Abstract
In order to make available a wound dressing (100) with at least one energy transfer agent (11, 12) and a wound dressing (13), namely a combination of wound dressing and electrode for the stimulation treatment, with which an uniform electrostimulation of the wound can be achieved so that the wound healing process is considerably improved, it is proposed that the energy transfer agent has at least two layers and that the energy transfer agent (11, 12) has at least two adjacent layers (11, 12), a first layer (11)—energy supply—and a second energy—distribution of energy—(12), whereby the first layer (11) has a lower electric resistance and the second layer (12) a higher electric resistance.
Claims21
A wound dressing, comprising:
- an electrical energy transfer medium comprising an electrode for electrostimulation of a wound, said electrode having multiple adjacent layers, including a first layer having a first electric resistance and adapted to provide an energy supply with a generally homogenous current distribution across a total area of the energy transfer medium and a second layer for distribution of energy, wherein the second layer has a higher second electric resistance than the first layer;
- a protection/fixing layer disposed on a side of the first layer generally opposite to the second layer;
- and
- a wound pad on a side of the second layer generally opposite the first layer and adapted for direct contact with the wound, wherein the wound pad is electrically conductive, heat conducting or heat generating when energy is applied thereto.
