Wound care device having fluid transfer and adhesive properties

A wound care device comprising:

• a single layer of fabric having a wound contact surface and a wound fluid reservoir surface,
• wherein said wound contact surface is comprised primarily of polyester fiber and said fluid reservoir surface is comprised primarily of nylon fiber,
• wherein said polyester and nylon fibers are intermeshed together in a jersey knit construction,
• wherein said wound contact surface is coated with a perforated trilaminate silicone adhesive layer containing apertures, wherein portions of the polyester fiber extend through the apertures of the perforated trilaminate silicone adhesive layer, and
• wherein said wound care device transports wound fluid uni-directionally from said wound contact surface to said wound fluid reservoir surface upon exposure to a wound.

A wound care device comprising:

• a wound contact surface and a wound fluid reservoir surface,
• wherein said wound contact surface is comprised primarily of hydrophobic fiber and said fluid reservoir surface is comprised primarily of hydrophilic fiber,
• wherein said hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers are intermeshed together in a jersey knit construction, and
• wherein said wound care device transports wound fluid uni-directionally from said wound contact surface to said wound fluid reservoir surface upon exposure to a wound;
• wherein said wound contact surface is coated with a composition comprising at least one silver ion-containing compound;
• wherein said wound contact surface is further coated with a perforated trilaminate silicone adhesive layer containing apertures, wherein portions of the hydrophobic fiber extend through the apertures of the perforated trilaminate silicone adhesive layer.

A wound care device comprising:

• (a) a single layer of fabric having a wound contact surface and a wound fluid reservoir surface,
• wherein said wound contact surface is comprised primarily of hydrophobic fiber and said wound fluid reservoir surface is comprised primarily of hydrophilic fiber, said hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers being intermeshed together in a jersey knit fabric construction;
• wherein said wound contact surface is coated with a perforated trilaminate silicone adhesive layer containing apertures;
• (b) optionally, a first hot melt adhesive layer;
• (c) a fluid retentive layer;
• (d) optionally, a second hot melt adhesive layer;
• (e) optionally, an occlusive film layer;
• wherein portions of said hydrophobic fiber extend through the apertures of said perforated trilaminate silicone adhesive layer;
• and
• wherein said wound care device transports wound fluid uni-directionally from said wound contact surface to said wound fluid reservoir surface upon exposure to a wound.

A wound care device comprising:

• a single layer of fabric having a wound facing surface and a wound fluid reservoir surface,
• wherein said wound facing surface is comprised primarily of hydrophobic fiber and said wound fluid reservoir surface is comprised primarily of hydrophilic fiber, said hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers being intermeshed together in a jersey knit fabric construction;
• wherein said wound facing surface is coated with a perforated trilaminate silicone adhesive layer containing apertures;
• wherein portions of said hydrophobic fiber extend through the apertures of said perforated trilaminate silicone adhesive layer;
• and
• wherein said wound care device transports wound fluid uni-directionally from said wound facing surface to said wound fluid reservoir surface upon exposure to a wound.
