Abstract: A urinary catheter assembly includes a urinary catheter sealed inside of a closed package. The urinary catheter has a first closure sealing a proximal opening and including a first extension portion that is coupled to the closed package, and a second closure sealing a distal opening and including a second extension portion coupled to the closed package.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a urinary catheter assembly comprising an outer package of gas-impermeable material and an intermittent urinary catheter arranged inside the outer package. The catheter comprises a proximal insertion end, a distal connection end, and a connector at the distal end. The connector defines a distal opening. The catheter assembly further comprises a sleeve of liquid-impermeable material configured to define at least part of a liquid tight enclosure. The enclosure encloses the insertable part of the catheter. The enclosure is closed by a first closure in the proximal end and a second closure in the distal end. The second closure is configured to be opened as the outer package is opened and the first closure is configured to be opened as the catheter and sleeve is removed from the outer package.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a ureteral stent (10) having a body (11) and a tail (12). The body (11) of the stent has a renal section (13) intended to be placed in a kidney (R) of a patient, a ureteral section (14) intended to be placed in at least part of a ureter of said patient, and a proximal section (15) arranged at a proximal end of the body of the stent. The tail (12) has at least one thread (16) intended to end in the bladder (V) of said patient. This stent is characterized in that said proximal section (15) has a flexibility greater than the flexibility of the ureteral a section (14) of the stent. The tail (12) is integral with said ureteral section and/or said proximal section (15) and extends beyond the proximal section (15).

Abstract: Disclosed is a ureteral stent having a body and a tail. The body of the stent has a renal section intended to be placed in a kidney of a patient, a ureteral section intended to be placed in at least part of a ureter of the patient, and a proximal section arranged at a proximal end of the body of the stent. The tail has at least one thread intended to end in the bladder of the patient. The proximal section (16) has a flexibility greater than the flexibility of the ureteral area of the stent.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive composition comprising hydrophilic silicone elastomers and hydrophobic silicone elastomers and optionally water absorbent material, wherein the ratio between the hydrophilic silicone elastomers and the hydrophobic silicone elastomers is from 95:5 to 5:95. The adhesive is suited for medical use due to its skin-friendliness. The invention further relates to a medical device comprising said adhesive composition.

Abstract: A wound dressing, said dressing comprising: a backing layer on the non-skin-facing surface of the dressing, an adhesive laminate on the skin-facing surface of the dressing, said laminate comprising d) a first discontinuous acrylate-based adhesive layer distal to the skin e) a support layer f) a second continuous silicone-based adhesive layer, proximal to the skin an absorbent foam layer, said foam layer is located between the backing layer and the adhesive laminate and the foam layer is attached to the backing layer and the adhesive laminate comprises an central aperture.

Abstract: A skin plate product is provided, which can be better tailored with respect to controlling the properties of the first and second surfaces by cutting holes in an adhesive matrix with a laser and subsequently filling these holes with a second material. Preferably at least one zone of the second material extends from the top surface to the bottom surface of the adhesive, with an exposed part of the second material at the top surface having a different pattern than an exposed part of the second material at the bottom surface. The zones are formed as bodies of frustums of cones having their basis at the same surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing two different patterned adhesive layers simultaneously, and a wound dressing comprising both the adhesive layers.

Abstract: A wound dressing comprising a backing layer and an absorbent layer, wherein the absorbent layer comprises a wound facing surface and a non-wound facing surface, said absorbent layer comprises discrete foam pads covering at least 50% of the wound facing surface of the absorbent layer and wherein the non-wound facing surface of the foam pads are attached to the backing layer. The structure of the dressing renders it possible for the foam to expand during wetting without changing the external dimensions of the absorbent layer substantially.

Abstract: The invention relates to use of at least one of the compounds EPI-HNE 1, EPI-HNE 2, EPI-HNE 3 or EPI-HNE 4 for the manufacture of a medicament for treatment of chronic wounds or burns. The EPI-HNE 1-4 compounds are e.g. suitable for incorporation into a wound care device, such as a dressing.

Abstract: Provide is a skin plate product, which can be better tailored with respect to controlling the properties of the first and second surfaces. This is obtained by cutting holes in an adhesive matrix with a laser and subsequently filling these holes with a second material. Being able to design the exact location, orientation, distribution and/or size of the second material opens the path for adhesive products where e.g. adhesion, absorption, and permeability are controlled and balanced.
