Antimicrobially active wound dressing for fixing catheters

摘要

The dressing (1) has a hydrophobic antimicrobial layer, and an absorbent layer comprising a water-containing hydrogel. A notch (7) is formed starting from an edge of the wound dressing for partially separating the wound dressing. The notch is designed as an elongated recess with edges that run at a distance to each other. The notch comprises an opening and a main section (8) that is extended from the edge to an end. The main section comprises transverse slots that run transverse to the notch, where the notch is surrounded by the absorbent layer. The antimicrobial layer comprises cellulose acetate fabric, viscose fabric, cotton fabric or blended fabric.
