Abstract: The present invention is a scar-reducing plaster and a method for preparing scar-reducing plasters. The scar-reducing plasters comprise a backing film comprising an air- and water vapor-pervious and water-impervious polymer layer, and a breathable and adhesive polyurethane xerogel matrix layer that coats the backing film. The polyurethane xerogel matrix layer includes a central scar contact region and an edge region, wherein the scar contact region merges with the edge region and the thickness of the edge region decreases from the scar contact region to a thickness of from 5 to 150 ?m at the edge of the polyurethane xerogel matrix layer. The scar-reducing plasters of the present invention have a reduced tendency to peel off during normal use.

Abstract: A skin or wound contact material which comprises a polycondensate matrix and a water-absorbing polymer incorporated therein. The water-absorbing polymer is doped with a wound healing promoter substance and/or a skin care substance.

Abstract: An antimicrobial polymeric composite for use in wound management products. The composite comprises a polymeric material which is suitable for prolonged direct contact with a wound. At least a part of the polymeric material is associated with a glass which comprises an antimicrobial element M, preferably silver. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: A dressing especially for covering wounds or preventing or treating blisters, comprising a water vapor pervious carrier film uniformly covered with an adhesive layer, wherein there is centrally disposed on the adhesive layer a water vapor pervious polyurethane matrix which is beveled from an especially central point to the edge of the adhesive layer, although the periphery of the adhesive layer is at least partially not covered by the polyurethane matrix.
