Abstract
The invention herein relates to a wound dressing product, combining a hydrophobic fabric, which is to be placed towards the wound, and is capable of binding unwanted microorganisms, and a moisture carrying matrix such as a gel or a foam. The product of the invention is ideal for treatment of drier wounds. It protects the wound and reduces the number of pathogenic microorganisms, without using antimicrobial substances and at the same time adds or traps moisture to the wound both supporting the hydrophobic functioning of the pad and healing in general by keeping the wound moist.
Claims15
A dressing for a wound to be held on the wound with a holding material, comprising:
- a) a hydrophobic layer capable of binding microorganisms;
- and
- b) a second layer comprising an integrated moisture-holding matrix selected from the group consisting of gels and foams.
The dressing for a wound of claim 11, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of fatty acid esters and, alkyl ketene dimers.
A dressing for a wound, comprising:
- a) a hydrophobic layer capable of binding microorganisms;
- and
- b) a hydro-gel layer positioned on top of the hydrophobic layer so it will be placed between the product and the wound site when in use, providing moisture to the wound.
A dressing for a wound, comprising:
- a) a hydrophobic layer capable of binding microorganisms;
- and
- b) a foam layer positioned so that the hydrophobic layer is placed between the second layer and the wound, trapping moisture from the skin and wound.
