DEVICE FOR TREATMENT OF WOUNDS AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING OF WOUND PADS

摘要

A device for treatment of wounds using reduced pressure, said device comprising a pump a reservoir connected to said pump for collecting exudate from a wound (1), an inlet to the reservoir for connecting the reservoir with the wound so as to allow the pump to expose the wound to the reduced pressure, a wound pad to be arranged in the wound cavity and a sealing covering the wound and said wound pad. The wound pad consist of an open-cell polyurethane foam which is fully impregnated with a soft hydrophobic silicone gel, and that the foam has a hardness of 1.0-6.0 kPa measured according to ISO 3386-1 at 40% compression. The invention also concerns such a wound pad to be used with an absorbent member. In addition the invention concerns a method for manufacturing the wound pad.
