A multi layered wound dressing which comprises an adhesive layer, an absorbent layer overlying said adhesive layer on the surface furthest from the wound, and a moisture transmitting cover layer overlying the absorbent layer, the dressing having a total thickness of less than 1.5 mm.

Multi-layered wound dressing

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.

Light stabilized antimicrobial materials

An iodine preparation composition suitable for use on wounds comprising an iodide source, an oxidant and a buffer characterized in that the iodide is held separately from the oxidant until the point of use, and that the buffer is capable of maintaining the pH of the composition at between pH 45 and pH 6 so that iodine is generated at a physiologically acceptable dose rate.

Iodine preparation composition

A multi layered wound dressing comprising: (a) an adsorbent layer having high absorbency but low lateral wicking rate, and (b) a transmission layer having a high moisture vapor transmission rate overlying the side of said absorbent layer furthest from the wound.

A wound dressing comprises a blend of at least two types of discrete fibers wherein one discrete fiber is of a modified cellulose gel-forming material and a second discrete fiber is of another type of gel-forming material such as an alginate.

Wound dressing

A novel wound dressing includes a fibrous absorbent layer for absorbing wound exudate, an odor layer for absorbing odor and a barrier layer interposed the fibrous absorbent and barrier layers. Preferably the barrier layer is vacuum perforated and the fibrous absorbent layer is of highly absorbent fibres capable of absorbing 25 grams of exudate per gram of dressing.

Multilayered wound dressing

A water soluble film having a thickness of from 0.03 mm to 0.5 mm comprising a water soluble polymer and an active substance.

Water soluble films

The present invention relates to a multi-layered wound dressing particularly for use as a dressing on highly exudating wounds.
