Definitions

  • the invention relates to construction materials for medical support bandages, which in addition to transverse elasticity also have longitudinal elasticity, a method for their production and their use.
  • the construction materials according to the invention generally consist of a carrier layer which is coated and / or impregnated with a reactive resin.
  • construction materials according to the invention can be used for stiffening, shaping and sealing in the medical field.
  • EP-A-0021004 describes i.a. orthopedic support bandages, which are only stretchable in the transverse direction. As a result, wrinkle-free donning, particularly with angled limbs, is hardly possible.
  • the teaching of US-A-4688563 can only partially overcome this disadvantage, since it teaches the production of orthopedic support bandages which also have a longitudinal extension, but the bandages described there are produced on the basis of glass fibers, as a result of which the disadvantages associated with glass fibers are produced how bad X-ray transparency and strong tendency to dust when removing the dressing etc. have to be accepted.
  • Construction materials which consist of a flexible carrier which is coated or impregnated with a water-hardening reactive resin are already known.
  • DE-A 23 57 931 may be mentioned, in which construction materials made of flexible supports, such as knitted fabrics, woven fabrics or nonwovens, are described, which are coated or impregnated with water-curing reactive resins, such as isocyanates or prepolymers modified by isocyanate groups.
  • water-curing reactive resins such as isocyanates or prepolymers modified by isocyanate groups.
  • glass fiber substrates have been used (US-A-45 02 479).
  • these known carrier materials are only stretchable in the transverse direction, but practically rigid in the longitudinal direction in order to achieve greater stability (US-A-45 02 479, column 3, lines 45 to 47).
  • a disadvantage of the carrier materials, which can only be stretched in the transverse direction, is the occurrence of folds when the material is applied to an uneven surface with conical elevations or variable radii, e.g. a human leg.
  • Construction materials based on glass fibers as described in US-A-46 09 578, have the disadvantage of poor X-ray transparency. They also form sharp edges at the break points, which lead to injuries. Another disadvantage is the occurrence of glass dust during the manufacture and removal of the construction material.
  • Fibers other than glass fibers have much lower moduli of elasticity, so that no beams with comparable longitudinal and transverse elongation are obtained.
  • Orthopedic support bandages have been found which are impregnated and / or coated with a water-hardening reactive resin, characterized in that they consist of organic fibers with a modulus of elasticity of 900 to 2000 daN / mm2 and, prior to curing, an extensibility in the longitudinal direction of 15-200% exhibit.
  • the support bandages according to the invention have not only an elongation in the transverse direction but also an elongation in the longitudinal direction.
  • the longitudinal direction generally means the processing direction of the textile, for example in the direction of the chain or the wales.
  • Transverse direction generally means perpendicular to the processing direction of the textile, i.e. in the direction of the weft or course.
  • the support bandages according to the invention can be in various geometric shapes. They are preferably in tape form, the long side of the tape corresponding to the processing direction of the textile.
  • Organic fibers for the support bandages according to the invention are polyester fibers.
  • the fibers for the support bandages according to the invention are known per se (synthetic fibers, pages 3 to 10 and 153 to 221 (1981), Verlag Chemie, Weinheim).
  • the thread system which is preferably incorporated in the longitudinal direction, enables elastic stretching in the longitudinal direction after a shrinking process.
  • Polyfile textured polyester filament yarns are used to achieve elongation.
  • the elastic properties of these yarns are based on the permanent crimping and torsion of the threads obtained in the course of the texturing process, which is achieved by the thermoplastic properties of the materials.
  • All types of texturing threads can be used, e.g. HE yarns (highly elastic crimp yarns), set yarns, HB yarns (high-rise yarns).
  • the thread system incorporated in the longitudinal direction is held together by connecting threads, both staple fiber yarns and polyfile filament yarns (plain yarn) made of polyester can be used.
  • the strength of these yarns is characterized by the modulus of elasticity (modulus of elasticity).
  • the orthopedic support bandages according to the invention generally have an extensibility in the longitudinal direction of 15 to 200%, preferably 15 to 80%, before the reactive resin cures. Elongation in the longitudinal direction means the change in length compared to the fully relaxed support bandage, which is achieved when the orthopedic support bandage is loaded with 10 N per cm width in the longitudinal direction. Such measurements can be carried out, for example, in accordance with DIN 61 632 (April 1985).
  • the support bandages according to the invention generally have an extensibility in the transverse direction of 20 to 300%, preferably 40 to 200%, before the reactive resin has cured.
  • the orthopedic support bandages according to the invention generally have a weight per square meter of 40 to 300 g, preferably 100 to 200 g.
  • Textiles made of fibers are used as the support bandages according to the invention, the elongation of which has been adjusted by a shrinking process.
  • the orthopedic support bandages according to the invention consist in the longitudinal direction of polyfilen, textured polyester filament threads and in the transverse direction of fibers of high-strength polyester fibers, preferably polyethylene terephthalates, with an elastic modulus of 900 to 2000 daN / mm2.
  • the modulus of elasticity can be determined by methods known per se (synthetic fibers, pages 63 to 68 (1981), Verlag Chemie, Weinheim).
  • the processing forms of the orthopedic support bandages according to the invention can be woven, knitted, knitted or non-woven. Knitted fabrics such as warp knitted fabrics, knitted knitted fabrics and knitted fabrics are mentioned. Raschel knitted fabrics are particularly preferred.
