Abstract: Described is a NPWT dressing that includes a backing layer, an adhesive skin contacting layer and an absorbent pad arranged between the backing layer and the adhesive skin contacting layer. The backing layer comprises a coupling site configured to connect the dressing to a negative pressure source. The absorbent pad has a pad outer edge(s). The backing layer and the adhesive skin contacting layer extends beyond the pad outer edge(s) forming a border portion around the absorbent pad. The adhesive skin contacting layer has perforations, the perforations forming a first perforated area extending over the absorbent pad allowing passage of liquid from a wound into the absorbent pad. The absorbent pad has a non-rectangular shape, and the first perforated area forms a rectangular shape.

Abstract: An insertion aid for catheter manipulation is disclosed. The insertion aid can be used for urinary catheters, such as hydrophilic urinary catheters for intermittent use. The insertion aid includes first and second plate-like arms arranged overlying each other and with a separation distance there between. The insertion aid also includes a resilient hinge connecting adjacent marginal edges of the plate-like arms together. At least one of the plate-like arms includes a groove on its clamping inner surface for holding a catheter shaft. The groove extends at least partly in the same direction as, and essentially parallel to, the resilient hinge, and is arranged at a distance both from the resilient hinge and from the marginal edge of the plate-like arm. Corresponding catheter set and catheter assembly are also disclosed.
