Abstract: The invention relates to a functional wound dressing being able to detect and indicate the state of the wound, in particular with regard to an infection which is reported to be frequently associated with poorly healing wounds, such as chronic wounds. The present wound dressing can be used in moist wound healing and contains a substance being able to absorb wound exudate from the wound and to provide moisture to the wound.

Abstract: The invention relates to a functional wound dressing being able to provide substances supporting the healing of a wound to the wound depending on the condition of the wound. In particular, in case of an infection which is reported to be frequently associated with poorly healing wounds, such as chronic wounds, a therapeutic substance is provided to the wound whereas in other cases no therapeutic substance is provided. The present wound dressing can be used in moist wound healing and contains a substance being able to absorb wound exudate from the wound and to provide moisture to the wound.

Abstract: The invention relates to a functional wound dressing being able to detect and indicate the state of the wound, in particular with regard to infections for example caused by toxins produced by bacteria such Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The present wound dressing can be used in moist wound healing and contains a substance being able to absorb wound exudate from the wound and to provide moisture to the wound.

Abstract: The invention relates to water-containing hydrogels for dressing wounds, comprising a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer having a polyvalent alcohol, except propylene glycol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to wound dressings, more particularly for the need-based treatment of chronic and/or infected wounds, comprising a Bronsted acid and a pH-sensitive polymer, wherein the Bronsted acid is embedded in a matrix of pH-sensitive polymer or is surrounded by pH-sensitive polymer. The present invention also relates to particles containing a Bronsted acid and a pH-sensitive polymer for use in the treatment of wounds, more particularly infected wounds and/or chronic wounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water-containing hydrogel composition comprising elemental silver particles and to a multi-layered wound dressing comprising the hydrogel composition. The multi-layered wound dressing is used especially in the inflammation and/or granulation phases in the treatment of, for example, burns and/or chronic wounds. In addition, the invention relates to a process for preparing the hydrogel composition.
