Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wound dressing, a method of manufacturing a wound dressing, and in particular to a material for use as or in a wound dressing.
- Wound dressings are commonly manufactured from sheet materials. These materials include transparent films and adhesives and opaque foams and fibres. These materials generally retain their transparency or opacity upon fluid absorption, the exception being carboxymethylcellulose-based hydrofibre (which is initially opaque and becomes transparent when wet). Wound dressings which rely upon a foam element for exudate management are opaque and require removal and exchange for a new dressing during every wound inspection. This is a disadvantage of opaque dressings, for example, including a foam element. Foam-based dressings also have limited extensibility due to the mechanical properties inherent in a material of foam structure; this can cause problems when attempting to dress locations of high curvature. In spite of these performance disadvantages, the use of foam-based wound dressings or dressing elements dominates woundcare. This may be due to their excellent absorbency, low dry weight, cut-ability and mouldability. Limited extensibility is not restricted to foams; this is also a property of the films commonly applied in medical devices.
- the visibility through an opaque material can be increased by the creation of apertures through it.
- the creation of apertures for example by hole-punching, has the disadvantages of resulting in the generation of waste and also the mechanical weakening of the material.
- By forming through slits in a material these slits being capable of expanding to form apertures on extension of the material, we have been able to achieve both increased visibility of the wound and increased extensibility of the material, without significant material waste. In this manner, it is also possible to achieve extension of the slit to form a circular hole without mechanically weakening the material.
- a lattice comprising a material having at least one slit, the slit being capable of expansion into an aperture, the lattice having i) a first conformation, wherein the slit is substantially closed, and ii) a second conformation, wherein the lattice is stretched by the application of an extensive force expanding the slit to form an aperture having a first dimension.
- a lattice Material having a slit or plurality of slits is referred to as a lattice, and prior to extension of the material, the lattice is referred to as being in a "first conformation” or “initial conformation” or “closed lattice conformation” wherein the slits are substantially closed.
- a substantially closed slit is a slit which has a conformation that allows no or substantially no visual inspection of the wound through the lattice with the naked eye.
- the material is a polyurethane foam or a silicone elastomer, for example.
- the cutting of a largely two-dimensional or flat material and a three-dimensional material to form slits can be achieved by any means known in the art, for example laser cutting or blade pressing.
- the cutting method can be a batch process or continuous process.
- the cutting arrangements of two-dimensional material are preferably two-dimensional and along the x and y plane.
- the cutting arrangements of three-dimensional material are preferably three- dimensional and along the x, y and z planes.
- the material may be cut so that the slits form a parallel, staggered, patterned or random arrangement.
- Cuts are not restricted to any particular geometry; they may be straight-edged or curved.
- Straight-edged cuts include uni- directional arrangements, where all cuts are parallel, and multidirectional arrangements, where all cuts are non-parallel.
- Curved- cuts include arrangements radiating in an outwardly direction from a central point of the material and describing a circumference of a circle.
- the geometry of the cutting arrangement will also alter the mechanical properties of the material. Each different cutting geometry will provide a lattice having somewhat different mechanical properties and thus provide lattices of different flexibility and extensibility.
- the amount of material removed to form the lattice is therefore, for example, less than about 50% of the initial material volume, more preferably less than about 10% of the initial material volume, and ideally, less than about 1 % of the initial material volume.
- the excise of material to form the lattice gives rise to no or substantially no visual removal of material.
- the surface area of the resulting lattice can be extended, to about 25% - 75% greater than the surface area of the original material. Extension of the lattice opens the slits forming a plurality of apertures/structural voids of a first dimension.
- the lattice in this extended form is referred to as an open lattice or having an "open lattice conformation", “second conformation” or “extended conformation”.
- the open lattice is established by an extensive force prior to or immediately prior to and during attachment to the site of application, for example, a wound site.
- the lattice has a top or non-wound contacting surface and a bottom or wound contacting surface.
- the open lattice can be made from any suitable extendible material, for example, polyurethane foam.
- the extensive force can be applied to the lattice in a unidirectional, bidirectional or isotropical manner and can be achieved by any means known to the skilled artisan, for example by drawing between rollers running at differential speeds.
- a process of extending the material in a controlled manner is considered particularly advantageous as this allows apertures/structural voids of predetermined dimensions and of particular interest to be formed.
- the lattice is extended to 25-75% of its maximum geometrical extension limit.
- the maximum geometrical extension limit is defined as the point at which the rate of change of the open volume or area of the apertures is zero or substantially zero. More preferably, the lattice is extended to maximise the open volume or area of the apertures, which may not necessarily be related to the maximum geometric extension.
- the lattice can be retained in this conformation by the use of a retaining means.
- the retaining means may be adhered to a surface of the open lattice in any conventional manner.
- the retaining means can be a physical entity, such as a structural element, for example.
- the structural element can be a mechanically stiff backing layer, for example, the backing layer being stiff enough to maintain the extended open lattice conformation prior to and during application of the lattice to the wound site.
- the backing layer may comprise any suitable material, but is preferably plastic or paper. Additionally the backing layer is easily releasable from the material.
- the release of the backing layer maybe facilitated by a release tab or gripping portion associated with the backing layer.
- the backing layer can be applied directly or indirectly to the open lattice, thus retaining and supporting it in the extended, or second or open lattice conformation prior to and during application.
- the backing layer has a sufficient mechanical stiffness to resist the inherent contractile force of the open lattice when the extensive force is removed, thereby retaining the lattice in the extended or open lattice conformation.
- the extensive force applied to the lattice to form the open lattice is translated into a contractile force when the extensive force is removed.
- more than about 10% of the extensive force is translated to a contractile force upon removal of the retaining means.
- more than about 50% of the extensive force is translated to a contractile force upon removal of the retaining means.
- a contractile force can be applied to the site of application.
- the use of such a lattice at a wound site, either directly or indirectly (for example, as part of a wound dressing) has the advantage of promoting wound closure, as a result of the contractile forces pulling the edges of the wound together.
- the open lattice Upon removal of the retaining means, the open lattice preferably recovers more than 1 % of the difference between its dimensions prior to extension and those same dimensions post- extension. More preferably, the open lattice recovers more than about 5% of the difference, and ideally recovers more than 10% of the difference.
- the invention is also concerned with the application of the open lattice both internally and externally of the body and on normal or injured tissue such that, following application of the open lattice, the extensive force can be released and transmitted to the attached tissue as a compressive force.
- lattices extensible along a single axis are preferred, as these lattices will impart contraction along a single axis, which when the lattice is appropriately position on the wound will be directed perpendicular to the line of the incision.
- lattices extensible along multiple axes are preferred.
- the lattice is extensible in a mechanically isotropic manner, enabling wound contraction to be directed towards the centre of the wound.
- the backing layer can be fixed to the non-wound contact surface of the open lattice.
- the backing layer is a transparent material so that visual inspection of the wound is possible through the apertures of the lattice.
- the lattice can be of a material which allows it to also function as the retaining means.
- the lattice can be made from so-called SMART materials (also referred to as shape-memory materials). The shape of SMART materials can be altered in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as stress, temperature, moisture, pH, electric or magnetic fields.
- the material is a SMART material.
- the lattice formed from the SMART material is extended into and retained in the second or open lattice conformation by the application of one or more external stimuli. Post-application of the open lattice to a wound site, further controlled exposure of the open lattice to an external stimulus would result in the open lattice fully or partially contracting to its original, "remembered" dimensions or first conformation. In a wound site, the open lattice could also be initiated or encouraged to contract by exposure to the moisture content of a wound exudate.
- the structural element can be a transparent film, for example a polyurethane film, fixedly or removably applied to the non-wound contact surface of the open lattice or to the non-wound contact surface and wound contact surface of the open lattice.
- the film is not as structurally rigid or stiff as the backing layer so that it can not hold the open lattice in a sufficiently extended form to provide a contractile force to promote closure of the wound if removed. Instead, the film keeps a more relaxed open conformation so that the slits remain apertures to allow visual inspection of the wound.
- the film of this embodiment also acts as a bacterial barrier which is particularly important when the lattice is administered to external wounds.
- both the film and backing layer may be used.
- the backing layer forms the external non-wound contacting surface and may be removable or fixed.
- the lattice can be extended by hand. Gripping portions or tabs maybe provide at a periphery of the material to give the hand purchase, for example, aiding extension of the lattice by hand.
- the gripping tabs can be located to allow a more effective extension of the lattice and formation of apertures or structural voids from the slits.
- the gripping portions can be removed from the lattice by cutting, for example. This will prevent the free ends of the gripping portions from snagging.
- the lattice also has a polyeurethane film attached to both the wound and non-wound contact surfaces of the lattice. The polyurethane film will extend with the lattice to form an open lattice and will also act as a bacterial barrier.
- the lattice is a wound dressing.
- the lattice can form a part (for example a layer) of a wound dressing.
- a moisture permeable top-film can be applied to the non- wound contacting surface of the lattice (for example, by heat lamination), and the removable backing layer applied to the top-film.
- the top film can be a polyurethane film, for example.
- a perforated layer of polyurethane film can be applied to the wound contact surface of the polyurethane foam lattice. The polyurethane film applied in this way will prevent the polyurethane foam sticking to the wound which may otherwise occur.
- a wound dressing consisting of or comprising the lattice of the invention.
- the lattice material is a polyurethane foam and the retaining means is a backing sheet adhered temporarily to a non wound contacting surface of the lattice (for example, by a suitable adhesive or surface energy).
- the backing sheet is of a plastic material (for example, a polymeric film) or paper material (for example, reinforced paper or cardboard). The backing sheet is removed from the open lattice once the wound dressing has been applied to the wound by any suitable means known in the art, for example, by adhesive, sutures, staples or topical pressure.
- the material is sufficiently elastic to allow a return, unaided or unhindered, of the open lattice to the first conformation, wherein the slits are substantially closed, after being stretched, deformed, compressed, or expanded.
- Materials conventionally utilised in wound dressings such as foams (for example, polyurethane foam), silicone-based material (for example, a silicone elastomer), hydrofibre, films, non-woven and woven materials, demonstrate such elastic properties and are suitable materials.
- Such elasticity results in the material exerting a spring-like contractile force following the removal of the extensive force, for example, by the removal of the retaining means.
- This contractile force results in the open lattice forming a "third conformation” or “contracted conformation”, in which the apertures/structural voids are contracted to a smaller, second dimension.
- the material is a monolith.
- a wound dressing comprising a material having; i) an initial conformation, ii) an expanded conformation resulting from the application of an extensive force to the material, wherein the removal of the extensive force causes a contraction of the material, and iii) the wound dressing including means for retaining the material in the expanded conformation.
- the material of this aspect of the invention is sufficiently expandable and contractible (partially or fully) from and to an initial conformation, without the requirement for the provision of slits.
- the material can have elastic properties which closely resemble, for example, LYCRA ® ( Invista, US).
- the material is provided with at least one slit and preferably with a plurality of slits.
- a method of promoting the closure of a wound comprising the steps of; a) providing a material having a at least one slit to form a lattice, the slit being capable of expansion into an aperture, the lattice having: i) a first conformation, wherein the slit is substantially closed, and, ii) a second conformation, wherein the slit is expanded into an aperture having a first dimension, iii) retaining the lattice in the second conformation prior to application to a wound site, iv) applying the lattice in its second conformation to the wound site, and, optionally, c) allowing the lattice to retract from the second conformation towards the first conformation after application to the wound site.
- the open lattice can be applied directly to a wound.
- the open lattice can form a part (for example a layer) of a wound dressing which is applied to a wound.
- the invention is particularly suited for application to topical and internal wounds, for example traumatic injuries, surgical incision wounds and open chronic wounds.
- Surgical wounds include those that are the result of plasties or maxillofacial operations, mastectomy or caesarean section.
- the direction of the contractile force is influenced by the geometry of cut in the material to form the lattice, the geometry of extension of the lattice and the geometry of the attachment points between the lattice or wound dressing and the tissue.
- the open lattice or wound dressing can be applied to the wound site using any suitable technique and attachment means known in the art, for example, adhesive, sutures, staples or topical pressure.
- Topical pressure can be provided by compression bandaging or atmospheric pressure acting upon a cavity of reduced pressure relative to the external atmosphere. Attachment can be achieved at specific locations on the open lattice or wound dressing or may cover the entire surface thereof. For topical applications, attachment is preferably achieved by an area exceeding 50% of the total area of the open lattice or wound dressing in contact with the site of application. More preferably, for topical applications, attachment is achieved by a pressure sensitive adhesive, for example an acrylate-based adhesive. Typically, the adhesive forms a layer on the wound contact surface of the open lattice or wound dressing.
- a method of manufacturing a wound dressing comprising the steps of, (a) providing a first material,
- the method of manufacture includes the step of forming at least one slit and more preferably a plurality of slits in the material to form a lattice.
- a method of manufacturing a wound dressing comprising the steps of,
- the method of manufacture includes the steps of, (b) applying an extensive force to at least part of the lattice to establish the lattice in an extended or open conformation, and (c) retaining the lattice in the extended or open conformation by use of a retaining means.
- Examples of materials for use as the first material include foams, such as polyurethane foam and silicone-based elastomers.
- a suitable material for use as the retaining means is a polymeric film, such as polyurethane film.
- suitable materials include polyester, polyethylene and polypropylene which can be perforated or extruded net.
