Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/139823
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
This disclosure includes wound dressings and systems with therapeutic gas and negative pressure sources for incision management and related methods. Some dressings, which are configured to be coupled to tissue to facilitate delivery of oxygen to the tissue, comprise a manifold configured to permit communication of oxygen to the tissue, the manifold defining: a plurality of gas passageways; and a plurality of openings, one or more of which comprises a length and a width that is at least 50 percent less than the length; and a gas- occlusive layer configured to be disposed over the manifold and coupled to the tissue such that an interior volume containing the manifold is defined between the gas-occlusive layer and the tissue and the gas-occlusive layer limits escape of oxygen from the interior volume.
