example 1

[0043] refer to figure 1 , the optional skin contact layer 5 is transparent, adhesive and liquid permeable at least over the area covering the wound 2 . A wound may be, for example, a surgical incision. Permeability can be achieved by mechanical means such as pores, mesh, or by the material of the skin contact layer 5 which is permeable. The bandage comprises an optional skin contact layer 5 which is at least partially perforated, eg with small openings, or provided with a mesh. Other settings and combinations are also possible. Any suitable material known in the art may be used, such as polymeric materials. Adhesion of the skin contact layer 5 to the skin 1 can be achieved by chemical means, such as adhesives, and / or by mechanical means, such as high friction surfaces and microhooks.

[0044] In order that the wound edges 3 are held together well, the skin contact layer 5 is preferably elastic and stretchable. When the bandage is applied to the skin 1, the skin contact l...

example 2

[0048] The elasticity of the skin contact layer 5 can be achieved by the material of the layer being itself elastic or stretchable. refer to figure 2 , the skin contact layer 5 can optionally be transparent and permeable only on the part covering the wound 2, optionally slightly more. The remainder of the skin contacting layer 5 is elastic or stretchable, but need not be transparent or permeable. One advantage of using two or more materials is that you get a wider choice of stretchable materials. The stabilizing element 6 is preferably absorbable to liquids, such as water, blood and blood components. The stabilizing element 6 has a dual function. They can absorb fluid leaking from wound 2. They can also transmit the pressure exerted on the wound 2 (eg when a person with a back injury is lying on their back) to the area of ​​skin 1 outside the wound 2 . This transfer of pressure increases perceived compliance and reduces recovery time.

[0049] Once the skin contact laye...

example 3

[0055] Figure 3 shows an advantageous embodiment for holding wound edges 3 together. The stabilizing element 6 is an elastic and closed circular loop. Other forms of stabilizing elements 6 are also conceivable, for example oval, rectangular, hexagonal or octagonal. The stabilizing element 6 is itself elastic, or it is made elastic in other ways, for example by being arranged in an elastic plastic ring. The stabilizing elements 6 can have different but preferably symmetrical cross-sections such as square, hexagonal, octagonal, circular and elliptical or combinations thereof.

[0056] This embodiment will mainly be used according to phases A, B and C of FIG. 3 . White arrows indicate compression. Black arrows indicate expansion.

[0057] Phase A: The stabilizing element 6 can form eg a circle when not yet in use. This stage A is when the bandage is still in its packaging or just before use.

[0058] Stage B: The optional release liner 9 is removed. The bandage is position...

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a bandage for improved monitoring, healing and pain-reduction of a wound. The bandage also increases compliance for patients and for caring personal. The bandage is useful with most any wound being exposed to pressure, trauma and / or irritation. The bandage is especially useful with incisions upon surgery, preferably incisions upon abdominal and hip surgery as wellas incisions upon dorsal surgery. The above features are accomplished by the wound being visible through the bandage, external pressure on the wound being redirected to areas around the wound not being compromised by surgery and possible exudate from the wound being absorbed within the bandage, as well as pressure from the bandage being exerted inwards against the wound edges thereby improving the cosmetic result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a bandage for improved wound monitoring, healing and pain relief. The bandage can also increase compliance for the patient and caregiver. This bandage can be used on most wounds subject to pressure, trauma and / or irritation. The bandage is particularly advantageous for surgical incisions, preferably incisions during abdominal and hip surgery and incisions during back surgery. [0002] The above features are primarily achieved by making the wound visible through the bandage; redirecting external pressure on the wound to areas around the wound that have not been damaged by the surgical procedure; absorbing possible exudates from the wound within the bandage ; and the pressure from the bandage is exerted inwardly on the wound edges, thereby improving aesthetic results. Background technique [0003] The multifaceted problem of facilitating monitoring and healing of wounds and relieving pain in patients while providing in...
