymers in the wound space until the latter are removed from the wound space and the polymers, due to their binding capacity, supporting reciprocal synergies with the sub-atmospheric pressures. Wound exudate, promoted by the reduced pressure, is also stored and controlled by polymerized granulates.

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: A device for treating wounds using a vacuum and having a gas-tight wound-covering element, which, when placed in contact with the body of the patient, forms a wound space between the respective wound and the wound-covering element. The device includes an absorption body, which is a layer, enclosed in an envelope, of a textile section, interspersed with super-absorbing particles. The liquid-permeable envelope has pores, the size of which does not exceed that of the super-absorbing particles. The absorption body, inserted in the wound space, has an initial volume, which enlarges in the course of the absorption process, and a final volume, so that, due to the size of the pores of the envelope, the absorbed wound secretions remain within the absorption body and, with that, below the wound-covering element, until the absorption body is removed from the wound space.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a wound care article exhibiting a quantity of super-absorbent polymers. The wound care article is characterized in that characterized in that it exhibits at least one agent which can restrict the bleeding or the tendency to bleed. In the process it can be a chemically and/or pharmacologically and/or physiologically acting active ingredient or active ingredient complex.
