Abstract: Trimmable conformable wound dressings, kits containing the same and methods of using the same. The wound dressings may protect a treatment site from microbial contamination or other disturbances while a wound heals or to enable the application and maintenance of vacuum over the treatment site. The wound dressings may include first and second sections of support layer material on opposite sides of one or more intermediate sections of support layer material. The first and second sections of support layer material meet the intermediate sections of support layer material along peel tab junctions that provide peel tabs.

Abstract: The disclosed film backing has a multilayer extensible substrate with a securing adhesive that can secure to a surface and a tab to stretch the extensible substrate to remove the securing adhesive from the underlying surface. Stretching the extensible substrate will easily release the adhesive from the underlying surface. Therefore, a strong adhesive can be used. The multilayer extensible substrate includes an elastic layer forming the core adjacent to a plastically-deforming layers forming the skin to minimize the elasticity of the overall construction.

Abstract: The disclosed tape system comprises a first tape and second tape each with an adhesive that interact to secure a device such as tubing. The first tape and second tape each have a longitudinally extending midsection and laterally extending legs. The first tape overlaps the device, while the second tape is under the device, but with the legs of the second tape overlapping the legs of the first tape. This overlapping connection of the first tape and second tape strongly secures the tubing.

Abstract: The disclosed securement tape strip comprises a tape having a midsection, a stabilizing section, and a wrapping strip. The tape strip has an adhesive along the midsection to adhere the tape strip to a substrate. The wrapping strip can include an adhesive for wrapping the wrapping strip around a device to hold the device securely in place on the substrate. The tape strip can include a perforation set along the midsection. The perforation set can be useful in removal of the tape.

Abstract: A medical dressing for securing a tubiform component of a medical device is provided. The dressing includes a body having first and second major surfaces, a first flap, a first lateral extension extending in a first direction away from the first flap and a second lateral extension extending in a second direction, opposite the first direction, away from the first flap. The dressing further comprises an adhesive disposed on the second major surface of the first flap, the first lateral extension, and the second lateral extension. Optionally, the medical dressing further comprises a second flap, a third lateral extension extending in a third direction away from the second flap, and a fourth lateral extension extending in a fourth direction opposite the third direction, away from the second flap.

Abstract: The disclosed tube securement device (100) is adjustable in size to fit varying sizes and shapes of a part of the body. The tube securement device (100) comprises a backing (110) forming a first end section (120), a second end section (130), and a midsection (140). A first adhesive (122) is on at least a portion of the first major surface (112) of the first end section (120). A second adhesive (132) is on at least a portion the second end section (130). A first perforation line (123) is through the first end section (120) to form a first removable portion (124). In use, the first removable portion (124) can be separated from the first end section (120).

Abstract: Medical articles comprising a conformable wound dressing and delivery system. The wound dressing generally comprises a backing having a first major surface and a second major surface, an adhesive on the second major surface of the backing, and an absorbent pad proximate the second major surface of the backing. The backing extends beyond the perimeter of the absorbent pad, typically beyond the entire perimeter of the pad. The perimeter of the wound dressing has a concave feature that exhibits a local minimum. An axis extends from the local minimum to the perimeter of the wound dressing opposite the local minimum. The carrier overlies at least a portion of the backing on each side of the axis but does not overlie the backing along the axis. The wound dressing is especially designed for use on round or irregular shaped body parts, such as an elbow or heel.

Abstract: A packaging construction including the combination of: a first backing; and a second backing with a first major surface including an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer is overlain by a passivation layer, the passivation layer including a patterned seal area that is substantially free of the passivation layer such that the adhesive layer is exposed in the patterned seal area.

Abstract: A bracket configured for use with a medical article comprising a base, a first set of posts defining a first channel, a second set of posts defining a second channel, and a support positioned in the second channel, where the first and second channels are independently dimensioned to receive at least a portion of the medical article and configured to inhibit at least lateral movement of the medical article when the medical article is coupled to the bracket. A medical article securement system for securing a medical article to the bracket and methods for coupling a medical article to the medical article securement system.

Abstract: Trimmable conformable wound dressings, kits containing the same and methods of using the same. The wound dressings may protect a treatment site from microbial contamination or other disturbances while a wound heals or to enable the application and maintenance of vacuum over the treatment site. The wound dressings may include first and second sections of support layer material on opposite sides of one or more intermediate sections of support layer material. The first and second sections of support layer material meet the intermediate sections of support layer material along peel tab junctions that provide peel tabs.

Abstract: A wound dressing is provided. The wound dressing includes a moisture-transmissible backing layer having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a backing layer perimeter; an absorbent hydrophilic adhesive adhered to at least a portion of the second major surface of the backing layer, the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive comprising an absorbent hydrophilic adhesive perimeter; an antimicrobial agent disposed in the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive; a porous layer having a first side adhered to the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive, a second side, and a porous layer perimeter; and a second hydrophobic adhesive adhered to the second side of the porous layer. The second major surface has a first hydrophobic adhesive disposed thereon proximate the backing layer perimeter. 100% of the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive perimeter is overlapped by the backing layer. At least 50% of the porous layer perimeter is overlapped by the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive.
