Problems solved by technology

For example, if the unit is dropped, or subjected to loads or impacts outside of normal operating conditions, all components of the unit are subjected to the load or impact, and serious damage to the more expensive mechanical and / or electronic components may occur
A further disadvantage of the device is that it is difficult to remove and replace the waste tank, especially for less dexterous persons

Embodiment Construction

[0065] Now see attached Figures 1 to 4 , and wherein the same or similar features are indicated by common reference numerals.

[0066] figure 1 A generalized schematic diagram of device 10 for a portable local negative pressure (TNP) system is shown. It will be appreciated that embodiments of the present invention are generally applicable for use in such TNP systems. In short, negative pressure wound therapy assists in the closure and healing of many forms of "hard-to-heal" wounds by reducing tissue edema, promoting blood flow and granular tissue formation, removing excess exudate, and reducing bacteria load (and thus reduce infection). In addition, the therapy allows less disturbance to the wound, resulting in more rapid healing. The TNP system will be described in further detail below, but generally speaking, the TNP system includes a portable body including a tank and a device, wherein the device is capable of providing an extended duration of treatment over a lifetime...

Abstract

Apparatus (200) for the application of topical negative pressure therapy to a user of the apparatus (200) is described together with a method for protecting said apparatus (200) when subjected to abnormal stresses, the apparatus (200) comprising a device (202) and a waste canister (204) releasably connected thereto wherein the device (202) and waste canister (204) are connected together by clip means (222), said clip means (222) being subject to failure upon application of abnormal stresses thereby permitting separation of the device (202) and waste canister (204).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices and methods for applying topical negative pressure (TNP) therapy to wounds. In particular, but not exclusively, the invention relates to device features and methods to prevent or minimize damage when subjected to conditions beyond normal operating conditions. Background technique [0002] There is a lot of available prior art related to providing devices for applying TNP therapy to wounds and methods of use thereof, as well as other therapeutic procedures intended to improve the effect of TNP therapy. Examples of such prior art include those listed and briefly described below. [0003] TNP therapy assists in wound closure and healing by reducing tissue edema, promoting blood flow and tissue granulation, removing excess exudate, and TNP therapy can reduce bacterial load and thereby reduce wound infection. Furthermore, TNP therapy allows less external disturbance of the wound and promotes more rapid healing. ...
