Patent

CA 2266383

An improved wound dressing (10) is provided which comprises a backing layer (20) bearing a reference marking (25), a hydrocolloid layer (30), and a release layer (40). The hydrocolloid (30) swells in use. This swelling can be seen or felt through the backing layer (20). When the swelling extends to or beyond the reference marking (25), the dressing (10) should be changed to prevent leaking. Thus, the dressing (10) can be left in place for as long as possible, but not so long as to damage the underlying skin.

Pansement (10) amélioré pour plaie, comprenant une couche dorsale (20) à marquage de référence (25), une couche hydrocolloïdale (30), et une couche de libération (40) de substances. L'hydrocolloïde (30) gonfle à l'utilisation, ce gonflement pouvant être observé ou ressenti à travers la couche dorsale (20). Lorsque ledit gonflement s'étend jusqu'au marquage de référence (25) ou au-delà, il convient de changer le pansement (10) pour éviter les fuites. Ce type de pansement (10) peut être maintenu en place aussi longtemps que possible, mais pas après une durée au-delà de laquelle la peau sous-jacente serait endommagée.
