Abstract
An occlusive wound dressing comprising a flexible closed cell polyurethane foam containing from about 5% to about 50% by weight of the foam of one or more water dispersible, water swellable, and/or water absorbing agents. A pressure sensitive adhesive is applied or laminated to one surface of the foam in a discontinuous pattern. A polymeric film or skin is laminated or formed on the opposite surface of the foam.
Claims24
An occlusive wound dressing consisting essentially of a flexible closed cell polyurethane foam having distributed therein from about 5% to about 50% by weight of said foam of one or more water dispersible, water swellable, and/or water absorbing agents selected from the group consisting of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, calcium carboxymethylcellulose, pectin, gelatin, guar gum, locust bean gum, collagen, karaya, water insoluble cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose, substantially water insoluble starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymer, and substantially water insoluble cross-linked dextran, a thin polymeric film or a skin laminated to one surface of said foam, and a pressure sensitive adhesive laminated to the other surface of said foam in a discontinuous pattern that covers from about 25% to about 75% of the surface of said foam.
An occlusive wound dressing consisting essentially of a flexible closed cell polyurethane foam of from about 10 to about 100 mils thickness and a density of from about 10 pounds/cubic foot to about 50 pounds/cubic foot having distributed therein from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the foam of one or more agents selected from the group consisting of pectin, gelatin, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a polyurethane film or skin of from about 0.5 to about 3 mils thickness laminated to one surface of said foam, and a pressure sensitive adhesive of from about 1 to about 10 mils thickness laminated to the other surface of said foam in a discontinuous pattern covering from about 25% to about 75% of the surface of said foam.
An occlusive wound dressing consisting essentially of a flexible closed cell polyurethane foam of from about 10 to about 100 mils thickness and a density of from about 10 pounds/cubic foot to about 50 pounds/cubic foot having distributed therein from about 5% to about 22% by weight of said foam of a water insoluble starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymer, a polyurethane film or skin of from about 0.5 to about 3 mils thickness laminated to one surface of said foam, and a pressure sensitive adhesive of from about 1 to about 10 mils thickness laminated to the other surface of said foam in a discontinuous pattern covering from about 25% to about 75% of the surface of said foam.
An occlusive wound dressing consisting essentially of a flexible closed cell polyurethane foam of from about 10 to about 100 mils thickness and a density of from about 10 pounds/cubic foot to about 50 pounds/cubic foot and having distributed therein from about 12% to about 48% by weight of said foam of a mixture of from about 2 parts by weight of one or more of pectin, gelatin, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose and about 1 part by weight of a water insoluble starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymer, a polyurethane film or skin of from about 0.5 to about 3 mils thickness laminated to one surface of said foam, and a pressure sensitive microporous adhesive of from about 1 to about 10 mills thickness laminated to the other surface of said foam in a discontinuous pattern covering from about 25% to about 75% the surface of said foam.
