Wound dressing with a bacterial adsorbing composition and moisture holding system

摘要

The invention herein relates to a wound dressing product, combining a hydrophobic fabric, which is to be placed towards the wound, and is capable of binding unwanted microorganisms, and a moisture carrying matrix such as a gel or a foam. The product of the invention is ideal for treatment of drier wounds. It protects the wound and reduces the number of pathogenic microorganisms, without using antimicrobial substances and at the same time adds or traps moisture to the wound both supporting the hydrophobic functioning of the pad and healing in general by keeping the wound moist.

主权项

1. A dressing for a wound, consisting essentially of:
a) a first layer, wherein the first layer is a hydrophobic layer that binds microorganisms when the dressing is placed on the wound, and wherein the first layer has been treated with a compound that contains hydrophobic groups and the compound is selected from the group consisting of a dialkyl carbamoyl chloride and an alkyl ketene dimer; and b) a second layer comprising a moisture carrying gel matrix, wherein the moisture carrying gel matrix is integrated with the first layer, wherein, when the dressing is applied to the wound, the second layer is between the first layer and the wound with the moisture carrying gel matrix configured to be in direct contact with the wound, and the moisture carrying gel matrix donates water, wherein the wound is selected from the group consisting of dry wounds and wounds needing additional moisture, and wherein the water donated by the moisture carrying gel matrix supports hydrophobic functioning of the dressing that helps bind microorganisms to the first layer without the use of antimicrobial compounds.
