TITLE: COMPOSITE DRESSING INVENTOR: THOMAS ANTHONY AUGURT 52 Winesap Road Stamford, Connecticut 06903 A flexible, tissue surface conformable, water vapor permeable, composite dressing for wounds, particularly major burns, is formed from a knitted fabric of a tissue absorbable polymer, such as polyglycolic acid, having on the non-tissue contacting surface a water vapor permeable elastomeric film, such as polyurethane, silicone rubber, poly(caprolactone) and natural rubber, which excludes microorganisms and dirt, while controlling water vapor permeation to approximately that of the intact human skin. The dressing is tissue surface conformable, minimizes pooling of liquids between the dressing and the wound, minimizes infections, is readily removable to permit a change of dressing, and permits granulation tissue to form under the dressing and subsequent autografting. If any of the tissue absorbable material is trapped within the wound, it is absorbed with no deleterious effects. |
