Abstract
Described is a medical dressing that includes a backing layer, a body contact layer and a gel pad arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer, wherein the backing layer and the body contact layer extend beyond a periphery of the gel pad to define a border portion around a contour of the pad, wherein the gel has a compressive strength of from 1 to 30 kPa at a strain of 25% and/or a compressive strength of from 5 to 70 kPa at a strain of 50%, as measured according to ASTM D3574-11, test C.
Claims18
A medical dressing comprising a backing layer, a body contact layer and a gel pad arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer, wherein the backing layer and the body contact layer extend beyond a periphery of the gel pad to define a border portion around a contour of the gel pad, wherein a gel of the gel pad has a compressive strength of from 1 to 30 kPa at a strain of 25% and/or a compressive strength of from 5 to 70 kPa at a strain of 50%, as measured according to ASTM D3574-11, test C.
A medical dressing comprising a backing layer, a body contact layer and a gel pad arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer, wherein the backing layer and the body contact layer extend beyond a periphery of the gel pad to define a border portion around a contour of the gel pad, wherein the medical dressing has a lateral (x) extension and a longitudinal (y) extension;
- the gel pad being symmetric about a longitudinal center line and the dressing comprising a first lobed portion on one side of the longitudinal center line and a second lobed portion on the other side of the longitudinal center line, wherein a gel of the gel pad has a compressive strength of from 1 to 30 kPa at a strain of 25% and/or a compressive strength of from 5 to 70 kPa at a strain of 50%, as measured according to ASTM D3574-11, test C.
A medical dressing comprising a backing layer, a body contact layer and a gel pad arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer, wherein the backing layer and the body contact layer extend beyond a periphery of the gel pad to define a border portion around a contour of the gel pad, wherein the gel pad has apertures that extend through the gel pad, wherein a gel of the gel pad has a compressive strength of from 1 to 30 kPa at a strain of 25% and/or a compressive strength of from 5 to 70 kPa at a strain of 50%, as measured according to ASTM D3574-11, test C.
