WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/049834

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A wound treatment system includes a patch, first and second fluid reservoirs, an electrokinetic pump assembly, and a controller. The patch is configured to enclose a wound area and includes an inlet and an outlet. The first fluid reservoir is fluidically connected to the inlet and the second fluid reservoir is fluidically connected to the outlet. The electrokinetic pump assembly is configured to pump a first treatment fluid from the first fluid reservoir into the patch through the inlet and to pump fluid from the patch through the outlet and into the second fluid reservoir. The controller is configured to operate the electrokinetic pump assembly and to include an electronic memory containing computer readable instructions for operating the electrokinetic pump assembly to perform a wound therapy protocol in the wound area.
