Abstract
Occlusive tissue dressings and methods including an elastomeric drape and a liquid component, at least partially cross-linked at least after one of drying and curing, suitable for application at a dressing-to-skin interface in order to create a substantially air-tight seal. The same or a different liquid component may be applied by a user at a tube-to-dressing interface in order to create a similar air-tight seal around the tube, if not occlusively sealed during its manufacture.
Claims36
A kit suitable for occlusively sealing a wound penetrating the skin of a patient, comprising:
- a drape formed as a thin sheet of an organic material substantially impervious to fluid transfer and having a first surface on one side of the drape and a second surface on an opposite side of the drape and having an outer edge;
- at least one connection interface component capable of connecting with a source of negative pressure, the at least one connection interface component including at least one of (i) a flexible tube having a first end extendable through the drape and having a second end connectable with the source of negative pressure, (ii) at least two pieces of drape capable of forming a joint through which a first end of a tube is insertable, (iii) a flange having a central passage and connectable with a tube, and/or (iv) a tube connector;
- at least one biocompatible adhesive that is at least one of (1) disposed on at least a portion of the first surface of the drape and/or (2) capable of contacting at least a portion of at least the first surface of the drape;
- when the kit includes the at least one biocompatible adhesive disposed on at least a portion of the first surface of the drape, the kit further includes at least a first removable liner covering at least a portion of the at least one biocompatible adhesive on the first surface of the drape;
- and
- at least one container of at least one dressing-to-skin interface sealant component that is capable of being delivered as a sealant in a liquid state at pre-selected ambient conditions, the sealant as delivered (A) being at least partially cross-linked after at least one of drying and/or curing, (B) being capable of at least one of drying and/or curing within thirty minutes after application of the sealant to create a dressing-to-skin air-tight interface when applied as an air-tight layer of sealant over the outer edge of the drape after the drape is applied to the skin surrounding the wound with the first surface of the drape facing the skin and (C) being capable of occlusively bonding to the second surface of the drape and skin surrounding the drape after the drape is applied to the skin surrounding the wound.
