Abstract

To provide a wound dressing having absorbability and improved so as not to be adhere to wounds, a wound dressing 10 is provided, which includes a perforated material 20 having a top face and a bottom face and having plural through-holes 21, and an absorbent material 30 disposed on the top face of the perforated material, and in which at least the bottom face of the perforated material 20 is coated with a silicone resin 40 except leaving at least a part of the through-holes so as not to block up all the through-holes, and at least a part 31 of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the silicone resin 40, and to allow fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material.

Claims

1. A wound dressing comprising a perforated material having a top face and a bottom face and having plural through-holes, and an absorbent material disposed on the top face of the perforated material;

wherein at least the bottom face of the perforated material is coated with a low-adhesive resin except leaving at least a part of the through-holes so as not to block up all the through-holes,

at least a part of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin,

and allowing fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material.

3. The wound dressing according to claim 1, wherein the low-adhesive resin is a silicone resin.

4. The wound dressing according to claim 1, wherein the low-adhesive resin is an adhesive gel.

5. The wound dressing according to claim 1, wherein the low-adhesive resin penetrates from the bottom face of the perforated material into the inside thereof so as to reach the top face of the perforated material.

6. The wound dressing according to claim 1, wherein the part of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin in such a degree that the coating does not interfere with fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material.

7. The wound dressing according to claim 1, wherein nearly the entire bottom face of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin except leaving almost all the through-holes so as not to block up almost all the through-holes, and the part of the absorbent material that faces almost all the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin.

8. The wound dressing according to claim 1, wherein the perforated material has an average through-holes cross section of from 0.01 to 10 mm² and a perforated rate of from 5 to 70%.

14. The wound dressing according to claim 3, wherein the low-adhesive resin is an adhesive gel.

16. The wound dressing according to claim 3, wherein the low-adhesive resin penetrates from the bottom face of the perforated material into the inside thereof so as to reach the top face of the perforated material.

17. The wound dressing according to claim 4, wherein the low-adhesive resin penetrates from the bottom face of the perforated material into the inside thereof so as to reach the top face of the perforated material.

19. The wound dressing according to claim 3, wherein the part of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin in such a degree that the coating does not interfere with fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material.

20. The wound dressing according to claim 4, wherein the part of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin in such a degree that the coating does not interfere with fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material.

2. A wound dressing comprising a perforated material having a top face and a bottom face and having plural through-holes, and an absorbent material disposed on the top face of the perforated material;

wherein the top face and the bottom face of the perforated material are coated with a low-adhesive resin except leaving at least a part of the through-holes so as not to block up all the through-holes,

at least a part of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin,

the perforated material and the absorbent material are adhered to each other with the low-adhesive resin overlying the top face of the perforated material,

and allowing fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material.

12. The wound dressing according to claim 2, wherein the low-adhesive resin is a silicone resin.

13. The wound dressing according to claim 2, wherein the low-adhesive resin is an adhesive gel.

15. The wound dressing according to claim 2, wherein the low-adhesive resin penetrates from the bottom face of the perforated material into the inside thereof so as to reach the top face of the perforated material.

18. The wound dressing according to claim 2, wherein the part of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin in such a degree that the coating does not interfere with fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material.

9. A method for producing a wound dressing which comprises a perforated material having a top face and a bottom face and having plural through-holes, and an absorbent material disposed on the top face of the perforated material, and in which at least the bottom face of the perforated material is coated with a low-adhesive resin except leaving at least a part of the through-holes so as not to block up all the through-holes, and at least a part of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin, and to allow fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material, the method comprising the following steps:

(P1) a step of applying a low-adhesive resin to a release sheet,

(P2) a step of putting a perforated material on the coated face of the low-adhesive resin before curing and putting an absorbent material on the top face of the perforated material to thereby coat the perforated material and the absorbent material with the low-adhesive resin,

(P3) a step of heating and curing the low-adhesive resin.

11. The method for producing a wound dressing according to claim 9, wherein the low-adhesive resin is a silicone resin.

10. A method for producing a wound dressing which comprises a perforated material having a top face and a bottom face and having plural through-holes, and an absorbent material disposed on the top face of the perforated material, and in which the top face and the bottom face of the perforated material are coated with a low-adhesive resin except leaving at least a part of the through-holes so as not to block up all the through-holes, and at least a part of the absorbent material facing the through-holes of the perforated material is coated with the low-adhesive resin, and the perforated material and the absorbent material are adhered to each other with the low-adhesive resin overlying the top face of the perforated material, and to allow fluid penetration from the bottom face side of the perforated material into the inside of the absorbent material, the method comprising the following steps:

(P1) a step of applying a low-adhesive resin to a release sheet,

(P2A) a step of putting a perforated material on the coated face of the low-adhesive resin before curing and putting an absorbent material on the top face of the perforated material, and to make the low-adhesive resin penetrate from the bottom face of the perforated material into the inside thereof so as to reach the top face of the perforated material, whereby the perforated material and the absorbent material are adhered to each other with the low-adhesive resin, and the perforated material and the absorbent material are coated with the low-adhesive resin,

(P3) a step of heating and curing the low-adhesive resin.
