Abstract
A dressing for treating a wound on a digit includes a digit contact layer configured to substantially prevent adherence of the dressing to the wound and an antimicrobial layer coupled to a wound-facing side of the digit contact layer. The antimicrobial layer includes an antimicrobial substance. A first roll is coupled to a non-wound-facing side of the digit contact layer and unrollable to cover the digit, the digit contact layer, and the antimicrobial layer and a second roll is coupled to the first roll and unrollable to cover the first roll, the digit, the digit contact layer, and the antimicrobial layer.
Claims15
A dressing for treating a wound on a digit, comprising:
- a digit contact layer configured to substantially prevent adherence of the dressing to the wound, wherein a portion of the digit contact layer defines an enclosure on a non-wound-facing side of the digit contact layer, the enclosure being defined independently from any contact between the digit contact layer and the digit;
- an absorbent enclosed within the enclosure and configured to absorb fluid from the wound through the digit contact layer;
- an antimicrobial layer coupled to a wound-facing side of the digit contact layer, the antimicrobial layer comprising an antimicrobial substance;
- a first roll coupled to the enclosure on the non-wound-facing side of the digit contact layer and unrollable to cover the digit, the digit contact layer, the enclosure, and the antimicrobial layer;
- and
- a second roll coupled to the first roll and unrollable to cover the first roll, the digit, the digit contact layer, the enclosure, and the antimicrobial layer.
