The wound dressing may include one or more perfluorocarbon layers, a membrane electrolytic assembly, one or more dressing layers, and a durable binding layer. The one or more perfluorocarbon layers may contain nonafluorohexyltriethoxysilane, 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane, 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane, or pentafluorophenyltriethoxysilane. The wound dressing may also include other layers.
Claims18
A wound dressing assembly for treating a wound, comprising:
- a perfluorocarbon layer configured to deliver oxygen to a wound, the perfluorocarbon layer comprising perfluorocarbon bound to a cellulose fiber.
A method for treating a wound comprising:
- applying a wound dressing to a wound, the wound dressing comprising a perfluorocarbon layer;
- transporting oxygen to the perfluorocarbon layer such that the perfluorocarbon layer stores the oxygen;
- and
- delivering oxygen to the wound from the perfluorocarbon layer.
A kit for treating a wound comprising:
