An absorbent wound filler having high capacity for absorbing wound exudate comprising a polymeric matrix having absorbing powders dispersed within the matrix and method of treating an exudating wound by applying the wound filler to the wound. The absorbing powders contain sodium calcium alginates and also may contain cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose, absorbent polyacrylates and water soluble hydrocolloids.

Method and composition for absorbing wound fluids

A dressing comprising a flexible backing member and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The adhesive layer comprises one or more polyisobutylenes, elastomers, and one or more moisture absorbing, moisture transmitting, water soluble and/or water swellable agents. A dispersion of the active ingredient in a medium compatible with the adhesive layer is laminated to the skin contacting surface.

Method of preparing adhesive dressings containing a pharmaceutically

An occlusive wound dressing comprising a flexible closed cell polyurethane foam containing from about 5% to about 50% by weight of the foam of one or more water dispersible, water swellable, and/or water absorbing agents. A pressure sensitive adhesive is applied or laminated to one surface of the foam in a discontinuous pattern. A polymeric film or skin is laminated or formed on the opposite surface of the foam.

Wound dressing

An occlusive wound dressing comprising a flexible closed cell polyurethane foam containing from about 5% to about 50% by weight of the foam of one or more water dispersible, water swellable, and/or water absorbing agents. A pressure sensitive microporous adhesive is applied or laminated to one surface of the foam as a continuous layer. A polymeric film or skin is laminated or formed on the opposite surface of the foam.
