MECHANICAL WOUND THERAPY FOR SUB-ATMOSPHERIC WOUND CARE SYSTEM

Title:

MECHANICAL WOUND THERAPY FOR SUB-ATMOSPHERIC WOUND CARE SYSTEM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/066694

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A mechanical wound therapy (MWT) system includes a connection for a vacuum source, which is routed through an airtight covering to a porous material positioned over the wound. The porous material may be a tubing network interspaced by a netting material constructed of biologically inert or bioabsorbable material. Alternatively, the porous material may be a layered unified dressing in which layers of mesh, netting or thin perforated film are separated and fixedly attached to functional elements of the dressing (e.g., irrigation tubing) or spacers. The vacuum and irrigation systems may be completely separated. An airtight sealing layer or foldable adhesive sealing layer may seal the dressing and facilitate sealing the dressing to the wound margins. Additional modular devices such as a wound approximating system, positive pressure bladders and adjuvant therapy modules as well as enhanced monitoring technology can be added to synergistically increase the capabilities of each dressing.
