Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 571,837, filed May 17,2004. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of wound treatment and, in particular, to a wound chamber with a remote access port. Background technique [0004] People use various techniques to treat open wounds. In some cases, open wounds can be treated with wet or dry gauze. However, such treatments can lead to excessively painful wound dehydration, loss of fluid and protein, loss of heat, or delayed healing. To delay the onset of infection, burn wounds may additionally be treated with antiseptic ointments and the like. [0005] Open wounds heal faster in an environment moderate between dry and wet. Locally swollen wounds healed faster when covered with a polyethylene film than when exposed to air. Traditionally, dressings that are somewhat permeable provide the best conditions for healing.
