Definitions
- the present application relates to a wound dressing, to methods for the production of such wound dressings and to their use.
- the wound dressing must have sufficient absorbency for wound fluid, but at the same time also have a sufficient Wet strength.
- the wound dressing must prevent the ingress of foreign bodies (such as bacteria or dirt) into the wound and prevent the escape of wound fluids into the area outside the wound dressing.
- the wound dressing should be "skin-sticky" on the skin surrounding the wound, ie it should not stick to the wound.
- the wound dressing must not lead to irritation in the covered tissue.
- the wound dressing should adhere well to the contoured body parts
- the wound dressing should be permeable to gas and water vapor, and should also allow the dressing to be combined with drugs and / or wound healing active substances (such as bactericides or growth factors).
- the wound dressing on which this application is based makes it possible to promote wound healing through the formation of an advantageous moist wound environment.
- the presence of at least a portion of the exudate is of primary importance in order to maintain a moist micro-environment in the immediate vicinity of the wound. Due to the wound dressing, the exudate is only partially removed from the surroundings of the wound. As a result, in the immediate environment of the wound, a certain level of moisture, which is conducive to successful wound healing, for example, through rapid granulation of the wound, is maintained.
- the wound dressing prevents the exudate from accumulating in certain places and, as a result, increases the likelihood of bacterial accumulation and skin maceration at these sites. As a result, the wound dressing reduces the risk of secondary bacterial infection.
- Wound dressings which have an adhesive layer and which are arranged to contact the wound surface are known in the art.
- adhesives that have a high affinity for the skin - such as acrylates - causes the wound dressing to stick to the wound, which can result in injury to the tissue formed during healing as the dressing is removed.
- Soft gels and elastomers especially those based on silicone or polyurethane, which are characterized by a pre-set, gentle adhesion behavior, are known to be useful as adjunct materials for wound care. These materials may be hydrophilic or hydrophobic, do not stick to the wound or wound bed, and may be designed to adhere to the skin surrounding the wound in a mild manner. That way, one becomes Painless removal of the wound dressing from the sensitive wound area favors.
- Such soft gels or elastomers are disclosed, for example, in the following patent documents: EP-A-0 251 810, US-A-4 921 704, US-A-6 051 747, WO-A-2007/113597, WO-A-2007/113453, Nevertheless, the use of these wound-compatible and skin-friendly materials in lamination with the required substrates presents difficulties, which are primarily that it may pose problems from a technical point of view, to anchor these materials to the respective substrate due to their poor cohesive behavior. Further disadvantages are the limited choice of suitable support components and the pronounced flow behavior of the starting materials required for the preparation, as long as they are not yet in a cross-linked state.
- the wound dressing disclosed herein has a structure with optimized skin-care ability, residue-free and painless removability (from the wound area) and dimensional stability, and has a pronounced ability to absorb liquids.
- the swelling and deformation of the absorption layer or of the absorption body, which are caused by the absorption of the exudate, may optionally be reduced, which causes the detachment of the body-contacting layer from the skin by curling-in particular at the edge of the skin Wound dressing - minimized.
- This detachment can lead to leakages of the wound dressing, which allow the penetration of bacteria or it can lead to delamination of the components in laminated wound dressings.
- the wound dressing described here can not tend to the mentioned crimping or delamination even after a larger intake of exudate.
- the wound dressing allows the wound exudate to be transferred unhindered into the interior of an absorbent body where it is collected. However, undesirable contact between the absorbent body and the wound is prevented.
- the wound dressing does not stick to the moist areas of the wound but only to intact skin. This will allow the dressing to be removed from the wound without creating trauma. In this case, the adhesion behavior with respect to the skin can be adjusted so that it meets the special requirements of the envisaged application.
- the wound dressing has the advantage that it can be produced inexpensively and in an easy manner, and the wound dressings produced by the production process open up further freedom with regard to the parameters characterizing them and to the choice of materials.
- the wound dressing is therefore ideal for wound care.

- the present application relates to a wound dressing for use in a
- Figure 1 shows a cross-section of one embodiment of the wound cover over a wound.
- the at least three planar components 12, 14, 19 on which the wound care system 10 of the present application is based consist of an absorption layer 14, a fibrous carrier material 19 and a wound contact layer of a silicone-based gel or elastomer 12 Layers are made of mixtures of different materials, and they do not necessarily have to be homogeneous.
- the absorption layer 14 may consist of a foamed polymeric material which may be incorporated in the particle 20, which absorbs the exudate particularly well and which, even when pressure is applied, essentially no longer release the absorbed exudate.
- Such particles 20 can - for example - be constructed from so-called. Superabs orbern.
- particles may be incorporated (not shown in Figure 1), for example, to control the mechanical properties, the hydrophilicity or Adhesive behavior needed.
- These particles may, for example, consist of organic or inorganic compounds, which may also be polymeric in nature.

- FIG. 2 shows the SEM image of a wound dressing according to the invention, which has an elastomer layer 12 which is provided with openings 34, wherein said layer is connected to a liquid and air permeable support 19, to which an absorption layer 14 connects.
- the wound care system or the wound dressing may have additional constituents or layers or coatings.
- a wound dressing that always has a dry exterior (i.e., the side facing away from the wound W or wound-contacting layer 12).
- dirt and bacteria can penetrate into the wound dressing from the outside of the dressing and in the worst case can penetrate to the wound.
- This goal can be achieved, for example, by the application of a liquid-impermeable continuous protective film 16 (also referred to below as a backing layer or film), wherein the backing layer or film 16 is practically vapor-permeable.
- This layer 16 which should typically be impermeable to bacteria, as noted, abuts the distal surface of the absorbent layer.
- the film is bound only to the distal surface of the absorption layer and in such a way that the film 16 can not penetrate into the pores, cells or other spaces.
- the backing layer may conveniently be transparent to allow assessment of the degree of filling or moisture of the wound dressing or the status of the wound without having to remove the overlay.
- the backing layer can be colored with coloring agents.
- the film has a thickness of 10 - 500 microns, and typically from 15 to 45 microns, in particular film thicknesses of 30 +/- 5 microns are used.
- Such films are known from the prior art and include, for example polyurethane-based films, such as can be obtained, inter alia, a polyurethane film of the Exopack Advanced Coatings (Wrexham, UK) under the product designation INSPIRE ® or elastomeric polyesters or mixtures of polyurethane with polyesters and / or polyvinyl chloride and polyether amide block copolymers.
- the backing layer may be a substantially water-repellent, water-vapor-permeable polyurethane foam such as that available from Scapa (Greater Manchester, UK) under the product name Medifix.
- a polyurethane film is used, since these films have good elastic properties and in particular have a good conformability and a high elasticity.
- Suitable films by themselves have a moisture to vapor transfer rate (MVTR) of 500 to 14600 gm " 2/24 hours, typically 1000 to 2700 gm " 2/24 hours at 38 0 C.
- MVTR moisture to vapor transfer rate
- higher MVTR values may be beneficial to temporally shift the saturation point of wound coverage to severely secreting wounds.
- Low MVTR levels may be beneficial in ensuring a moist microenvironment of the wound in low-secreting wounds.
- the backing layer may be laminated to the distal surface of the absorbent layer in any known manner.
- the lamination may be by heat or ultrasound, or it may be by means of an additional continuous or discontinuous adhesive layer disposed between the backing layer and the absorbent layer.
- the thickness of the entire layer - ie the film and optionally the carrier or the additional layer (s) - should be in a range of 5 to 2000 microns, and typically in a range of 5 to 1000 microns.
- the layer or outermost film should have a low coefficient of friction and, for example, not stick to textiles or garments, rub or - in general - interact negatively with textiles.
- the skin-closest layer 12 is formed, for example, by a hydrophobic layer based on a silicone gel or silicone elastomer (henceforth also referred to as a "silicone layer") having apertures, and this perforated layer is primarily intended to separate the wound W from the absorbent layer 14 This layer must remain mechanically stable and be removed from the wound area as far as possible without residue - even after prolonged contact with the exudate.
- Layers in contact with the wound can be made of silicone gels or silicone elastomers. These conveniently do not adhere to the wound, but may be designed to have variable adherence to the dry skin surrounding the wound.
- the wound dressing has a silicone layer which adheres significantly to the dry skin because the adhesive force is uniformly distributed by the silicone layer, no separation of epidermal cells or wound damage can be observed (this is the main drawback of harder adhesives). as well as on acrylic derivatives based adhesives - which have a high specific liability).
- Such silicones turn out to be completely immobile and they are not attacked by heat or body exudates.
- the silicone gels or silicone elastomers which form the wound-contacting layer can be prepared from two-component starting mixtures of silicones which cure to the desired extent upon contact.
- Such systems are known from the prior art - for example from EP-AO 251 810, EP-AO 300 620 or US-A-4 921 704.
- the systems described therein essentially comprise a component A, which is at least one Vinyl-substituted polydimethylsiloxane and a platinum catalyst comprises.
- Component B includes polydimethylsiloxanes having hydrogen atoms directly attached to the silicon atom.
- additives such as pigments, inhibitors or fillers - e.g. Silica - in both components - if desired - be included.
- the time required for the desired curing depends on various factors - such as the reaction temperature or the catalyst concentration or optionally of the presence of inhibitors - from. Even if substantially very similar starting components (educts) are used in the above-described method of presentation, the properties of the completely cured silicone layer can be influenced in a very wide variety of ways, for example by varying the ratios of components A and B, by the modification the stoichiometric ratios of the groups responsible for cross-linking - such as the vinyl groups and silicon-hydrogen groups, by the molecular weights of the polysiloxanes used or by the concentration of the optionally used fillers. Thus, silicone gels that are soft, highly adhesive and non-friable and that have significant skin adhesion can be made available.
- silicone elastomers can be reinforced with fillers, giving them a higher consistency.
- they prove to be more robust, harder with no or less stickiness and they do not adhere to the skin - at least not to the extent that would ensure a permanent adhesion to the skin.
- silicone gels mentioned are commercially available from NuSiI Technologies (Carpinteria, US) under the product designation MED-6345 or MED-6340 or from Dow Corning GmbH (Wiesbaden, DE) under the product designation Dow Corning® 7-9800 or from US Pat Company Wacker Chemie GmbH (Munich, DE) under the product name SiIGeI.

- silicone polymers and pressure-sensitive adhesives can be used as a wound contact layer - such as silanol-containing polyorganosiloxanes which are crosslinked in the presence of stannous octoate and / or prepared by heating.
- the silicone polymer may optionally have substituents which include, for example, polyethylene glycol or polyurethane as possible substituents.
- the properties of the silicone elastomer or gel can also be improved by blending a plurality of silicone elastomers or silicone gels, e.g. control the silicone elastomer MED 4905 and the silicone gel MED 6340.
- the silicone layer is typically perforated to allow sufficient transfer of moisture (exudate) and air - away from the wound or to the wound, air or oxygen.
- the number and geometry of the perforations 34 is generally determined by the intended use of the wound cover and is adaptable regardless of the structure of the other components of the wound dressing.
- silicone-based systems are preferred, other alternatives are the use of hydrophobic or hydrophilic polyurethane derivatives of gel or elastomeric nature such as e.g. LEVAGEL, which is available from Bayer AG (Leverkusen, DE).
- hydrophilic polyurethane gels such as those described e.g. in US-A-6,191,216, US-A-6,566,575 and EP-A-0 271 292.
- Another alternative is the use of partially or fully cured hydrophilic hydrogels - for example, acrylate or monosaccharide-based - or the use of skin-adhering elastomeric hydrocolloid compositions.
- the perforated gel or elastomer 12 is applied to a support 19 in a subsequent step.
- the support 19 is permeable to air and liquid and, by itself, has no significant ability to absorb liquids.

- the fibers of the carrier 19 penetrate partially (from 5 to 100 ⁇ m) into the elastomer or into the gel, which may have a positive effect on the strength of the compound.
- the degree of cure of the gel or elastomer during lamination with the carrier layer can be adjusted so that the partially crosslinked gel or elastomer layer can flow into the microscopic voids between the fibers. In this way it is possible to produce laminates which have a very good anchoring of the elastomer or the gel with the carrier, without necessitating the use of additional fixing adhesives (adhesives) or primers.

- a laminated wound dressing is made as follows:
- a fibrous polyurethane nonwoven with 0.15 mm thickness, with an air permeability of 520 l / m 2 s at 100 Pa and 40 g / m 2 weight, laminated.
- the lamination is carried out by a commercial industrial belt laminator Fa. Herbert Meyer GmbH in Rotz, Germany at a temperature setting of 175 0 C.
- the exposure time is about 6 seconds, with a gap setting of 3 millimeters.
- the laminate is thereby firmly joined, whereby the fiber structure and the air and water permeability of the PU nonwoven is retained.
- an non-crosslinked mixture of a commercially available 2-component addition-crosslinkable silicone gel of 3 mm (with a penetration number after curing for 30 minutes at 14O 0 C, as measured by GCA Precision penetrometer cone 19.5 g, 635 mm diameter foot, 15 seconds).
- the silicone mixture is uniformly applied by means of a brush on a metal strip with needles, the height of the needles surmounting the layer thickness of the silicone layer.
- the metal strip, which carries the silicone layer is then heated to a temperature of 120 - 18O 0 C, in order to accelerate the crosslinking of the silicone.
- the foam-fleece laminate is pressed with the side of the polyurethane non-woven fabric on the partially crosslinked silicone mixture by a pressure roller.
- the silicone layer of the resulting 3-layer laminate is further heated on the metal strip to complete the cross-linking.
- the 3-layer laminate is removed from the metal strip.
- the three-layer laminate is supple and easy to adjust.
- the silicone layer is reliably anchored on the fibrous web.
- An aqueous solution can flow unimpeded through the silicone and polyurethane nonwoven layers and is subsequently absorbed in the foam when a cup of water solution (Solution A, DIN 13726-1: 2002) is placed upside down on the silicone side of the laminate.
