Abstract: Described is a medical dressing for application onto a body part, wherein the medical dressing has a longitudinal (y) extension and a lateral (x) extension and is symmetric about a longitudinal (y) center line and asymmetric about a lateral (x) center line. The dressing has at least a first, centrally disposed release liner comprising at least one graphical icon indicating a correct application of the medical dressing onto the body part. Also described is a method for manufacturing the medical dressing, to a sterile package that includes the medical dressing and to a multi-pack that includes a plurality of the sterile packages.

Abstract: Described is a method of mitigating and/or preventing the onset of a pressure ulcer at an area of risk of developing a pressure ulcer, which includes the step of: a) applying a medical dressing to intact skin of a subject at the area of risk of developing the pressure ulcer, thereby mitigating and/or preventing the onset of the pressure ulcer, wherein the medical dressing has a gel pad arranged between a backing layer and an adhesive body contact layer, wherein a gel of the gel pad has a compressive strength of from 5 to 60 kPa at a strain of 50%, as measured according to a compression test.

Abstract: A medical dressing is described for prevention of pressure ulcers. The dressing has a gel pad and an anisotropic layer being stiffer in one layer direction. The dressing reduces the shear and compression forces on the skin and in the underlying the soft tissue layers and prevents the onset of pressure ulcers.

Abstract: Described is a medical dressing for use in conjunction with a medical device. The dressing has an outer layer provided with a plurality of guiding lines indicating how to cut the dressing into a plurality of shaped dressing pieces. The dressing pieces are adapted to fit and to be used in conjunction with a variety of medical devices. Also described is a kit that includes the described medical dressing.

Abstract: A medical dressing for prevention of pressure ulcers is described. The dressing has a backing layer, a pad, and a body contact layer, wherein the pad is arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer. The body contact layer has an adhesive skin contact layer and an anisotropic layer having a first (x) direction and a second (y) direction perpendicular to the first (x) direction. The anisotropic layer is stiffer in the second (y) direction than in the first (x) direction. The dressing reduces shear and compression forces on the skin and in the underlying soft tissue layers and prevents the onset of pressure ulcers.

Abstract: A fluid container for holding a fluid, specifically adapted for improved user handling by reducing the risk of fluid spillage in combination with easy extraction of the fluid comprised in the container. The present disclosure also relates to a fluid container system.

Abstract: A medical dressing for application to a surface of a human body is described. The medical dressing has a first direction (x) of extension and a second direction (y) of extension being perpendicular to the first direction (x) of extension. The medical dressing has at least a first and a second anisotropic layer having anisotropic stiffness, wherein the stiffness of each one of the first and the second anisotropic layer is higher in the second direction (y) of extension than in the first direction (x) of extension.

Abstract: Described is a patient transfer mattress for lifting and transferring patients. The patient transfer mattress can be used in a gentle and pressure ulcer preventative approach. Also described is a method for lifting and/or transferring a patient using a patient transfer mattress.

Abstract: A medical dressing, specifically adapted to comprise a machine-readable tag for allowing efficient and safe inspection during use of the medical dressing is described. A medical dressing arrangement and to a computer implemented inspection method applied in conjunction with the medical dressing is also described.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a fluid container (100) for holding a fluid, specifically adapted for improved user handling by reducing the risk of fluid spillage in combination with easy extraction of the fluid comprised in the container (100). The fluid container (100) comprises a flap portion (110), which in its down-folded state allows for a predetermined amount of liquid to be stored in the container without the risk of leakage, and which flap-portion (110) in its up-folded state allows for easy extraction of fluid from the container (100). The present disclosure also relates to a fluid container system.

Abstract: A medical dressing is described for prevention of pressure ulcers. The dressing has a gel pad having a low compressive strength; i.e. from 5 kPa to 60 kPa at a strain of 50%, as measured by the compression test described herein. The dressing reduces the shear and compression forces on the skin and in the underlying the soft tissue layers and prevents or mitigates the onset of pressure ulcers.
