Definitions

• the present invention relates to a wound dressing, in particular, to an improved wound dressing for reducing post-operative swelling of a body part of a human or animal patient, or for controlling blood loss from wounds.
• the invention also relates to a method for reducing post-operative swelling of a body member of a human or animal patient, or for controlling blood loss from wounds.
• Post-operative swelling results from the accumulation of bodily fluid around an operation wound. Post-operative swelling cannot be eliminated altogether because following an operation the wound needs a blood supply to enable healing which inevitably results in some leakage and, hence, swelling.
• bandages is known in the art in order to minimise postoperative swelling or to control blood loss.
• the use of bandages is appealing since they are generally versatile in that they can be readily adapted for use on different body members and on wounds of different sizes.
• bandages can be bulky and cumbersome. This is especially the case in relation to head injuries where most of the bandage employed does not come into contact with the wound but rather is around the head merely holding a small part of the bandage against the wound.
• wounds need to be checked periodically, to ensure that there is not excessive leakage of fluid from the wound.
• bandages are disposed of when a wound is checked and this is wasteful.
• WO2005/097022 discloses a post-operative head dressing comprising a rigid cap adapted to fit over the head of a patient, and a liner.
• the liner is a network of tubes of resilient material connected to a single opening through which gas may be introduced to pressurise the liner network. The liner expands against the cap to squeeze the head.
• GB 2435833 discloses a post-operative head dressing comprising a cap adapted to fit over the head of a patient.
• the cap is a patchwork of compartments of airtight flexible material which are evacuated during use, whereby atmospheric pressure compresses the flexible material.
• the compartments are filled with beads, preferably polystyrene beads, so that, on air evacuation, the cap not only becomes rigid, but also gently pressed against the scalp to inhibit post-operative swelling and/or bleeding from head wounds.
• a wound dressing comprising a sealed enclosure having at least one compartment; a plurality of spaced apart pillar-like structures positioned within the at least one compartment; and means for evacuating air from the at least one compartment, wherein the evacuation of air from the at least one compartment causes a reduction in the distance between at least two of the pillar-like structures.
• the reduction in the distance between at least two of the pillar-like structures has the effect of reducing the overall length of the bandage resulting in the exertion of pressure by the dressing to the wound in use thus restricting the amount of swelling that may occur.
• the present invention thus provides an improved wound dressing that stems swelling and bleeding of a wound.
• the pillar-like structures may be formed from any suitable material. Ideally the pillar-like structures are formed from either a rubber based material, a silicon based material or an elastomehc polymer.
• the pillar-like structures are spaced apart from each other in a predetermined arrangement.
• the way in which pressure can be exerted onto a body member when air is evacuated from the compartment can be controlled.
• arrangement of the pillar-like structures in long thin parallel strips will result in greater reduction along one axis than another.
• the pillar-like structures are evenly spaced within the compartment.
• an equal reduction in the distance between adjoining pillar-like structures will take place, hence resulting in the application of uniform pressure across a body part once air has been evacuated from the compartment.
• the pillar-like structures are cylindrical columns, however, the pillar-like structures may be formed of columns having any suitable cross- sectional geometry.
• the pillar-like structures could be triangular, rectangular, hexagonal etc in cross-section.
• each pillar-like structure is connected to a neighbouring pillar-like structure by a connecting member in order to define a lattice-like structure.
• Connecting the pillar-like structures to a neighbouring structure removes the need for re-adjusting the positions of the structures relative to each other after use, as is generally required in the prior art dressings mentioned above that incorporate bead structures.
• the connecting members may be integrally formed with the pillar-like structures. Alternatively the connecting members may be bonded with the pillar-like structures.
• the sealed enclosure comprises a first and second film layer.
• the first and second film layers may be formed of any suitable material. Ideally the first and second film layers are formed from a vacuum formable material such as PVC.
• first and second film layers are bonded together around their edges to define the sealed enclosure.
• the pillar-like structures are thus retained between the first and second film layers
• the first and second film layers may be bonded together by any suitable means, for example the film layers may be heat sealed, ultrasonically welded or glued together.
• the plurality of pillar-like structures are moveably retained between the first and second film layers.
• the plurality of pillar-like structures are retained in position between the first and second film layers by connection to the first and/or second film layer.
• the pillar-like structures may be retained in position between the first and second film layers by any suitable means, for example by a heat seal, an ultrasonic weld or glue.
• the plurality of pillar-like structures are integrally formed with at least one of the film layers.
• a portion of the first film layer is adapted to be drawn into the space between the at least two pillar-like structures when air is evacuated from the compartment.
• the dimensions of the wound dressing are reduced, causing a reduction in the distance between the at least two pillar-like structures.
• the wound dressing further comprises a frame portion for attaching the dressing to a head of a patient.
• the frame portion comprises a securing band for securing the dressing onto the head of a patient.
• the frame portion comprises means for adjusting the working length of the securing band.
• the means for adjusting the working length of the securing band allows the wound dressing to be used with different size heads.
• the means for adjusting the working length of the securing band comprises a pawl and ratchet mechanism.
• the pawl and ratchet mechanism may be a self limiting pawl and ratchet mechanism of the type known in the art.
• the means for adjusting the size of the securing band comprises a clip adjuster.
• the frame portion further comprises a retaining member which is adapted, in use, to restrict the removal of the wound dressing independently of the securing band.
• the frame portion comprises a flexible plastic material.
• the flexible plastic material is preferably a thermoplastic material, ideally an acrylonithle butadiene styrene (ABS) or a polypropene (PB).
• ABS acrylonithle butadiene styrene
• PB polypropene
• the means for evacuating air from the at least one compartment comprises a vacuum release valve.
• the means for evacuating air from the at least one compartment may further comprise a non-return valve in order to prevent the regression of air into the at least one compartment during the evacuation of air from the compartment.
• the wound dressing further comprises means for introducing air into the at least one compartment.
• the means for introducing air into the at least one compartment may be in the form of a hand pump or an inlet valve connectable to a compressor.
• a method of reducing post-operative swelling of a body member of a human or animal patient, or for controlling blood loss from wounds comprising the steps of:
• a headgear comprising a head covering portion and a frame portion comprising a securing band, wherein the frame portion further comprises at least one retaining member positioned on a side of the headgear which, in use, restricts the removal of the headgear independently of the securing band.
• the third aspect of the invention thus enables a headgear to be secured on the head of a user without the need of a chin strap as securement of the headgear will be provided by the securing band and the at least on retaining member.
• Figure 1 is a plan view of a first embodiment of a wound dressing according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the wound dressing of Figure 1 taken along line A-A in Figure 1 ;
• Figure 3a is a schematic view of a section of the wound dressing of Figure 1 showing the spacing between two pillar-like structures prior to evacuation of air from the compartment;
• Figure 3b is a schematic view of the section shown in Figure 3a following the evacuation of air from compartment;
• Figure 4 is a schematic view showing the application of a wound dressing according to the invention applied to an arm of a patient;
• Figure 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a wound dressing according to the invention in the form of a head wound dressing.
• FIG 6 is a partial side rear view of the wound dressing of Figure 5.
• the wound dressing (10) comprises a sealed enclosure (12) having at least one compartment (14); a plurality of spaced apart pillar-like structures (16) positioned within the at least one compartment (14); and means for evacuating air from the at least one compartment (not shown).
• the sealed enclosure (12) comprises a first film layer (22) and a second film layer (24) which are sealed together around their edges to define the sealed enclosure (12).
• the first and second film layers (22, 24) may additionally be bonded together at various points in order to define one or more further compartments within the sealed enclosure (12).
• the first and second film layers (22, 24) are made of PVC material and are heat sealed to one another to define the sealed enclosure (12) and/or compartments.
• the pillar-like structures (16) are substantially cylindrical in shape and are connected to a neighbouring structure by means of a connecting member (26).
• the pillars (16) and the connecting members (26) define a lattice-like structure.
• the pillars are made from a silicon based material and the connecting members (26) are made of a resilient material such as a flexible plastic material.
• the pillars (16) may be moveably retained between the first and second film layers (22, 24) or may be retained in position between the film layers (22, 24) by connection to the first and/or second film layer.
• the means for evacuating air from the at least one compartment is in the form of a vacuum release valve (not shown) having a non-return valve in order to prevent regression of air into the at least one compartment during evacuation of air from the compartment (14).
• the film layers (22, 24) provide a controlled and self-limiting decrease in length of the wound dressing (10) in one or two axis as air is expelled.
• the pillars (16) When air is reintroduced into the compartment (14), the pillars (16) are returned to their original spacing due to the resiliency of the connecting members (26) causing the connecting members (26) to straighten and hence push the pillars (16) away from each other.
• the pillars (16) are spaced apart from each other in a predetermined arrangement depending on requirements. That is to say the shape and spacing of the lattice elements (i.e. the pillars (16) and connecting members (26)) will determine how the wound dressing (10) changes when a vacuum is applied. For example, if the pillars (16) are arranged in a series of long thin strips that are parallel to one another there will be a greater reduction along the transverse axis than the longitudinal axis.
• the wound dressing (10) further comprises means for introducing air into the at least one compartment (not shown) which may be in the form of a hand pump or an inlet valve connectable to a compressor.
• a wound dressing according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown applied to an arm of a patient in order to reduce post-operative swelling of the arm of a patient.
• the wound dressing is first positioned around the post-operative wound and secured in place by a suitable means such as a band, a strap, VELCRO ® , tape or the like. Pressure is then applied onto the body member to constrict swelling of the body member by evacuating the at least one compartment of air. As described above, evacuation of air results in the film layers (22, 24) being pulled down into the space (20) between the pillars (16) results in the pulling of the pillars (16) closer together and a reduction of the overall dimensions of the wound dressing (10).
