Description
_1_ 2035490 BURN DRESSING PRODUCT
Background of the Invention This invention relates to burn dressings and, more particularly, to a flexible burn dressing product containing a hydrogel substance particularly useful in the active therapy of thermal, chemical, electrical, and similar wounds conventionally classified as "burns."
Burn injuries require a unique combination of therapy and dressing because the physiologic functions of the skin are absent or, at best, materially impaired.
Body fluids and their essential components are continuously lost. The natural barrier characteristics normally provided by one's skin, of preventing invasion of harmful micro-organisms and other noxious agents, are no longer functional. Potentially fatal infections are a continuous serious threat to burn patients. The debris reservoir of necrotic tissue saturated with seeping wound exuaate remains on the wound site, harboring and nourishing agents of infection whose presence and by-products interfere with the regeneration of viable, functioning, epithelial tissue having skin organ properties.
The basic tenets of therapy required to treat burns are specifically directed toward providing and improving the impaired physiologic functions of the skin.
Of initial concern is the removal of the necrotic products of injury. Also of great importance is providing a barrier to bacterial invasion from the environment while controlling the contamination already present. Finally, burn therapy is directed toward stemming the loss of vital body fluids.
Burn injuries and the like have been treated at various stages by application of sterile coverings in the 203~4~0 form of pastes or creams, gauze wrappings, natural and synthetic membranes, films, or sponges. Except in the case of skin grafting, the approach has been to prevent adhesion of the covering materials to the wound site while encouraging adhesion of the burn exudate to the covering materials.
One existing burn exudate absorption method is to apply a polyurethane polymer composition to the burn site. As disclosed in Gould, U.S. Patent No. 4,156,066, and Gould, U.S. Patent No. 4,156,067, issued May 22, 1979, a polyurethane polyether L~esin may be applied to a burn as a powder. However, powder tends to attract fluids from the burn wound and deteriorates as the wound fluids are absorbed, resulting in lumping and uneven application.
Additionally, such deteriorated lumps are difficult to remove from a burn site without damaging new cell tissue at the burn site.
A burn dressing which attempts to minimize fluid loss from the burn site is disclosed in U.S. Patent No.

However, powder tends to attract fluids from the burn wound and deteriorates as the wound fluids are absorbed, resulting in lumping and uneven application.
Additionally, such deteriorated lumps are difficult to remove from a burn site without damaging new cell tissue at the burn site.
A burn dressing which attempts to minimize fluid loss from the burn site is disclosed in U.S. Patent No.
3,648,692, issued to Wheeler on March 14, 1972. The Wheeler burn dressing discloses an open cell foam material which can be applied directly to a burn wound site.
However, while it is desirable to stem the loss of vital body fluids from the already weakened patient, the Wheeler burn dressing eliminates or minimizes the loss of all fluids, even fluids contaminated with necrotic tissue, from the burn site. Also, new cell tissue forming at the burn site may adhere to the sponge-like material, making it difficult to remove the burn dressing from the burn site without damaging new cell tissue. Consequently, the Wheeler burn dressing serves merely as a sedentary covering for allowing the b~~rn to heal, rather than actively expediting the healing.
Aqueous moisture absorbing materials, such as a polyethylene glycol liquid curing agent as disclosed in Spence, U.S. Patent No. 4,226,232, issued October 7, 1980, are easier to remove from the wound site, but cannot be _3_ 2~3~4~~
sterilized by irradiation due to the formation of free radicals within the aqueous material. Another aqueous absorbing material used to absorb wound exudate, hydrophilic polymer, is disclosed in Rawlings et al, U.S.
Patent No. 4,657,006, issued April 14, 1987. In the Rawlings et al reference. a wound dressing is described which comprises a hydrophilic polymer having moisture vapor permeability characteristics. A problem with the Rawlings et al wound dressing is that the wound exudate absorbed by the hydrophilic polymer hardens the polymer, allowing pockets to develop between the polymer and the wound, providing an excellent environment for bacteria proliferation.
Known aqueous moisture absorbing wound dressing systems have additional problems, in that the aqueous material is generally contained in the center portion of a wound dressing, with a bulky adhesive border, such as a foam border. Problems with such borders include decreased comfort, conformity and adhesion as well as the existence of a "lifting edge" that can catch on clothes or bed sheets, thereby exposing the wound to bacteria and infection. In addition, burn sites typically have very little healthy skin to which such a dressing may be adhered.
An existing method of overcoming the problems associated with bulky wound dressings is disclosed in Potts, U.S. Patent No. 3,526,224 issued September 1, 1970. The Potts reference discloses a wound dressing comprised of an elastomeric polyurethane film which acts as a second skin during the wound healing process. One problem with the Potts wound dressing, however, is that the "second skin" requires surgery to remove it after the wound has healed.
Hence, it would be desirable to provide a burn a5 dressing which eliminates or minimizes vital and healthy fluid loss from a burn site while simultaneously removing contaminated or infected wound fluids. It would also be _4_ ~~3~49~i desirable to provide a burn dressing product which could be readily available for application to a burn wound. It would further be desirable to provide such a burn dressing which contains wound debridement characteristics but does not adhere to the burn site, thereby providing means to expedite healing. In addition, it would be desirable to provide a burn dressing which could be removed neatly and, more importantly, without adhering to the new cell tissue forming at the burn site. Finally, it would be desirable 14 to provide such a burn dressing product which could be comfortably applied to any area on a body.
Summary of the Invention The present invention meets these needs by providing a thin-film burn dressing containing an aqueous hydrogel material, partially impregnated in a reticulated layer which may be of any suitable material including foam, scrim or non-woven material. The present invention also provides a method of manufacture and application of a burn dressing product which includes the burn dressing.
The burn dressing product herein can be manufactured to any desirable size to provide a wound debridement dressing for any size burn site. The burn dressing herein is adhesive only to the extent that exuding wound fluids are absorbed, and non-adhesive upon removal from the burn site.
The burn dressing produce of the present invention comprises a burn dressing which includes a bacterial barrier layer having a first side and a second side; a bonding layer, the bonding agent positioned on the first side of the bacterial barrier layer; a reticulated layer having a first side and a second side, the reticulated later being impregnated with a hydrogel material; and a hydrogel material layer on the first side of the impregnated layer. The burn dressing product further comprises a release liner overlying the hydrogel material layer and secured to the first side of the impregnated layer by means of the hydrogel material layer.
A further embodiment of the burn dressing product may include a dimensionally stable backing member having an adhesive layer, the backing member secured to the second side of the bacterial barrier layer by means of the adhesive layer. In a preferred embodiment, the bacterial barrier layer comprises a polyurethane material, the release liner is silicone coated, and the bonding layer comprises a medical grade acrylic adhesive. However, the bonding layer may be any suitable bonding means such as adhesive or flame bonding. Also, the hydrogel material of the burn dressing product comprises from about 15% to about 30% by weight of a polyhydric alcohol, from about 8%
to about 14% by weight of an isophorone diisocyanate terminated prepolymer, from about 5% to about 10% by weight of a polyethylene oxide based diamine, up to about 1% by weight of a salt, and the balance water.
In a preferred embodiment of this burn dressing product, the hydrogel comprises 17% by weight of the polyhydric alcohol, 12% by weight of the isophorone diisocyanate terminated prepolymer, 9% by weight of the polyethylene oxide baseCt diamine, 1% by weight of the salt, and the balance water.
The present invention also provides a,method of manufacturing the burn dressing product. Initially, a release liner, a reticulated layer such as foam, scrim, or non-woven material, and a bacterial barrier layer are provided, each layer having a first side and a second side. The first side of the bacterial barrier layer is then coated with a bonding layer, after which the second .:
side of the reticulated layer is bonded to the first side of the bacterial barrier layer, wherein the bonding layer is located between the reticulated layer and the release liner. The reticulated layer is impregnated with a hydrogel material, the hydrogel material forming a smooth hydrogel layer on the first side of the impregnated layer.
The second side of the release liiner is applied to the first side of the impregnated layer, wherein the smooth hydrogel material layer is located between the impregnated layer and the release liner.
Since the impregnated layer and aqueous hydrogel are extremely flexible and pliable, the method of manufacturing the burn dressing product may further include the step of providing a dimensionally stable backing member to maintain the burn dressing in its desired shape until the burn dressing product is applied to a burn site. The dimensionally stable backing member is applied to the second side of the bacterial barrier ~ layer, wherein an adhesive layer is located between the second side of the bacterial barrier layer and the dimensionally stable backing member. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bonding layer preferably has stronger bonding qualities than the adhesive layer so as tc~ allow removal of the dimensionally stable backing member from the bacterial barrier layer after application of the burn dressing product to the burn, while maintaining adhesion between the hydrogel material layer and the skin of a patient.
Finally, the present invention provides a method of application of the burn dressing product described above. When the burn dressing product is to be applied to a burn site, the release liner is partially removed to expose the hydrogel material layer so the hydrogel can contact the burn site. The burn dressing product is then .A
2~3~~~~
applied directly over the burn site in a rolling motion, while continuing to remove the release liner until the release liner is completely removed and the burn dressing completely covers the burn site.
Directly contacting the burn is the hydrogel material layer, where it creates a bio-compatible, bacterial protective, fluid absorbing, cushioned skin-like media to facilitate the healing process. Once the burn dressing product has been placed on the burn site, then the dimensionally stable backing member can be removed.
The result is a burn dressing containing a bio-compatible, non-irritating, fluid absorbing, skin-like media hydrogel material. Conformity and, more importantly, bacterial protection is improved since there is no "lifting edge" to catch on clothing or bed sheets.
The hydrogel material has healing and absorbing qualities and is preferably a saline solution in an aqueous gel-like phase, which is impregnable within the reticulated layer. The gel-like consistency of the hydrogel material creates a bond between the burn dressing and the burn site without creating an actual adhesive attachment that would damage new cell tissue upon removal. An advantage of the gel-like hydrogel is that it will absorb exudzting burn wound fluids. Additionally, it permits clean and neat removal of the burn dressing when the burn heals or the dressing is changed. Finally, since the hydrogel material is transparent, it is possible to inspect the burn site wichout removing the burn dressing, provided the other layers of the burn dressing product are also transparent.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a burn dressing product containing an aqueous hydrogel substance which is particularly advantageous when used Lo dress burn sites, by providing a skin-like media which is bio-compatik;le, non-irritating, fluid absorbing, and bacterial protective; to provide a burn dressing which is more flexible and less bulky than existing dressings; to ~03~494 _8_ provide a burn dressing which will not adhere to new cell tissue when it is removed; and to provide a burn dressing product with the above features that is readily available for application to a burn site.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.

Figures 2A and 2B are cross-sectional views of the burn dressing product and the burn dressing, respectively, of Figure 1 taken along line 2-2;
Figure 3 is an e$ploded view, illustrating the layers which form the preferred embodiment of the burn dressing product; and Figures 4A through 4D illustrate the preferred method of application of the burn dressing product of the present invention.
~ei-a; yd Description of the Invention The present invention relates to a burn dressing product for application to a burn site. The burn dressing product is comprised of a burn dressing and a release liner. The invention also includes a method of manufacture and a method of application for the disclosed burn dressing product.
The burn dressing product 10 of the present invention is illustrated in Figures 1, 2A, 2B, and 3.
Although the burn dressing product 10 is shown in Figure 1 2U3~49D
_g_ as having a rectangular shape, it may be any of a variety of desirable shapes. The burn dressing product 10 is composed of several layers including a wound dressing 12, as illustrated by the cross-sectional view of Figure 2A
and the exploded view of Figure 3.
Referring now to Figure 2A, the burn dressing product 10 is illustrated in cross-section, taken along line 2-2 of Figure 1. The burn dressing product 10 includes a bacterial barrier layer 14, preferably of polyurethane. The bacterial barrier layer 14 has a first side and a second side, the first side being coated with a bonding agent to form bonding layer 16. The bonding layer 16 preferably comprises a medical grade acrylic adhesive, but may be any suitable bonding means including flame bonding. Attached to the bacterial barrier layer 14 via the bonding layer 16 is a reticu~ated layer 18, which layer 18 may be any suitable reinforcing material such as reticulated foam, scrim, or non-woven material, the layer 18 having a first side and a second side. The reticulated layer 18 is preferably absorbent enough to permit a hydrogel material 20 to be impregnated in the reticulated layer 18. A hydrogel material layer 22 is then secured by bonding or other means to the first side of the impregnated layer 18. Finally, a release liner 24, preferably silicone coated, overlies the hydrogel material layer 22 and is secured to the first side of the impregnated layer 18 by means of the hydrogel material gayer 22. The bacterial barrier layer 14, the bonding layer 16, the impregnated layer 18, and the hydrogel mat~~rial layer 22 comprise the wound dressing 12, as illustrated in Figure 2B.
The combination of the impregnated layer 18 and the hydrogel material layer 22 is particulaLly advantageous for use on burn wounds. The impregnated layer 18 provides a cushion to protect the burn site from external trauma, but does not directly contact the burn site. Instead, to avoid having new cell tissue adhere to the impregnated layer 18, the smooth, gel-like hydrogel material layer 22 directly contacts the wound.
In a further embodiment, the burn dressing product 10 may include a dimensionally stable backing member 26, illustrated in Figures 2A and 3. The backing member 26 is secured to the second side of the bacterial barrier layer 14 by means of an adhesive layer 28. Also in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bonding layer 16, located between the bacterial barrier layer 14 and the impregnated layer 18, has stronger bonding qualities than the adhesive layer 28, located between the bacterial barrier layer 14 and the dimensionally stable backing member 26. Such a construction allows removal of the dimensionally stable backing member 26 from the burn dressing 12 while maintaining the adhesion between the bacterial barrier layer 14 and the impregnated layer 18.
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing the wound dressing product 10. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, the release liner 24, the impregnated layer 18, and the bacterial barrier layer 14 are provided, each having a first side and a second side. Since the impregnated layer and aqueous hydrogel are pliable, the method of manufacturing the burn dressing product 10 may further include the step of providing the dimensionally stable backing member 26, having a first side and a second side, to maintain the burn dressing 1:: in its desired shape until the burn dressing product 10 is applied to a burn site. The first side of the bacterial barrier layer 14 is coated with the bonding agent of the bonding layer 16 and the first side of the dimensionally stable backing member 26 is coated with the adhesive layer 28, which is illustrated in Figures 2A and 3. The second side of the bacterial barrier layer 14, if used in the manufacture of the burn dressing, is then laminated to the first side of the dimensionally stable backing member 26, wherein the adhesive layer 28 is located between the bacterial barrier layer 14 and the dimensionally stable backing member 26, as can be seen in Figure 2A.
Once the layers of the burn dressing product 10 are manufactured, the reticulated layer 18 is impregnated with a clear, gel-like aqueous material 20, preferably hydrogel, which forms a smooth hydrogel material layer 22 on the first side of the impregnated layer 18. After the hydrogel material 20 has been impregnated in the reticulated layer 18, the second side of the release liner 24 is applied to the first side of the hydrogel material layer 22. .
The hydrogel material 20 is a polyurethane and includes from about 15% to about 30% by weight of a Polyhydric alcohol selected from a group consisting of polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and glycerine, from about 8 % to about 14% by weight isophorone diisocyanate terminated prepolymer, from about 5% to about 10% by weight polyethylene oxide based diamine, up to about 1% by weight of a salt, and the remaining percentage being water. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the hydrogel material 20 includes 17%
polypropylene glycol, 12% isophorone diisocyanate terminated prepolymer, 9% polyethylene oxide based diamine, 1% sale, and 61% water. The hydrogel material 20 and the hydrogel material layer 22 provide a bio-compatible, non-irritating, fluid absorbing, bacterial protective, cushioning, skin-like media over the burn site. An additional advantage of the hydrogel is that the hydrogel material 20 and the hydrogel »' I

material layer 22 are transparent, making it possible to inspect the burn site without removing the burn dressing, provided the bacterial barrier layer 14, the bonding layer 16, and the impregnated layer 18 are all transparent as well.
Referring now to Figures 4A - 4D, a preferred method of application of the burn dressing product 10 is illustrated in sequence. Figure 4A illustrates how the release liner 24 can be gripped by the person applying the burn dressing product 10, to begin removal of the release liner 24 and expose the hydrogel material layer 22 before the burn dressing product 10 is applied to the burn site.
In Figure 4B, the burn dressing product 10 has been flipped over so the hydrogel material layer 22 can contact the burn site 30. The release liner 24 continues to be removed in a rolling motion as the hydrogel material layer 22 is placed over the burn site 30. Once the release liner 24 has been completely removed and the remaining layers of the burn dressing product 10 are properly situated over the burn site 30, the burn dressing product 10 is secured to the burn site 30 by gently pressing into place the burn dressing product 10, as illustrated in Figure 4C. Finally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4D, if the dimensionally stablA backing member 26 is used, it is peeled away from the bacterial barrier layer 14, to leave only the burn dressing 12 on the burn site 30.
Once the dimensionally stable backing member 26 has been completely removed, or if the dimensionally stable backing member is not used in the embodiment, only the bacterial barrier layer 14, the impregnated layer 18, and the hydrogel material layer 22, remain on the burn sits 30. The result is a burn dressing 12 containing a burn healing hydrogel material layer 22 which gently contacts the burr site 30.
203~4~0 The burn dressing product 10 of the present invention is particularly advantageous for use on exuding burns. In particular, a special feature of the hydrogel material layer 22 is that it retains its gel-like integrity even upon removal of the burn dressing 12 from a burn site. The hydrogel material layer 22 does not leave debris in the burn when the burn dressing is removed, nor does it adhere to the burn site. The benefit of this feature is that the hydrogel material layer 22 exhibits a capability of non-traumatically releasing from the burn when the burn dressing 12 is removed, so as not to destroy new cell tissue forming at the burn site. Thus, healing is not inhibited by removal of the dressing 12.
Having described the invention in detail and by reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be apparent that modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined in the appended claims.
However, while it is desirable to stem the loss of vital body fluids from the already weakened patient, the Wheeler burn dressing eliminates or minimizes the loss of all fluids, even fluids contaminated with necrotic tissue, from the burn site. Also, new cell tissue forming at the burn site may adhere to the sponge-like material, making it difficult to remove the burn dressing from the burn site without damaging new cell tissue. Consequently, the Wheeler burn dressing serves merely as a sedentary covering for allowing the b~~rn to heal, rather than actively expediting the healing.
Aqueous moisture absorbing materials, such as a polyethylene glycol liquid curing agent as disclosed in Spence, U.S. Patent No. 4,226,232, issued October 7, 1980, are easier to remove from the wound site, but cannot be _3_ 2~3~4~~
sterilized by irradiation due to the formation of free radicals within the aqueous material. Another aqueous absorbing material used to absorb wound exudate, hydrophilic polymer, is disclosed in Rawlings et al, U.S.
Patent No. 4,657,006, issued April 14, 1987. In the Rawlings et al reference. a wound dressing is described which comprises a hydrophilic polymer having moisture vapor permeability characteristics. A problem with the Rawlings et al wound dressing is that the wound exudate absorbed by the hydrophilic polymer hardens the polymer, allowing pockets to develop between the polymer and the wound, providing an excellent environment for bacteria proliferation.
Known aqueous moisture absorbing wound dressing systems have additional problems, in that the aqueous material is generally contained in the center portion of a wound dressing, with a bulky adhesive border, such as a foam border. Problems with such borders include decreased comfort, conformity and adhesion as well as the existence of a "lifting edge" that can catch on clothes or bed sheets, thereby exposing the wound to bacteria and infection. In addition, burn sites typically have very little healthy skin to which such a dressing may be adhered.
An existing method of overcoming the problems associated with bulky wound dressings is disclosed in Potts, U.S. Patent No. 3,526,224 issued September 1, 1970. The Potts reference discloses a wound dressing comprised of an elastomeric polyurethane film which acts as a second skin during the wound healing process. One problem with the Potts wound dressing, however, is that the "second skin" requires surgery to remove it after the wound has healed.
Hence, it would be desirable to provide a burn a5 dressing which eliminates or minimizes vital and healthy fluid loss from a burn site while simultaneously removing contaminated or infected wound fluids. It would also be _4_ ~~3~49~i desirable to provide a burn dressing product which could be readily available for application to a burn wound. It would further be desirable to provide such a burn dressing which contains wound debridement characteristics but does not adhere to the burn site, thereby providing means to expedite healing. In addition, it would be desirable to provide a burn dressing which could be removed neatly and, more importantly, without adhering to the new cell tissue forming at the burn site. Finally, it would be desirable 14 to provide such a burn dressing product which could be comfortably applied to any area on a body.
Summary of the Invention The present invention meets these needs by providing a thin-film burn dressing containing an aqueous hydrogel material, partially impregnated in a reticulated layer which may be of any suitable material including foam, scrim or non-woven material. The present invention also provides a method of manufacture and application of a burn dressing product which includes the burn dressing.
The burn dressing product herein can be manufactured to any desirable size to provide a wound debridement dressing for any size burn site. The burn dressing herein is adhesive only to the extent that exuding wound fluids are absorbed, and non-adhesive upon removal from the burn site.
The burn dressing produce of the present invention comprises a burn dressing which includes a bacterial barrier layer having a first side and a second side; a bonding layer, the bonding agent positioned on the first side of the bacterial barrier layer; a reticulated layer having a first side and a second side, the reticulated later being impregnated with a hydrogel material; and a hydrogel material layer on the first side of the impregnated layer. The burn dressing product further comprises a release liner overlying the hydrogel material layer and secured to the first side of the impregnated layer by means of the hydrogel material layer.
A further embodiment of the burn dressing product may include a dimensionally stable backing member having an adhesive layer, the backing member secured to the second side of the bacterial barrier layer by means of the adhesive layer. In a preferred embodiment, the bacterial barrier layer comprises a polyurethane material, the release liner is silicone coated, and the bonding layer comprises a medical grade acrylic adhesive. However, the bonding layer may be any suitable bonding means such as adhesive or flame bonding. Also, the hydrogel material of the burn dressing product comprises from about 15% to about 30% by weight of a polyhydric alcohol, from about 8%
to about 14% by weight of an isophorone diisocyanate terminated prepolymer, from about 5% to about 10% by weight of a polyethylene oxide based diamine, up to about 1% by weight of a salt, and the balance water.
In a preferred embodiment of this burn dressing product, the hydrogel comprises 17% by weight of the polyhydric alcohol, 12% by weight of the isophorone diisocyanate terminated prepolymer, 9% by weight of the polyethylene oxide baseCt diamine, 1% by weight of the salt, and the balance water.
The present invention also provides a,method of manufacturing the burn dressing product. Initially, a release liner, a reticulated layer such as foam, scrim, or non-woven material, and a bacterial barrier layer are provided, each layer having a first side and a second side. The first side of the bacterial barrier layer is then coated with a bonding layer, after which the second .:
side of the reticulated layer is bonded to the first side of the bacterial barrier layer, wherein the bonding layer is located between the reticulated layer and the release liner. The reticulated layer is impregnated with a hydrogel material, the hydrogel material forming a smooth hydrogel layer on the first side of the impregnated layer.
The second side of the release liiner is applied to the first side of the impregnated layer, wherein the smooth hydrogel material layer is located between the impregnated layer and the release liner.
Since the impregnated layer and aqueous hydrogel are extremely flexible and pliable, the method of manufacturing the burn dressing product may further include the step of providing a dimensionally stable backing member to maintain the burn dressing in its desired shape until the burn dressing product is applied to a burn site. The dimensionally stable backing member is applied to the second side of the bacterial barrier ~ layer, wherein an adhesive layer is located between the second side of the bacterial barrier layer and the dimensionally stable backing member. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bonding layer preferably has stronger bonding qualities than the adhesive layer so as tc~ allow removal of the dimensionally stable backing member from the bacterial barrier layer after application of the burn dressing product to the burn, while maintaining adhesion between the hydrogel material layer and the skin of a patient.
Finally, the present invention provides a method of application of the burn dressing product described above. When the burn dressing product is to be applied to a burn site, the release liner is partially removed to expose the hydrogel material layer so the hydrogel can contact the burn site. The burn dressing product is then .A
2~3~~~~
applied directly over the burn site in a rolling motion, while continuing to remove the release liner until the release liner is completely removed and the burn dressing completely covers the burn site.
Directly contacting the burn is the hydrogel material layer, where it creates a bio-compatible, bacterial protective, fluid absorbing, cushioned skin-like media to facilitate the healing process. Once the burn dressing product has been placed on the burn site, then the dimensionally stable backing member can be removed.
The result is a burn dressing containing a bio-compatible, non-irritating, fluid absorbing, skin-like media hydrogel material. Conformity and, more importantly, bacterial protection is improved since there is no "lifting edge" to catch on clothing or bed sheets.
The hydrogel material has healing and absorbing qualities and is preferably a saline solution in an aqueous gel-like phase, which is impregnable within the reticulated layer. The gel-like consistency of the hydrogel material creates a bond between the burn dressing and the burn site without creating an actual adhesive attachment that would damage new cell tissue upon removal. An advantage of the gel-like hydrogel is that it will absorb exudzting burn wound fluids. Additionally, it permits clean and neat removal of the burn dressing when the burn heals or the dressing is changed. Finally, since the hydrogel material is transparent, it is possible to inspect the burn site wichout removing the burn dressing, provided the other layers of the burn dressing product are also transparent.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a burn dressing product containing an aqueous hydrogel substance which is particularly advantageous when used Lo dress burn sites, by providing a skin-like media which is bio-compatik;le, non-irritating, fluid absorbing, and bacterial protective; to provide a burn dressing which is more flexible and less bulky than existing dressings; to ~03~494 _8_ provide a burn dressing which will not adhere to new cell tissue when it is removed; and to provide a burn dressing product with the above features that is readily available for application to a burn site.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.
Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of the burn dressing product;
Figures 2A and 2B are cross-sectional views of the burn dressing product and the burn dressing, respectively, of Figure 1 taken along line 2-2;
Figure 3 is an e$ploded view, illustrating the layers which form the preferred embodiment of the burn dressing product; and Figures 4A through 4D illustrate the preferred method of application of the burn dressing product of the present invention.
~ei-a; yd Description of the Invention The present invention relates to a burn dressing product for application to a burn site. The burn dressing product is comprised of a burn dressing and a release liner. The invention also includes a method of manufacture and a method of application for the disclosed burn dressing product.
The burn dressing product 10 of the present invention is illustrated in Figures 1, 2A, 2B, and 3.
Although the burn dressing product 10 is shown in Figure 1 2U3~49D
_g_ as having a rectangular shape, it may be any of a variety of desirable shapes. The burn dressing product 10 is composed of several layers including a wound dressing 12, as illustrated by the cross-sectional view of Figure 2A
and the exploded view of Figure 3.
Referring now to Figure 2A, the burn dressing product 10 is illustrated in cross-section, taken along line 2-2 of Figure 1. The burn dressing product 10 includes a bacterial barrier layer 14, preferably of polyurethane. The bacterial barrier layer 14 has a first side and a second side, the first side being coated with a bonding agent to form bonding layer 16. The bonding layer 16 preferably comprises a medical grade acrylic adhesive, but may be any suitable bonding means including flame bonding. Attached to the bacterial barrier layer 14 via the bonding layer 16 is a reticu~ated layer 18, which layer 18 may be any suitable reinforcing material such as reticulated foam, scrim, or non-woven material, the layer 18 having a first side and a second side. The reticulated layer 18 is preferably absorbent enough to permit a hydrogel material 20 to be impregnated in the reticulated layer 18. A hydrogel material layer 22 is then secured by bonding or other means to the first side of the impregnated layer 18. Finally, a release liner 24, preferably silicone coated, overlies the hydrogel material layer 22 and is secured to the first side of the impregnated layer 18 by means of the hydrogel material gayer 22. The bacterial barrier layer 14, the bonding layer 16, the impregnated layer 18, and the hydrogel mat~~rial layer 22 comprise the wound dressing 12, as illustrated in Figure 2B.
The combination of the impregnated layer 18 and the hydrogel material layer 22 is particulaLly advantageous for use on burn wounds. The impregnated layer 18 provides a cushion to protect the burn site from external trauma, but does not directly contact the burn site. Instead, to avoid having new cell tissue adhere to the impregnated layer 18, the smooth, gel-like hydrogel material layer 22 directly contacts the wound.
In a further embodiment, the burn dressing product 10 may include a dimensionally stable backing member 26, illustrated in Figures 2A and 3. The backing member 26 is secured to the second side of the bacterial barrier layer 14 by means of an adhesive layer 28. Also in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bonding layer 16, located between the bacterial barrier layer 14 and the impregnated layer 18, has stronger bonding qualities than the adhesive layer 28, located between the bacterial barrier layer 14 and the dimensionally stable backing member 26. Such a construction allows removal of the dimensionally stable backing member 26 from the burn dressing 12 while maintaining the adhesion between the bacterial barrier layer 14 and the impregnated layer 18.
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing the wound dressing product 10. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, the release liner 24, the impregnated layer 18, and the bacterial barrier layer 14 are provided, each having a first side and a second side. Since the impregnated layer and aqueous hydrogel are pliable, the method of manufacturing the burn dressing product 10 may further include the step of providing the dimensionally stable backing member 26, having a first side and a second side, to maintain the burn dressing 1:: in its desired shape until the burn dressing product 10 is applied to a burn site. The first side of the bacterial barrier layer 14 is coated with the bonding agent of the bonding layer 16 and the first side of the dimensionally stable backing member 26 is coated with the adhesive layer 28, which is illustrated in Figures 2A and 3. The second side of the bacterial barrier layer 14, if used in the manufacture of the burn dressing, is then laminated to the first side of the dimensionally stable backing member 26, wherein the adhesive layer 28 is located between the bacterial barrier layer 14 and the dimensionally stable backing member 26, as can be seen in Figure 2A.
Once the layers of the burn dressing product 10 are manufactured, the reticulated layer 18 is impregnated with a clear, gel-like aqueous material 20, preferably hydrogel, which forms a smooth hydrogel material layer 22 on the first side of the impregnated layer 18. After the hydrogel material 20 has been impregnated in the reticulated layer 18, the second side of the release liner 24 is applied to the first side of the hydrogel material layer 22. .
The hydrogel material 20 is a polyurethane and includes from about 15% to about 30% by weight of a Polyhydric alcohol selected from a group consisting of polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and glycerine, from about 8 % to about 14% by weight isophorone diisocyanate terminated prepolymer, from about 5% to about 10% by weight polyethylene oxide based diamine, up to about 1% by weight of a salt, and the remaining percentage being water. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the hydrogel material 20 includes 17%
polypropylene glycol, 12% isophorone diisocyanate terminated prepolymer, 9% polyethylene oxide based diamine, 1% sale, and 61% water. The hydrogel material 20 and the hydrogel material layer 22 provide a bio-compatible, non-irritating, fluid absorbing, bacterial protective, cushioning, skin-like media over the burn site. An additional advantage of the hydrogel is that the hydrogel material 20 and the hydrogel »' I
203~4~
material layer 22 are transparent, making it possible to inspect the burn site without removing the burn dressing, provided the bacterial barrier layer 14, the bonding layer 16, and the impregnated layer 18 are all transparent as well.
Referring now to Figures 4A - 4D, a preferred method of application of the burn dressing product 10 is illustrated in sequence. Figure 4A illustrates how the release liner 24 can be gripped by the person applying the burn dressing product 10, to begin removal of the release liner 24 and expose the hydrogel material layer 22 before the burn dressing product 10 is applied to the burn site.
In Figure 4B, the burn dressing product 10 has been flipped over so the hydrogel material layer 22 can contact the burn site 30. The release liner 24 continues to be removed in a rolling motion as the hydrogel material layer 22 is placed over the burn site 30. Once the release liner 24 has been completely removed and the remaining layers of the burn dressing product 10 are properly situated over the burn site 30, the burn dressing product 10 is secured to the burn site 30 by gently pressing into place the burn dressing product 10, as illustrated in Figure 4C. Finally, in one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4D, if the dimensionally stablA backing member 26 is used, it is peeled away from the bacterial barrier layer 14, to leave only the burn dressing 12 on the burn site 30.
Once the dimensionally stable backing member 26 has been completely removed, or if the dimensionally stable backing member is not used in the embodiment, only the bacterial barrier layer 14, the impregnated layer 18, and the hydrogel material layer 22, remain on the burn sits 30. The result is a burn dressing 12 containing a burn healing hydrogel material layer 22 which gently contacts the burr site 30.
203~4~0 The burn dressing product 10 of the present invention is particularly advantageous for use on exuding burns. In particular, a special feature of the hydrogel material layer 22 is that it retains its gel-like integrity even upon removal of the burn dressing 12 from a burn site. The hydrogel material layer 22 does not leave debris in the burn when the burn dressing is removed, nor does it adhere to the burn site. The benefit of this feature is that the hydrogel material layer 22 exhibits a capability of non-traumatically releasing from the burn when the burn dressing 12 is removed, so as not to destroy new cell tissue forming at the burn site. Thus, healing is not inhibited by removal of the dressing 12.
Having described the invention in detail and by reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be apparent that modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined in the appended claims.
