  • Supple tissue dressing assemblies, systems, and methods formed from hydrophilic polymer sponge structures such as chitosan
    Publication number: 20070082023
    Abstract: Supple tissue dressing assemblies are formed from hydrophilic polymer sponge structures, such as chitosan. The supple tissue dressing assemblies are characterized by suppleness or multi-dimensional flexibility. The assemblies can be flexed, bent, folded, twisted, and even rolled upon itself before and during use, without creasing, cracking, fracturing, otherwise compromising the integrity and mechanical and/or therapeutic characteristics of the assemblies.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 2, 2006
    Publication date: April 12, 2007
    Inventors: Lance Hopman, Clinton Pepper, Michael Radovan, Simon McCarthy
