Embodiment Construction

[0034] Embodiments disclosed herein relate to devices and methods for treating wounds under reduced pressure, including negative pressure sources and wound dressing components and devices. Devices and components comprising wound covering material and filling material, if any, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as a dressing.

[0035] It will be appreciated that references to wounds are made throughout the specification. It should be understood that the term "wound" is to be interpreted broadly and encompasses both open and closed wounds in which the skin is torn, cut or punctured or in which trauma causes a contusion, or any other superficial wound or other wound on the patient's skin. Conditions or defects, or wounds that would otherwise benefit from reduced pressure therapy. Thus, a wound is broadly defined as any area of ​​damaged tissue that may or may not produce fluid. Examples of such wounds include, but are not limited to, abdominal wounds or other large o...

Abstract

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 dressing. The wound dressing can comprise an absorbent material, an electronics unit comprising a negative pressure source, the electronics unit integrated within the wound dressing and at least partiallyencapsulated by a flexible film. The flexible film can comprise a window or aperture configured to permit fluid communication between the absorbent material and the negative pressure source.

Description

[0001] Related applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 558,267, filed September 13, 2017, and UK Patent Application No. 1718070.4, filed November 1, 2017, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein and constitute the present public part. [0003] background technical field [0004] Various embodiments described herein relate to devices, systems, and methods for treating wounds, eg, using a combination of dressings and negative pressure wound therapy. Background technique [0005] The treatment of open or chronic wounds that are too large to close spontaneously or otherwise fail to heal by applying negative pressure to the wound site is well known in the art. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) systems currently known in the art typically involve placing a fluid-impermeable or semi-permeable covering over the wound, using various means to seal the covering to the patient's tissue surround...
