Definitions
- the present invention relates to antimicrobial composites which may be used, in particular, as wound coverings, dressings, cloths, and the like.
- an antimicrobial metal such as silver
- laminating the resultant material to a material such as a liquid-absorbing nonwoven material with the metal coating facing the liquid-absorbing material, the abrasion of metal particles may be prevented while at the same time, the antimicrobial and disinfectant effect of the metal coating is retained.
- Treating and healing bacterially contaminated skin and wounds, or infected skin and wounds is a major challenge to medicine and the natural sciences. Poorly healing and chronic wounds frequently become populated by a wide variety of microorganisms that considerably delay healing and sometimes even prevent healing altogether. Frequently, in the case of acute wounds that are caused by trauma, surgical intervention or even just simple injury, the penetration and infection by pathogenic microorganisms can, however, not completely be prevented.
- An example of the known antimicrobial and/or prophylactic treatment of contaminated or infected wounds is the use of oxidants such as tincture of iodine, or of antiseptics such as ointments which contain silver sulfadiazine.
- silver has been the agent of choice for treating infections, due to its broad bactericidal and fungicidal effect. In addition to its broad range of activity, silver is effective in minute, i.e., trace amounts (oligodynamic effect). Since the amounts of silver are so small, the tolerance is excellent. For example, silver aerosols, silver-containing solutions, ointments or tablets, etc. are widely used as antiseptics.
- Silver-containing products are also used in the form of corresponding antimicrobially treated or impregnated wound dressings and wound care materials. The use of silver-containing zeolites, glasses and zirconyl phosphates, and also of silver in elemental or nanocrystalline form, is known as well.
- [0008] Basically, there are two forms used for the administration of silver (ions), i.e., forms in which the silver ions are present in the product per se, and forms in which the ionic form of silver is generated by the oxidation of elemental silver.
- the first case essentially involves a dissolution or ion-exchange process. This makes the silver ions rapidly available, but the amount of silver ions in the preparation drops quickly as well. To provide a sufficient amount of silver to counteract this disadvantage is not without problems. For example, the cytotoxicity of silver ions limits the maximum acceptable amount thereof that can be used in a product.
- a commercially available wound care product with antimicrobial properties is known under the name of Arglaes ® . Its mode of action is based on "slow-release polymer” technology that causes a slow but constant release of silver ions in the moist milieu of the wound (Biomed.

- Non-limiting examples of preferred materials for use in or as the first layer of the composite of the present invention are polyethylene nets available under the trade name Delnet® (Applied Extrusion Technologies, Wilmington, DE). These nets are produced by extrusion, embossing and stretching of films. A huge variety of these nets is commercially available and may be produced by altering the polymer blend, the melt temperature, the embossing pattern, and the stretch ratio.
- the second layer of the composite of the present invention will usually be liquid-absorbing, or at least liquid-permeable. Where the second-layer is (merely) liquid- permeable, the second layer may be the same as, or similar to the first layer, and in this case the above comments with respect to the first layer may be referred to with respect to properties, structure, etc. of the second layer.

- the desirable area weight of the second layer of the composite of the present invention depends on the intended use and the type of lamination-.
- the area weight of the second, liquid-absorbing layer (e.g., the nonwoven), as determined according to DIN EN 29073, will usually be not lower than about about 80 g/m 2 , e.g., not lower than about 100 g/m 2 , and be not higher than about 200 g/m 2 , e.g., not higher than about 150 g/m 2 , or not higher than about 130 g/m 2 .
- An area weight of about 125 g/m 2 is particularly preferred. In certain cases higher area weights than those indicated above may be more appropriate, for example, for compresses for use with larger wounds.
- the second (liquid-absorbing) layer may comprise one or more superabsorbers such as, for example, water-insoluble, cross-linked polymers that can swell and form hydrogels to absorb and store large amounts of liquid (e.g., water), even under pressure.
- a suitable superabsorber is a polymer which comprises recurring units derived from acrylic acid and derivatives thereof. When present at all, the superabsorber(s) will usually be present in an amount of from about 0.01 % to about 40 % by weight, based on the weight of the second layer.
- the composite of the present invention comprises one or more antimicrobial metals such as, e.g., Ag, Au, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ir, Zn, Sn, Sb, Bi, and alloys comprising one or more of these metals.
- a particularly preferred metal is silver.
- antimicrobial as used in the present specification and the appended claims is . to be understood in its broadest sense, and is inclusive of terms like “disinfectant”, “antibacterial”, “antifungal” etc. In particular, “antimicrobial” denotes activity against pathogenic microorganisms of any kind.
- the antimicrobial metal in elemental form may be present between the first and second layers of the composite of the present invention in any form which ensures that metal (ions) will be present on the external surface of the first layer (opposite the surface that faces the second layer) when this surface is contacted with (aqueous) liquid (water, liquid electrolyte, wound exudate etc.) for a sufficient period of time. Accordingly, the expression "present between the first and second layers" as used in the present specification and the appended claims does not exclude, but rather includes, composites in which the antimicrobial metal is present within the first layer and/or within the second layer instead of, or in addition to, its presence between the layers.
- the first layer of the composite of the present invention may be composed of a combination of two individual liquid-permeable layers (e.g., a mesh and a perforated film or two perforated films), and the antimicrobial metal may be sandwiched between (e.g., be present at the interface of) these two individual layers.
- the present invention encompasses any composite wherein the antimicrobial metal in elemental form is present within the composite, but substantially no antimicrobial metal in elemental form is present on exterior surfaces of the composite.
- Substantially no antimicrobial metal in elemental form is present on exterior surfaces of the composite means that no more than trace amounts of antimicrobial metal, in particular, amounts which by themselves will not give rise to a noticeable antimicrobial effect, are present on exterior surfaces of the composite.
- the antimicrobial metal is present as a coating on at least one of the surfaces of the first and second layers, preferably (at least) on one of the surfaces of the first layer, although a corresponding coating or the like may also be present on one or both sides of thie second layer.
- the antimicrobial metal may be present as such (i.e., without any other materials), but it may also be present in any other, suitable form, for example, as a layer which comprises the antimicrobial metal and other materials such as, e.g., in the form of a porous polymer matrix which contains embedded antimicrobial metal.
- the antimicrobial metal e.g., silver
- One or more other layers may be arranged between the antimicrobial metal and the first layer and/or the second layer.
- an intermediate layer may be arranged on the surface of the first layer (and/or the second layer) onto which the antimicrobial metal is to be applied.
- the intermediate layer may serve various purposes, e.g., to provide a higher optical density in order to improve the aesthetic appearance (in particular, where the amount of antimicrobial metal is relatively low) and/or to produce a more uniform coating and/or to promote adhesion of the antimicrobial metal, etc.
- the intermediate layer preferably comprises aluminum (e.g., in the form of a thin aluminum metal film produced by deposition from the gas phase), but any other material(s) can be used as well as long as they are suitable for the desired purpose(s) and, in particular, do not interfere with the release of the antimicrobial metal and the antimicrobial activity thereof.
- the first layer of the composite is laminated to the second layer (preferably a liquid-absorbing layer such as, e.g., a nonwoven) by using meltable fibers under heat and pressure.
- Welding e.g., ultrasonic welding
- spot-welding the bond between the first layer, e.g., a mesh, and the second layer, e.g., a liquid-absorbing nonwoven tends to be relatively weak, wherefore a type of bonding with a larger contact area between these layers is preferred.
- Yet another non-limiting example of the techniques for bonding the first and second layers together is the use of adhesives. In this case, the utilized adhesive should not significantly interfere with the release of the antimicrobial metal (e.g., silver) or cause inconvenience to the user.
- the first layer of the composite of the present invention is bonded to the second layer by continuous bonding, e.g., substantially completely (as opposed to bonding in certain places only, like in the case of, e.g., spot- welding).
- first layer is laminated to the second layer by using meltable fibers, a sufficient amount of meltable fibers should be used to ensure sufficient resistance against delamination.
- the composite of the present invention (without any additional layers which may optionally be present, such as, e.g., a backing layer etc.) will preferably have an area weight (as determined according to DIN EN 29073-1) of at least about 50 g/m 2 , e.g., at least about 80 g/m 2 , and not more than about 300 g/m 2 , e.g., not more than about 230 g/m 2 , or not more than about 160 g/m 2 .

- the composite will usually show a peeling or delamination strength (as determined according to DIN 53357) of at least about 0.05 N/cm, e.g., at least about 0.15 N/cm, and not higher than about 1.5 N/cm, e.g., not higher than about 0.8 N/cm.
- the minimum single value of the peeling strength (as determined according to DIN 53357) will usually not be lower than 0.05 N/cm.

- the 24-hour release of antimicrobial metal (e.g., silver) provided by the composite of the present invention preferably is at least about 0.05 mg/m 2 , particularly, at least about 0.1 mg/m 2 , but usually it will not be higher than about 3 mg/m 2 , e.g., not higher than about 2 mg/m 2 of composite.
- a wound covering article according to the present invention may, by way of non-limiting example, comprise the above composite and a cover or backing layer arranged on the second layer of the composite (e.g., directly bonded to the second layer or to any intermediate layer such as, e.g., a liquid-permeable layer which may optionally be present in a composite wherein the second layer is made of a liquid-absorbing material).
- the cover layer may comprise any material that is suitable for this purpose.
- Non-limiting examples of corresponding materials include a nonwoven (e.g., composed of polyester), a polyolefin (e.g. polyethylene) film and a combination thereof.
- the cover layer may carry an adhesive on the surface which is to come into contact with the second (or intermediate) layer and, optionally, also with the skin.
- suitable adhesives are disclosed in, e.g., DE 27 43 979 C3.
- commercially available pressure-sensitive or UV-curable adhesives based on acrylate or rubber may be used for this purpose.
- Preferable is the use of thermoplastic hot-melt adhesives based on natural and synthetic rubbers and other synthetic polymers such as, e.g., acrylates, methacrylates, polyurethanes, polyolefms, polyvinyl derivatives, polyesters and silicones.
- These adhesives may optionally contain additives such as, e.g., tackifying resins, softeners, stabilizers and other auxiliary agents. Subsequent cross-linking of the adhesive by UV or electron beam radiation may be advantageous.
- Hot-melt adhesives based on block copolymers are distinguished by their numerous varieties. By specifically lowering the glass transition temperature of the pressure-sensitive adhesive through selection of the appropriate tackifier, softener, the polymer molecule size and molecular weight distribution of the individual components, an appropriate adhesion to the skin is ensured also at critical locations of the human locomotive system.
- a wound covering article which does not have the antimicrobial metal (e.g., silver) on the surface of a liquid-permeable layer which is to come into contact with the wound (i.e., not on an external surface thereof), but has the metal on the opposite surface of the layer, is capable of releasing a sufficient amount of the metal to give rise to an antimicrobial (disinfectant) effect when the article is in contact with a wound.
- the antimicrobial metal e.g., silver
- a wound covering article e.g., a wound dressing
- shows an antimicrobial activity as demonstrated by release tests of dissolved silver, as well as by efficacy studies. These studies demonstrate a marked antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a somewhat lower activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus hirae, in this order.
- a composite according to the present invention is useful, in particular, as a wound dressing or wound covering such as a compress. Its use in skin care, e.g., as a cosmetic towelette or in baby care is advantageous as well, particularly, because the antimicrobial metal in elemental form does not directly contact the skin.
- a composite of the present invention in the form of, e.g., a wound dressing or other wound covering material which comprises an antimicrobial metal such as silver shows many advantages, including the following:
- silver (ions) is (are) released and exert(s) an antimicrobial effect
- a mesh, perforated film or the like is provided as a cover layer over a textile material (as liquid-absorbing material) fibers from the textile material are prevented from being released into the wound and/or adhering to the wound.
- the structure according to the present invention can be realized without, or at least without substantial loss, of antimicrobial activity.
- this activity is observed already with a very slight coating of silver, and a coating of preferably at least about 10 mg silver/m 2 is particularly preferred to ensure satisfactory antimicrobial activity.
- More silver can also be applied, e.g., for reasons of the manufacturing process. It has been shown, for example, that the application of as much as about 600 mg/m of silver does not harm the user.
- a comparison with known silver-containing wound dressings has shown that a dressing according to the present invention releases an advantageously high amount of silver at the beginning of the application.
- a dressing according to the present invention is related to abrasion. Rubbing one's finger on the side of the dressing which faces the skin reveals no abraded material, let alone black discoloration, in contrast to known wound dressings. This is particularly advantageous, in particular, for aesthetic reasons, for dressings that are used without a physician's supervision.
- the composite according to the present invention can also be used in other areas, e.g., for skin care applications.
- moistened skin may be covered or wiped with the composite, for example in the form of a cloth.
- the moisture will penetrate the cover layer into the moisture-absorbing layer and thereby contact the metal (silver) layer.
- the antimicrobial metal will be released, thereby providing the antimicrobial effect associated with the metal.
- One of the advantages of the composite of the present invention is that the skin will not get discolored in these cosmetic uses. This is a substantial improvement over conventionally used products such as, e.g., baby care wipes and dressings.
