Benefits of technology
The device effectively promotes hemostasis and wound drainage without reopening the wound, facilitating long-term use, reducing infection risk, and minimizing blood transfusions, while allowing for cost-effective patient care and pain management.
Problems solved by technology
The devices and methods disclosed in WO0222059A1 are not suited for this purpose as there is for instance a desire that post-operative surgical confined wounds are not opened again unnecessarily.
The balloon may thus adhere to the wound and injure the patient upon removal of the device from the wound.
The balloon is also placed on the outside of the catheter, which may result in complications when removing the device from enclosed wounds.
However due to the balloon being on the outside of the catheter removal from an enclosed wound would required reopening the wound, thus increasing the chances for infection.
The balloon is spherical or toroidal and does not efficiently adapt to wound tissue topography.
A wound healing process in a confined wound is not supported by this device.
The device is for very short term use in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) applications and not suitable for stopping bleeding in confined wounds.
No wound drainage devices or wound treatment are provided.
Furthermore no wound healing mechanisms are provided.

A wound drainage and hemostasis promoting medical device (1) are disclosed. A balloon (15) is temporary inflated and arranged outside a sheath (10), in contact with tissue surrounding a wound cavity for hemostasis promotion. The drainage device comprises a fluid communication channel for wound exudate from wound. The balloon is deflated and retracted into said sheath for removal from said wound cavity. Thus the medical device is percutaneously retractable from said confined wound.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 575,287 filed Aug. 16, 2012 entitled Post Operative Wound Support Device, which is the U.S. National Phase of International Patent Application No. PCT / EP2011 / 051178, International Filing Date 27 Jan. 2011, entitled Post Operative Wound Support Device, which claims benefit of European Patent Application No. 10151829.8, filed 27 Jan. 2010, entitled Post Operative Wound Support Device And Method, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention pertains in general to the field of medical devices. More particularly the invention relates post operative wound support devices and procedures, and more particularly to such devices and procedures related to bleeding control and wound exudate handling of confined wounds, including draining of the exudate and promoting hemostasis in subcutaneous tissue surrounding a wound cavi...
