Provided herein are microbial infection indicator devices, including dressing with indicators, standalone indicator inserts or disks that can be freely placed at a wound site or dressing, and applications thereof for displaying a visible or detectable signal to a user upon detection of an analyte or biomarker indicative of an infection, such as a color change.

Detecting microbial infections in wounds

A chemically modified cellulosic fibre or filament having a moisture content of at least 7% by weight obtained by a process comprising the steps of (i) obtaining cellulosic fibres or filament and chemically modifying the cellulose by substitution to increase its absorbency; (ii) washing the fibres after step (i) in a mixture comprising water and up to 99% by weight of water-miscible organic solvent; (iii) drying the fibres to a moisture content of at least 7% by weight.

Processing of chemically modified cellulosic fibres

A staining composition for use in making biofilm detectable on viable tissue wherein the composition preferentially stains the biofilm and comprises a staining agent in a quantity effective to stain the biofilm and render it detectable.

Composition for detecting biofilms on viable tissues

An antiseptic composition suitable for use on skin and wounds comprising a source of an antimicrobial agent and an agent which disrupts biofilms. More, particularly the invention relates to a composition capable of providing effective antimicrobial activity while at the same time avoiding wound and skin irritation and retardation of wound healing.

Antimicrobial composition

A wound dressing comprising a mat of gel forming fibers comprising silver, the mat having an open structure reinforced with textile fibers or threads, or fibers or threads of limited absorbency for use in the treatment of wounds.

Wound dressing

The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition suitable for use on skin and wounds comprising a source of an antimicrobial metal ion and a quaternary cationic surfactant.

Composition comprising antimicrobial metal ions and a quaternary cationic surfactant

A composition for use on skin and wounds, comprising a photo-catalyst which is capable of preferentially staining biofilms the composition being for use in the diagnosis and treatment of biofilms in wounds.

Methods of enhancing the photostabilizing of silver in medical materials are described. More particularly, the methods increase the photostabilization of silver in certain materials comprising hydrophilic, amphoteric and anionic polymers by subjecting the polymers to solutions containing an organic solvent and silver, during or after which one or more agents are added which facilitate the photostablization of the material.
