Medicinal product with a textile component

Abstract

The present invention relates to a medicinal product with a textile component such as a wound compress having a surface containing a multiplicity of openings arranged in at least two hole patterns. The diameter of one opening of one hole pattern deviates from the diameter of an opening of another hole pattern by about at least a factor of 5. Better wound healing is achieved by adapting the structural and mechanical characteristics of the medicinal product to the characteristics of the target tissue.

1. A medical product with a textile component which forms a surface, said surface made from an embroidery, wherein the surface has a multiplicity of openings, there being at least two patterns of holes with groups of openings, each said hole pattern having a surface, the diameter of one opening of one hole pattern deviating from the diameter of an opening of another hole pattern in each case by about at least a factor of 5 from one another, and wherein a multiplicity of compact, rigid embroidered stimulation points is provided and centrally positioned between the openings of the surface of each hole pattern, each said compact, rigid embroidered stimulation point having a surface, said stimulation point surface protruding from the textile component by at most several millimeters as a flat to semi-spherical protruberance, and further wherein the stimulation points serve as an angiopolar layer that inhibits tissue ingrowth thereon. 
     
     
       2. The medical product according to  claim 1 , wherein the embroidery comprises a structure selected from the group consisting of monofilaments, multifilaments, mixtures of monofilaments and multifilaments, and staple fiber yarns. 
     
     
       3. The medical product according to  claim 1 , wherein the hole pattern with the larger diameter of its openings and the hole pattern with the second largest diameter of its openings are arranged regularly. 
     
     
       4. The medical product according to  claim 1 , wherein the hole pattern with the largest diameters has the largest opening surface area in the middle of the product and decreases in a gradient toward the edges of the product. 
     
     
       5. The medical product according to  claim 4 , wherein the surface of the compact, rigid embroidered stimulation points correspond to the surface of the hole pattern with the largest diameters. 
     
     
       6. The medical product according to  claim 4 , wherein each compact, rigid embroidered stimulation point has a height of between about 3 to 5 millimeters. 
     
     
       7. The medical product according to  claim 4 , having two sides, wherein the compact, rigid embroidered stimulation points protrude from the embroidered plane of the textile product on both sides of the textile product. 
     
     
       8. The medical product according to  claim 1 , wherein the product comprises a product selected from the group consisting of a compress, a hernia mesh, an abdominal wall replacement, an artificial ligament and an augmentation textile for applications in the dental sector. 
     
     
       9. The medical product according to  claim 1 , wherein the textile component comprises an embroidery material selected from the group consisting of natural, synthetic, inorganic and mineral raw materials. 
     
     
       10. The medical product according to  claim 1 , wherein said textile component forms a first layer, said medical product further comprising a second layer which is a knitted spacer layer and a third layer which is a woven base layer. 
     
     
       11. The medical product according to  claim 10 , wherein the second layer is capable of taking up exudates and absorbing shear forces and the third layer has an antibacterial action. 
     
     
       12. A method for providing medical product to promote wound healing, comprising the steps of:
   a )  providing a medical product with a textile component which forms a surface, said surface made from an embroidery, wherein the surface has a multiplicity of openings, there being at least two patterns of holes with groups of openings, each said hole pattern having a surface, the diameter of one opening of one hole pattern deviating from the diameter of an opening of another hole pattern in each case by about at least a factor of  5  from one another, and wherein a multiplicity of compact, rigid embroidered stimulation points is provided between the openings of the surface of each hole pattern, each said compact, rigid embroidered stimulation point having a surface, said stimulation point surface protruding from the textile component by at most several millimeters as a flat to semi - spherical protruberance, and further wherein the stimulation points serve as an angiopolar layer that inhibits tissue ingrowth thereon; and        b )  applying said medical product to a wound surface.     
     
     
       13. The method for providing a medical product to promote wound healing of  claim 12 , wherein the embroidery comprises a structure selected from the group consisting of monofilaments, multifilaments, mixtures of monofilaments and multifilaments, and staple fiber yarns.
