Systems and methods can promote wound healing, including a wound dressing having a wound-facing surface and a second surface. The wound-facing surface can be configured to contact a wound of a patient. There can also be at least one conduit having an interior lumen operably connectable to the second surface of the wound dressing, a central window configured to allow air flow from the interior lumen of the conduit to the wound-facing surface of the wound dressing, and a flexible wrap operably connectable to the conduit.

An apparatus operable to facilitate the flow of fluids through an intravenous site including a main body. The main body includes a first pair of securing members extending outward from the main body and a second pair of securing members extending outward from the main body. The apparatus further includes a splinting member with a longitudinal and latitudinal profile that includes a bell curved frustum shape.

The invention relates to a flexible application aid for the treatment of wounds. The application aid can be used in particular for the debridement and/or cleansing of wounds, including the skin surrounding the wound. The application aid according to the invention including a flexible or elastically deformable application wand, facilitates debridement of superficial to deep wounds without the risk of injury to the wound.

A dressing assembly for use with a reduced pressure treatment system, the dressing assembly develops a directed force under reduced pressure. The directed force may be a radial force or a closing force. The dressing assembly includes a shaped dressing bolster having a shaped extremity that is operable to evenly deliver the radial force and to distribute reduced pressure. Numerous shapes may be used for the shaped extremity. The dressing assembly may further include an over-drape to assist in creating a seal over the shaped dressing bolster and against a portion of a patient's epidermis.

A wound protection device can include a frame having a plurality of first members and a plurality of second members. The first members can be spaced relative to each other. The second members can be spaced relative to each other and can be coupled to the first members. The first members and the second members can define a plurality of a gaps through which a fluid can enter the frame. The frame can be configured to circumscribe a wound.

The compressive bandage includes an elastic cap to fit over the patient's head wound and head. The cap is impervious to fluid and has a fluid pervious inboard sleeve pocket. An absorbent pad placed in the sleeve since the sleeve and the cap expands. The loaded bandage is placed on the head wound. The pocket patch is a micro fiber, polyester fabric, preferably NIKE DRY FIT material. The head wound is stanched by placing the over the head wound. After the first use and after removal from the wounded head, the first pad is withdrawn from the pocket, a second pad in inserted and the compressive bandage is again placed on the head wound. After the first use or the second use, the bandage can be washed and sterilized.

A see-through dressing assembly is presented for use with a reduced-pressure system for treating a wound on a patient using reduced pressure that allows visual observation of the wound during treatment. The dressing assembly includes a bolster for providing a directed force when under reduced pressure, a sealing member for covering the bolster and providing a seal over the bolster and a patient's epidermis, and wherein the bolster and sealing member are formed from see-through materials sufficient to allow perception of color from a point external to the system. Other systems, dressings, and methods are presented.

A post-surgery protective garment is worn by an animal to prevent the animal from biting or licking incision areas, until those incision areas are completely healed on the animal. The post-surgery protective garment includes a torso-covering sheet, a left placket, a right placket, and a plurality of placket fasteners. The torso-covering sheet encloses the torso of a four-legged animal and covers incision wounds made on the torso. The left placket and the right placket secures the torso-covering sheet onto the animal. The plurality of placket fasteners attaches the left placket to the right placket. More specifically, the plurality of placket fasteners positions the left placket and the right placket to overlap each other. By adjusting the overlap between the left placket and the right placket, girth of the torso-covering sheet can be widened to fit larger animals.

An apparatus operable to facilitate the flow of fluids through an intravenous site including a main body. The main body includes a first pair of securing members extending outward from the main body and a second pair of securing members extending outward from the main body. The apparatus further includes a splinting member with a longitudinal and latitudinal profile that includes a bell curved frustum shape.

The wound-facing surface can be configured to contact a wound of a patient. There can also be at least one conduit having an interior lumen operably connectable to the second surface of the wound dressing, a central window configured to allow air flow from the interior lumen of the conduit to the wound-facing surface of the wound dressing, and a flexible wrap operably connectable to the conduit.
