20140148748 | Medical Dressing and Method for Making the Same - A medical dressing is used to dress and treat skin wounds such as burns, cuts or traumatic injuries, and a method for making the same. The medical dressing includes an auxiliary release paper which makes it convenient to separate a pressure sensitive adhesive sheet from a release paper and is very easily separated from the pressure sensitive adhesive sheet after application to a wound site, thus improving the convenience of use of the dressing, and prevents the contamination of the pressure sensitive adhesive sheet in the process of either separating the pressure sensitive adhesive sheet from the release paper or separating the auxiliary release paper, thus preventing the secondary bacterial infection of a wound site, and is not exposed to the outside so that the dressing has an improved appearance and is convenient to carry and store. | 05-29-2014 |
20140213955 | PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE COMPOSITION - A pressure sensitive adhesive composition includes 4-15 w/w % styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer, 20-35 w/w % styrene-isoprene diblock copolymer, 4-15 w/w % tackifier, 6-18 w/w % paraffin oil, and 30-45 w/w % hydrocolloid. The size of the hydrocolloid is below 40 μm. | 07-31-2014 |
20140288477 | VENTED EMERGENCY WOUND DRESSINGS - A wound dressing provides a tenacious occlusive seal against the skin of a wearer, even in the presence of excessive blood or heavy perspiration. The preferred embodiment combines an adhesive backing layer with a hydrogel island providing superior hydrophilic gel adhesion. The product performs under extreme temperatures (i.e., 32-140° F.), and may be used to hold other dressings in place. The preferred embodiments are entirely translucent, and include a large pull-tab for easy removal. Two dressings may be packaged in a pliable re-sealable protective pouch, thereby forming a portable “kit.” Different “vented” embodiments are disclosed. A preferred structure includes a cover layer peripherally bonded to backing and hydrogel layers having a central aperture therethrough. The cover layer has one or more vent holes, and pressure is released through the central aperture and out the vent hole(s). | 09-25-2014 |
20140323941 | SKIN CONTACT MATERIAL - A substrate based skin contact material formed from a hydrocolloid having a silicone based component extending over regions of the substrate surface. The adhesive is formed non-continuously over the substrate to provide areas devoid of adhesive to allow appreciable moisture transfer between the skin and substrate and improve the skin friendliness of the material during use and allow convenient removal with avoidance of skin irritation. | 10-30-2014 |
20150032042 | Tackifier, Tackifier for Medical or Industrial Use, Adhesive and/or Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive for Medical or Industrial Use, Adhesive Sheet and/or Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Sheet for Medical or Industrial Use, and Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Tape for Medical or Industrial Use - Provided is a resin acid ester-based tackifier having a good compatibility with a synthetic rubber elastomer, being capable of reducing the melt viscosity of the elastomer, and being capable of imparting excellent adhesive properties and/or pressure-sensitive adhesive properties to the elastomer. The tackifier is composed of an ester composition characterized by | 01-29-2015 |
20150290045 | WOUND DRESSING HAVING GRID PATTERN - A wound dressing comprising a base film layer which is made of polymer and have a grid pattern on one surface of the substrate layer is provided. A method of making the wound dressing comprising the steps of coating a polymer solution on a patterned liner and drying the polymer solution is also provided. | 10-15-2015 |
20150297413 | ADHESIVE ARTICLES - This disclosure relates generally to adhesive articles and particularly to adhesive articles comprising a reversible adhesive layer and a non-reversible adhesive layer. The adhesive article may further comprise a backing material. The adhesive article may further comprise a dressing material. Such adhesive articles may be particularly suitable for treatment of damaged sensitive tissue, for example wounds formed on a fragile skin. | 10-22-2015 |
