Negative pressure wound therapy system capable of detecting viscosity of wound exudates

Abstract

The invention discloses a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system capable of detecting viscosity of wound exudates, comprising an exudates collecting bottle, an NPWT device, a wound kit, a sampling cavity and a detection treatment device, wherein the exudates collecting bottle is used for collecting the wound exudates; the NPWT device comprises a negative pressure source and a controller; the wound kit is used for filling and sealing the wounds and is communicated with the exudates collecting bottle by a connecting pipe; the sampling cavity is used for acquiring the wound exudates in the exudates collecting bottle; and the detection treatment device is used for detecting the viscosity of the wound exudates in the sampling cavity. The system can more exactly detect the viscosity of the wound exudates and help the medical workers judge the state of illnesses.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of negative pressure wound treatment equipment, in particular to a negative pressure wound treatment system capable of detecting the viscosity of wound exudate. Background technique [0002] Negative pressure wound therapy equipment, called Negative_Pressure_Wound_Therapy_Devices in the United States, referred to as NPWT, its principle is to promote wound healing by applying negative pressure to the wound. According to the clinical experience in the United States in the past 10 years, the device has a good healing effect on various acute and chronic wounds. [0003] Generally, a negative pressure wound therapy system includes a negative pressure wound therapy device, a wound kit, and a container for collecting exudate from the wound (herein, the container is referred to as a liquid collection bottle). Among them, the wound kit is used to seal the wound and create a negative pressure space. The negative pre...

Problems solved by technology

However, in the prior art, there is no specific method for measuring the viscosity of wound exudate. The thickness of the viscosity is generally judged according to the doctor's experience, which is subjective, or some rough calculation methods are used. Limit the accuracy of viscosity measurement, thus affecting the wrong judgment of medical staff on the wound and the wrong treatment

For home care or wound treatment where medical staff are away for a long time, wound deterioration such as wound infection or bleeding occurs, patients generally cannot identify and cannot make timely and correct wound treatment, leading to some accidents
