Embodiment Construction
[0045] Embodiments disclosed herein relate to devices and methods for monitoring and processing biological tissue with substrates implementing sensors. Embodiments disclosed herein are not limited to treating or monitoring a particular type of tissue or wound, and indeed, the sensor-implementing techniques disclosed herein are broadly applicable to any type of treatment that may benefit from a sensor-implementing substrate. Some embodiments utilize sensors and data acquisition that healthcare providers rely on to make diagnoses and make patient management decisions.
[0046] Some embodiments disclosed herein relate to the use of sensors mounted on or embedded within substrates configured for processing intact and damaged human or animal tissue. Such sensors can gather information about surrounding tissue and transmit such information to a computing device or caregiver for further processing. In some embodiments, these sensors can be attached to the skin anywhere on the body, ...

Abstract
In some embodiments, a wound therapy apparatus includes a wound dressing configured to be positioned over a wound, the wound dressing including a substantially stretchable wound contact layer supporting a plurality of electronic components and a plurality of electronic connections that connect at least some of the plurality of the electronic components. The wound contact layer can include a firstplurality of flocked fibers positioned on a wound facing side of the wound contact layer, the first plurality of flocked fibers including soft material configured to cushion the wound contact layer when the wound dressing is positioned over the wound. The wound contact layer can include a second plurality of flocked fibers positioned on a non-wound facing side opposite the wound facing side.
Description
[0001] background technical field [0002] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, systems, and methods for treating tissue via monitoring of implementing sensors in communication with various treatment areas. Background technique [0003] Almost all fields of medicine could benefit from improved information about the state of a tissue, organ or system being treated, especially if such information is collected in real-time during treatment. Many types of processing are still routinely performed without the use of sensor data acquisition; instead, such processing relies on visual inspection by a caregiver or other limited means rather than quantitative sensor data. For example, in the case of wound management via dressings and / or negative pressure wound therapy, data acquisition is often limited to visual inspection by the caregiver, and often underlying injured tissue may be obscured by bandages or other visual obstructions. Even intact, uninjured skin may ...
