Description

Wound covering, for increasing the nitric oxide concentration in wounds
The present invention discloses a wound covering and a method for increasing the nitric oxide concentration in a wound by means of a wound covering that contains fibres in which a percentage of particulate minerals and/or carbides is embedded.
Plasters are medical products that are applied to a wound and close the wound. The main purpose of a plaster is to prevent dirt and bacteria from entering the body, as well as to support the natural wound healing process.
A wound covering, commonly called a plaster, conventionally consists of a carrier that carries a wound dressing that forms the wound contact layer. The carrier is usually attached to the surface of the body via an applied skin-compatible adhesive, wherein the wound contact layer comes to lie over the wound to be covered. It is likewise possible to configure the wound covering to not be self-adhesive and to affix it on/over the wound by means of bandages.
The wound contact layer is usually the part of a wound covering that interacts with the wound. It is the part (surface area) of the wound dressing that faces the wound. Its function is to prevent, for example, fibres from the wound dressing from entering the wound or the carrier from sticking to the wound. The wound contact layer can consist of different materials, however polyethylene, polylactide, viscose nonwoven fabrics are conventionally used.
Due to the direct exchange with the body, it is advantageous if the wound contact layer has a high biocompatibility, as this avoids possible additional inflammatory processes and allergic reactions, resulting in a better wound healing process.
There are numerous terms for biocompatibility. In the context of the present invention, biocompatibility means: The ability of a material to perform its intended function (in this case, to aid the wound healing process) without causing undesirable local or systemic effects. The biocompatibility of a material depends not only on its intrinsic material properties (hydrophilicity, charge, mechanical properties, etc.), but rather also on the environment (site of use) and desired function. One possible way to improve the biocompatibility of a material is to change its surface.
Antimicrobial active agents have been known to persons skilled in the art for a long time. Basically, all substances above a certain concentration have a cell-damaging effect and thus also an antimicrobial effect against microbes (for example, bacteria, fungi). Antimicrobial active agents are characterized by the fact that the cell-damaging effect against microbes is greater than against the cells of a higher organism (human, mammal, fish, etc.).
A substance of great interest for wound healing, which not only promotes wound healing but also has antimicrobial properties, is nitric oxide (NO).
Nitric oxide is therefore known to contribute positively to wound healing through several mechanisms of action: - nitric oxide promotes angiogenesis: the blood vessels are their new formation is promoted. - nitric oxide has an anti-inflammatory effect: the immune system is stimulated. - nitric oxide has an antimicrobial effect: for example, against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus (including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) species).
By increasing nitric oxide production in the wound, blood circulation to the wound is also increased, which increases the oxygen content of the wound and effectively accelerates wound healing (Reference: https://doi.orq/10.1016/s0076-6879(05)96048-5, https://doi.orq/10.1038/s41598-017-11567-5 and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.niox.2009.10.006)
Plaster systems that release nitric oxide and thereby contribute to wound healing are already known from W02014188174A. Herein, the plaster system releases nitric oxide formed by redox reactions into the wound, resulting in a costly and complex product construction.
Natural minerals and carbides are known to reflect, to absorb, to emit electromagnetic radiation, to lead to interaction of wavelengths (shifting, amplification, extinction of wavelengths) as well as to polarization. Particularly preferred are minerals and carbides in the form of particles because they exhibit a particularly high surface energy. Particularly interesting is the shape and size of the particles, as these can effectively influence the effectiveness, for example, through the anisotropic influence of the particle shape.
Among the best known naturally occurring minerals are SiC, Si 2, CaC 2, TiO 2 , ZrO2 as well as A12 0 3 .
It is the task of the invention to provide a cost-effective wound covering that can increase the nitric oxide content in the wound by utilizing ambient radiation, in particular light and body heat.
The task is solved by means of a wound covering comprising - a carrier layer, - a wound dressing which is fixed on the carrier layer and which forms the wound contact layer with its free surface, - wherein the wound dressing has a content of synthetic fibres, - wherein a percentage of particulate minerals and/or carbides is embedded in the synthetic fibres, - wherein the fibres consist 90 - 99% by weight, based on the total weight of the synthetic fibres, of a polymer or mixtures of polymers from the group consisting of acrylates, acetates, elastanes (in particular, lycra, spandex), polyesters, polyamides (in particular, nylon), viscose (in particular, rayon), PU, PE, PET, PP, cellulose or semi-cellulose materials, - wherein the content of minerals and/or carbides is 1 - 10% by weight based on the total weight of the synthetic fibres, and - wherein the maximum particle size of the minerals and/or carbides is less than 1.5 mm, and - optionally an adhesive applied to the carrier layer for fixing the wound dressing to the carrier and/or fixing the wound covering to the skin.
The present invention offers the advantage that the heat of one's own body is used to increase nitric oxide production within the wound.
Traditionally, nitric oxide is produced enzymatically in wounds by macrophages and fibroblasts. In this process, nitric oxide can be produced from the guanidine group in arginine in an oxidative process. An alternative to this biologically internal process is the production of nitric oxide by radiation. For this purpose, nitrite-rich compounds are photolytically converted to nitric oxide on the skin. This too is a natural process and can be produced by UV-A radiation, nevertheless exposing wounds to UV can be counterproductive as it can often lead to scarring.
To circumvent this problem and at the same time to take advantage of the beneficial properties of nitric oxide, wound coverings according to the invention can be used to promote the self production of nitric oxide in the covered wound.
For this purpose, wound coverings according to the invention can be used, which wound coverings comprise a content of fibres that enable the absorption and reflection of electromagnetic radiation. Such fibres are known from WO 2020150493 Al. As a result, the UV-A rays are converted into other wavelengths and replaced by wavelengths in the NIR or FIR range, which promote the nitric oxide production of one's own body.
In another embodiment of the invention, the wound covering used in a wound dressing according to the invention is doped with minerals and/or carbides, in particular with SiC, Si 2 , CaC 2 , Ti 2
, ZrO2 and/or A12 0 3 , by embedding them in the intermediate spaces of the wound dressing, in the form of a lacquer layer that was applied to the wound dressing, or by incorporating them into the respective material of the wound contact layer.
A subject matter of a further invention is a method for increasing the nitric oxide concentration in a wound by means of a wound covering comprising: - a carrier layer, - a wound dressing which is fixed on the carrier layer and forms the wound contact layer with its free surface, - wherein the wound dressing comprises a content of SiC, Si 2 , CaC 2 , Ti 2 , ZrO 2
and/or A1 2 0 3 , and - optionally, an adhesive applied to the carrier layer. wherein the wound is covered with the wound covering.
The wound dressing in a wound covering according to the invention preferably has a special wound contact layer,
- which is characterized by biodegradability and high biocompatibility and/or - comprises a wound contact layer with anti-inflammatory properties and/or - comprises a wound contact layer with bacteriostatic properties.
According to the invention, it is advantageous to use a carrier system that is both breathable and provides a semi-occlusive barrier for moist wound healing.
A wound dressing according to the invention which promotes wound healing causes a favourable environment for wound healing by physical processes, increases blood circulation to the wound environment, increases the oxygen content of the wound by the release or production of nitric oxide using (body) heat radiation.
The nitric oxide release within a wound ensures better blood circulation thereof whereby faster healing is favoured.
In principle, all rigid, flexible and elastic sheet materials made of synthetic and natural raw materials are suitable as carrier materials. Examples include textiles such as woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, scrim or nonwoven fabrics, as well as meshes, films, foams and laminates made from the afore-listed materials, as well as papers.
Preferably, the carrier material is a film, a woven fabric or a nonwoven fabric, particularly preferably with a thickness of between 20 pm and 200 pm, especially with a grammage of 20 to 200
