Abstract: A dressing for treating a wound on a digit includes a digit contact layer configured to substantially prevent adherence of the dressing to the wound and an antimicrobial layer coupled to a wound-facing side of the digit contact layer. The antimicrobial layer includes an antimicrobial substance. A first roll is coupled to a non-wound-facing side of the digit contact layer and unrollable to cover the digit, the digit contact layer, and the antimicrobial layer and a second roll is coupled to the first roll and unrollable to cover the first roll, the digit, the digit contact layer, and the antimicrobial layer.

Abstract: An amputation dressing includes a wound contact layer that includes a central panel and three or more petals extending radially from the central panel. The wound contact layer also includes a tube of elastic material twisted to form a point. The point is located substantially centrally along a length of the tube. The tube of elastic material is coupled to the central panel proximate the point. The tube is rolled from a first end of the tube to the point to form a first roll and from a second end of the tube to the point to form a second roll.

Abstract: Described herein is a wound dressing comprising: a composite island configured to collectively exhibit substantially elastic recovery under wound treatment conditions and comprising a foam layer and an absorbent layer coupled to the foam layer, the foam layer exhibiting substantially elastic recovery under wound treatment conditions and the absorbent layer not exhibiting substantially elastic recovery under wound treatment conditions; a backing layer having a margin that extends beyond the composite island; and an adherent layer disposed on at least the margin of the backing layer. In addition, described herein is a method of eliminating, minimizing, or reducing edema for a wound surrounded by tissue, by positioning the wound dressing over the wound, optionally such that at least a portion of the adherent layer contacts the tissue.

Abstract: Described herein are dressings comprising a composite island comprising a polyurethane or foam layer coupled to an absorbent layer comprising non-woven gelling fibers. Also described herein are dressings comprising an absorbent layer comprising carboxymethyl cellulose fibers and a backing layer coupled to the absorbent layer. In the respective dressings, the absorbent layer is not elastically deformable under tissue treatment conditions, whereas the polyurethane or foam layer and the backing layer are substantially elastically deformable under tissue treatment conditions. The coupling of the absorbent layer to the polyurethane/foam layer or backing layer renders the coupled structure or the entire dressing substantially elastically deformable under tissue treatment conditions. Methods of eliminating, minimizing, or reducing edema are also described herein.
