  • Patent number: 11285238
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adherent interface dressing intended for application directly to a wound. Said adherent interface dressing includes a non-adherent cohesive gel formed from a hydrophobic elastomeric matrix consisting of a styrene-(ethylene/butylene)-styrene or styrene-(ethylene/propylene)-styrene triblock elastomer optionally associated with a styrene-(ethylene/butylene) or styrene-(ethylene/propylene) diblock copolymer; said elastomer plasticized by means of a mineral oil, and containing dispersed therein a small quantity of hydrophilic particles of a hydrocolloid; and a flexible open-mesh fabric, said fabric including threads coated with the non-adherent cohesive gel such as to leave the meshes substantially unsealed, The fabric is a heat-set knit with weft yarns, said yarns being continuous multifilament yarns with non-elastic filaments, whereof the extensibility in the transverse direction measured in accordance with standard EN 13726-4 is between 0.01 and 0.5 N/cm.

  • Patent number: 9474661
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an item (10) having liquid (L) storage and/or discharge properties, in particular a bandage, comprising: —a liquid-permeable proximal structure (20), consisting of a material capable of inflating in the presence of liquid (L), —a distal structure (30) capable of draining a liquid (L), —a hydrophobic and non-absorbent spacer structure (40) extending between the distal (30) and proximal (20) structures, and being capable of locally limiting, when said material is not inflated, the exchange of liquid between the distal and proximal structures by maintaining a gap between said structures, and of authorizing a local expansion of the proximal structure in at least one zone (P) where said material is inflated in response to coming into contact with a liquid, said expansion causing the proximal and distal structure to move together locally and the transfer of said liquid from the zone of the proximal structure (20) having undergone expansion to the distal structure (30).
