Patent number: 11957547Abstract: A medical dressing is provided. The dressing has a central portion and a border portion, and comprises a backing layer, an adhesive body contact layer and a pad arranged in the central portion between the backing layer and the adhesive body contact layer. The pad is symmetric about a longitudinal center line and the dressing comprises a lobed portion on each side of the center line. The central portion of the dressing has a tensile strength in the longitudinal (y) direction of at least 60 N, preferably at least 70 N at an elongation of 25%, as measured by the test method ASTM D 882-12. The medical dressing may be used for pressure ulcer prevention, such as at the sacrum region of a human body.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: MÖLNLYCKE HEALTH CARE ABInventors: Patrick Rodzewicz, Jenny Flach, Maria Gustin Bergström, Karin Östan, Sandra Tillman, Angelica Andresen, Anita Haraldsson Hedbratt

Patent number: 11890170Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Mölnlycke Health Care ABInventors: Patrick Rodzewicz, Linda Mårlind, Dennis Hansson, Karin Glasmästar, Anna Grou, Conny Jakobsson, Océane Lançon

Patent number: 11395766Abstract: Disclosed is a medical dressing having a pad and a border portion. The pad can have a rim and the border portion extends along said rim. The medical dressing can be arranged in a first substantially planar configuration and be folded along a first line, and a second portion of said medical dressing is formed and a second substantially cup-shaped configuration. The first portion can be facing and contacting said second portion. Said first substantially planar configuration the first and second portions can be connected by means of a fixed connection along a second line, which defines a second line segment having a first and a second end-point. The first and second line segments are connected at their respective first end-points such that an angle between 90 and 175 degrees is formed between the first and second line segments when the medical dressing is in the first substantially planar configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Mölnlycke Health Care ABInventors: Timo Leppänen, Karin Östan, Patrick Rodzewicz, Malin Mårtensson

Patent number: 11285050Abstract: A medical dressing having a geometrical plane of symmetry. A border portion extends along the contour of the pad. A central portion of the dressing has a smaller width perpendicular to the plane of symmetry than the widths of the adjoining portions. The medical dressing comprises a gripping tab which is coplanar with the border portion and which projects outwardly from the border portion. The medical dressing may be used for pressure ulcer prevention, such as at a heel of a human body.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: MÖLNLYCKE HEALTH CARE ABInventors: Karin Ostan, Angelica Andresen, Malin Martensson, Patrick Rodzewicz

Publication number: 20200383839Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2018Publication date: December 10, 2020Inventors: Patrick Rodzewicz, Linda Mårlind, Dennis Hansson, Karin Glasmästar, Anna Grou, Conny Jakobsson, Océane Lançon
