Abstract
Abstract A flexible burn dressing product contains a hydrogel material in a gel-like phase. The burn dressing product is comprised of several layers including a burn dressing and a release layer. The burn dressing is comprised of a bacterial barrier layer coated with a bonding layer, a reticulated layer impregnated with a hydrogel material, and a hydrogel material layer. A dimensionally stable backing member may also be adhesively attached to the bacterial barrier layer to help the burn dressing maintain its shape until it is applied to a patient. When the burn dressing product is to be applied to a burn site, the release layer is removed to expose the hydrogel material layer. The remaining layers of the burn dressing product are then applied to the burn site, with the hydrogel material layer directly contacting the burn. Once these layers are in place, the dimensionally stable backing member is removed.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A burn dressing product for a burn, comprising: a burn dressing including a bacterial barrier layer having a first side and a second side, a bonding layer coated on said first side of said bacterial barrier layer, a reticulated layer being sufficiently absorbent to be impregnated with a polyurethane hydrogel material, said reticulated layer being selected from the group consisting of foams, scrim and non-woven materials, said reticulated layer having a first side and a second side, wherein said second side of said reticulated layer is secured to said bacterial barrier layer by means of said bonding layer, and a polyurethane hydrogel material layer on said first side of said impregnated reticulated layer; and a release liner overlying said hydrogel material layer and secured to said first side of said reticulated layer by means of said hydrogel material layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
