摘要:
A nasal plug for preventing excessive fluid discharge from a nasal passage includes a plug element fabricated from an absorbent material. The plug element has a size and configuration adapted and constructed to fit into a human nasal passage. A shaft portion extends from the plug element. The shaft portion is formed as an extension of the plug element and is fabricated from the same material as the plug element. A flexible sheathing is provided on the shaft portion.

A material for a product for the compression of body parts includes a two-dimensional base body. At least one linear protuberance, which extends longitudinally in a basic direction, is formed on at least one flat side of this base body. The at least one protuberance has at least one section which is aligned obliquely and/or transversely to its basic direction.

This invention is directed to advanced hemorrhage control wound dressings, and methods of using and producing same. The subject wound dressing is constructed from a non-mammalian material for control of severe 5 bleeding. The wound dressing for controlling severe bleeding is formed of a biomaterial comprising chitosan, a hydrophilic polymer, a polyacrylic polymer or a combination thereof, The kind of severe, life-threatening bleeding contemplated by this invention is typically of the type not capable of being stanched when a conventional gauze wound dressing is applied with conventional 10 pressure to the subject wound. The wound dressing being capable of substantially stanching the flow of the severe life-threatening bleeding from the wound by adhering to the wound site, to seal the wound, to accelerate blood clot formation at the wound site, to reinforce clot formation at the wound site and prevent bleed out from the wound site, and to substantially prohibit the flow of 15 blood out of the wound site.
摘要:
A chitosan biomaterial is frozen in aqueous solution to form a frozen chitosan structure from which water is removed by a prescribed freeze-drying process to form a sponge-like chitosan structure having a thickness and a density. The sponge-like chitosan structure is compressed by application of heat and pressure to reduce the thickness and increase the density of the sponge-like chitosan structure to form a densified chitosan structure. The densified chitosan structure is further preconditioned by heating the densified chitosan structure according to prescribed conditions to form a wound dressing. The wound dressing possesses an adhesion strength and resistance to dissolution in high blood flow bleeding situations.
摘要:
An endoscopic surgery device for the insertion and recovery of a haemostatic plug at the surgical site. The device comprises a tubular body suitable for slidingly housing the plug, and a plunger slidingly engageable within the tubular body so as to push the plug outside the body, and to position it at the surgical site. The plug is connected to a locator that is radio-opaque, has a suitable color, and has a specific weight that allows it to float relative to the internal organs, blood or other fluids present at the surgical site. A loop is provided at a distal end of the plunger and at a proximal end of the plunger, a first handle is provided for actuating the plunger so as to grip the ball and recover the plug after use by retracting the plunger inside the tubular body.
摘要:
A reduced pressure dressing coated with biomolecules including a polymer material layer and at least one biomolecule selected from the group consisting of a hemostatic agent, an antioxidant agent, and a nitric oxide promoter, the at least one biomolecule absorbed into a portion of the polymer material layer. The present reduced pressure dressing coated with biomolecules further includes methods for making same.
摘要:
Silver nanoparticles are mixed with a chitosan solution, to form a chitosan/silver nanoparticle dispersion, which is then subjected to a freeze-drying process, to form a chitosan/silver nanoparticle matrix suitable for use as a wound dressing.
摘要:
A hemostatic biocidal dressing includes pro-coagulant and biocidal agents providing a physical barrier to bleeding as well as chemical action to promote blood coagulation and thereby arrest coverage. At the same time, biocidal properties of the dressing prevent the introduction of infected agents and the establishment of infection within wounded tissue. A silverized textile provides biocidal action while a granulated hemostatic agent disposed within interstitial regions between polymer fibers provides coagulating action.
摘要:
An improved bandage including a strip of fabric for winding about a body portion having a wound; a dressing, formed integrally with said strip of fabric, for placement over the wound; and a pocket formed over said dressing, adapted to contain therein a topical agent, preferably a hemostatic agent, for treating the wound. Also envisioned is a topical agent-bearing package which comprises a plurality of integrally formed discrete elements, each formed of a permeable exterior layer containing a volume of a topical agent and an intervening, weakened region formed between each of said discrete elements, adapted to facilitate separation of at least one of said discrete elements from the remainder of said plurality of discrete elements.
