Abstract
A wound treating article, system and kit, and methods of assembly and treating are provided where nanoporous isoporous membranes are pathogen tuned are combined with resilient, flexible or elastic supports to provide tailored wound treating bandages and/or kits for the medical industry.
Claims19
A flexible composite bandage, comprising:
- a) an isoporous, self-assembled nanoporous membrane;
- b) a flexible and/or elastic support;
- and c) optionally a biocompatible non-stick agent in at least one of the isoporous membrane and support.
A method of providing a wound treating system, comprising associating a isoporous self-assembled nanoporous membrane having a pore size of from 1 to 200 nm to a flexible and/or elastic support to form a unitary bandage, wherein a biocompatible non-stick agent is associated with at least one of the isoporous membrane and support and at least one of the membrane and support are biocompatible.
A kit comprising different pathogen specific bandages, at least one first bandage comprising an isoporous, self-assembled nanoporous membrane having a pore size of from 1 to 60 nm, at least one second bandage comprising an isoporous, self-assembled nanoporous membrane having a pore size of from 1 to 100 nm, an additional bandage comprising an isoporous, self-assembled nanoporous membrane having other pore sizes, including at least a pore size of from 1 to 200 nm.
An article, comprising:
- a) an isoporous, self-assembled nanoporous membrane having a pore size of from 1 to 200 nm;
- b) a flexible and/or elastic support;
- wherein the article provides at least one of biocompatibility, biodegradability, anti-bacterial/microbial, non-stick, enhances cell growth, and drug eluting.
