A dynamic gas-flow wound dressing assembly and method for enhancing the effect of generated gas flow across a wound creates spacing between a medical dressing cover and the wound to enhance ventilation. The assembly provides a medical dressing cover that covers a wound. The medical dressing couples to a gas flow framing structure having a gas inlet and enclosed gas outlets. A high rate gas flow is introduced through gas flow framing structure. The gas discharges to cross the wound. A scaffolding partition member serves as a resilient spacer between the gas flow framing structure and wound, enhancing ventilation by forces on the skin and directing gas flow. The scaffolding includes intake ports and outlet ports in fluid communication with inlets and outlets of gas flow framing structure. The scaffolding carries generated gas flow from the gas flow framing structure to wound, covering a larger gas flow volume across wound.

This invention provides wound healing systems, which delivers oxygen to the wound bed and applies negative pressure thereto, where the source of oxygen and negative pressure are simultaneously applied to distal sites of the dressing. Methods of treating wounds and methods of treating or preventing anaerobic infection of wounds using such systems are described.

A wound therapy apparatus is disclosed that includes a wound interface securable to a skin surface around a wound bed to form an enclosed space over the wound bed that is fluid-tight. The wound therapy apparatus may include a dressing engaged with the wound interface to contact the wound bed. Gas within the enclosed space may have an O.sub.2 concentration greater than the O.sub.2 concentration in atmospheric air. The dressing may include a hydrophobic material, hydrophobic material, or a distal layer comprised of silicone having fenestrations therein, in various aspects. The pressure p.sub.0 within the enclosed space may vary over a pressure range p.sub.minp.sub.0p.sub.max. Related methods of use are also disclosed.

Oxygen diffusive wound dressings and methods of manufacturing and use are described herein. The wound dressing may generally provide a ready supply of oxygen to a wound being treated via one or more oxygen conduits which are designed to pass oxygen from ambient air or other oxygen reservoirs into proximity to the wound, and may also provide for exudate removal through transecting channels in fluid communication with both the wound surface and a hydrophilic absorbent material.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and devices for delivering gaseous Nitric Oxide (gNO) under therapeutic parameters to reduce infection in a subject. Certain embodiments include devices and systems for delivering pressurized gNO to reduce bioburden and promote healing in the wounds of subjects having various disease conditions, including skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) and osteomyelitis. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides portable wound healing devices for delivering pressurized gNO to the site of a wound to treat various disease conditions in a subject. Other embodiments relate to systems and devices for delivering and for monitoring gaseous Nitric Oxide (gNO) under therapeutic parameters of use to treat a subject. In certain embodiment, the devices include a subject interface unit comprising sensors for detecting gNO pressure and/or gNO flow.

Devices and method for warm gas therapy is provided. Device comprises a gas warmer assembly to warm a first gas to a temperature in a first temperature range to obtain warm first gas. The device comprises a first delivery unit that can deliver the warm first gas to a main treatment chamber which encloses a sub-treatment chamber to retain heat therein. A second delivery unit can receive a therapeutic gas from a gas supply. The second delivery unit comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion substantially passes through the first delivery unit and therapeutic gas in the first portion is warmed by the warm first gas. The second portion delivers the warm therapeutic gas to a sub-treatment chamber. The sub-treatment chamber encloses a body part of a patient.

A wound oxygen supply system includes a chassis that defines an oxygen outlet. an oxygen production subsystem is included in the chassis and coupled to the oxygen outlet. A control subsystem is coupled to the oxygen production subsystem and configured to receive humidity information that is indicative of a humidity experienced by the oxygen production subsystem. The control system then uses the humidity information to control power provided to the oxygen production subsystem in order to control an oxygen flow that is created by the oxygen production subsystem and provided through the oxygen outlet to a restricted airflow enclosure adjacent a wound site.

The wound dressing apparatus facilitates administration of combined negative pressure and positive pressure treatment at a wound site. The wound dressing apparatus includes a wound dome having a substantially hollow dome interior, a manifold that is in fluid communication with the dome interior, a first passage adapted to connect to a negative pressure source to the dome interior, and a second passage adapted to connect to a positive pressure source to the manifold.

The invention provides an apparatus for the generation and administration of a micro-nanobubble solution to a tissue, a method for the treatment of a tissue with a solution of micro-nanobubbles, and a kit for the treatment of tissue with micro-nanobubbles.

An adjustable misting system and method for treating a region of a biological surface is presented. In an embodiment, a reconfigurable misting nebulizer includes a first misting panel having a plurality of apertures configured to atomize a formulation, and a second misting panel coupled to the first misting panel having a plurality of apertures configured to atomize the formulation. In some embodiments, a relative position of the first misting panel with respect to the second misting panel is adjustable.
