Estimating the term…
A medical dressing for prevention of pressure ulcers is described. The dressing has a backing layer, a pad, and a body contact layer, wherein the pad is arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer. The body contact layer has an adhesive skin contact layer and an anisotropic layer having a first (x) direction and a second (y) direction perpendicular to the first (x) direction. The anisotropic layer is stiffer in the second (y) direction than in the first (x) direction. The dressing reduces shear and compression forces on the skin and in the underlying soft tissue layers and prevents the onset of pressure ulcers.
A medical dressing comprising a backing layer, a pad, and a body contact layer, wherein the pad is arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer, and wherein the backing layer and the body contact layer extend beyond the periphery of the pad to define a border portion around the contour of the pad, wherein the body contact layer comprises an adhesive skin contact layer and an anisotropic layer having a first (x) direction and a second (y) direction perpendicular to the first (x) direction, wherein the anisotropic layer is stiffer in the second (y) direction than in first (x) direction, wherein the anisotropic layer has a tensile force at 15% strain in the second (y) direction that is at least 6 times higher than in the first (x) direction, as measured by the tensile test ASTM D882-12.
A medical dressing comprising a backing layer, a pad, and a body contact layer, wherein the pad is arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer, and wherein the backing layer and the body contact layer extend beyond the periphery of the pad to define a border portion around the contour of the pad, wherein the body contact layer comprises an adhesive skin contact layer, a plastic film, and an anisotropic layer having a first (x) direction and a second (y) direction perpendicular to the first (x) direction, wherein the anisotropic layer is stiffer in the second (y) direction than in first (x) direction, wherein the plastic film is arranged between the anisotropic layer and the adhesive skin contact layer.
