A dressing for treating a tissue site, particularly an abdominal or peritoneal site, is disclosed. In some embodiments, the dressing may comprise a tissue interface formed from a first layer of a liquid-impermeable material and a plurality of manifolding bubbles formed as part of the first layer. In some embodiments, the tissue interface may further comprise a second layer of a permeable material, where the manifolding bubbles are formed as closed cells between the first layer and the second layer. The tissue interface may also include a third layer of liquid-impermeable material positioned adjacent to the second layer, where one or more fluid passageways may be formed between the second layer and third layer for delivering a therapeutic fluid to the tissue site.

A wound care device for delivering topical oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, and a low intensity vacuum therapy for treatment of a wound. The wound care device may include an oxygen supply MEA, an oxygen consuming MEA, a vacuum pump and motor, a pressure sensor, and a power supply and electronic controls. A dressing may be connected to the wound care device for administering topical continuous oxygen therapy and simultaneous negative pressure wound therapy to a wound. A canister or exudate trap may be positioned between the dressing and the vacuum supply port of the vacuum pump to collect and store exudates from the wound. The canister may be combined with the dressing.

A wound irrigation system and method of making and using. The system uses a pored, closed-ended delivery conduit to enhance the consistency and speed with which anti-microbial or related irrigation fluids may be delivered in order to promote cleansing, debridement and biofilm reduction in wounds. The ease of use of the system as a moist wound healing cascade makes it applicable to both in-home and in-facility environments that is not offered through traditional instillation negative pressure systems. In one form, the fluid delivery conduit is used as part of a dual-conduit approach in order to also help promote the removal of drainage, waste, irrigation overflow or other fluid from the wound. Utilization of such a pored, closed-ended delivery conduit in conjunction with a separate drainage conduit infusing helps reduce the frequency of dressing changes as well as the likelihood of microorganism formation and colonization.

In some embodiments, a negative pressure wound closure system and methods for using such a system are described. Certain disclosed embodiments facilitate closure of the wound by preferentially contracting to exert force on the tissue. Some embodiments may utilize a collapsible structure with a plurality of cells.

A medical system including a compressible device, and a covering over the compressible device, wherein the covering includes a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration, wherein, in the delivery configuration, the covering at least partially covers the compressible device to maintain the compressible device in a compressed state, and wherein, in the deployed configuration, the covering is releasable from the device to transition the compressible device from the compressed state to an expanded state.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a wound treatment apparatus with electronic components integrated within a wound dressing. In some embodiments, a wound dressing apparatus can comprise a wound contact layer, an absorbent layer over the wound contact layer, the absorbent layer comprising one or more apertures, a cover layer configured to cover and form a seal over the wound contact layer and the absorbent layer, and an electronics assembly comprising a negative pressure source. The cover layer can be configured to be compressed within the aperture in the absorbent layer when negative pressure is applied to the wound dressing apparatus and indicate a level of negative pressure below the cover layer. In some embodiments, the wound dressing apparatus can comprise an indicator material layer configured to protrude when negative pressure is applied to the wound dressing apparatus and indicate a level of negative pressure below the cover layer.

A dressing for treating a tissue site, particularly an abdominal or peritoneal site, is disclosed. In some embodiments, the dressing may comprise a tissue interface formed from a first layer of a liquid-impermeable material and a plurality of manifolding bubbles formed as part of the first layer. In some embodiments, the tissue interface may further comprise a second layer of a liquid-impermeable material, where the manifolding bubbles are formed as closed cells between the first layer and the second layer. The tissue interface may also include a third layer of liquid-impermeable material positioned adjacent to the second layer, where one or more fluid passageways may be formed between the second layer and third layer for delivering a therapeutic fluid to the tissue site.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for providing negative pressure to a tissue site are disclosed. Some embodiments are illustrative of an apparatus or system for delivering negative-pressure to a tissue site that can be used in conjunction with sensing properties of fluids extracted from a tissue site. For example, an apparatus may comprise a dressing interface or connector that includes a pH sensor, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor and/or a pressure sensor embodied on a single pad within the connector and proximate the tissue site to provide data indicative of acidity, humidity, temperature and pressure. Such apparatus may further comprise an ambient port for providing the pressure sensor and the humidity sensor with access to the ambient environment providing readings relative to the atmospheric pressure and humidity.

The disclosure relates to a hemostatic device (1) comprising at least a first chamber (100) configured to be fluidically connected to a fluid source and a second chamber (200) configured to be fluidically connected to a vacuum source, wherein the hemostatic device comprises a first membrane (201) fluidically isolating the second chamber (200) from the first chamber (100) and a second membrane (202) configured to be placed so as to face, at least partially, a bleeding area of a natural body cavity, the second membrane (202) comprising a plurality of through holes (203) leading into the second chamber (200) and configured to induce a negative pressure in the natural body cavity when a negative pressure is applied in the second chamber (200) by the vacuum source, the induced negative pressure being configured so that the walls of the natural body cavity are attracted to the second membrane (202).

A device is configured for use in negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). The device includes a tube having a tube proximal end and a tube distal end and A coil having a plurality of windings extending from a coil proximal end to a coil distal end. The coil distal end is coupled to the tube proximal end in a manner that enables application of a negative pressure from within the coil through the coil to tissue surrounding the coil. The coil comprises a space between adjacent ones of the plurality of windings, the space having a predetermined dimension.
