WOUND DRESSING AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A method for producing a wound dressing wherein a curable silicone mixture (114) is extruded onto a generally planar molding surface (112). The silicone mixture (114) defines a first surface adjacent the molding surface (112) and a second surface opposite the first surface. The molding surface (112) is heated at a curing temperature sufficient to cause the silicone mixture (114) to cross-link. The silicone mixture (114) is uniformly spread over the molding surface (112) such that the silicone mixture has a generally uniform thickness and the second surface is substantially planar. The second surface of the silicone mixture (114) is laminated to an absorbent material (120) after the silicone mixture (114) has started to cross-link and transform to a gel due to exposure to the heated molding surface (112).
