AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing negative pressure wound therapy systems cannot effectively manage the use of wound dressings, leading to possible reuse or failure to change them in a timely manner, which affects wound healing. Furthermore, it is difficult for medical staff to directly observe the wound environment during treatment.

⚗Method used

A negative pressure wound therapy system was designed, comprising a wound dressing, a storage medium, a catheter, a collection device, a negative pressure source, and a monitoring device. The monitoring device monitors the usage of the dressing and environmental parameters in real time and provides information display to assist in the management of the dressing's usage.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables real-time monitoring of dressing usage, avoiding reuse or failure to replace dressings in a timely manner, reducing waste, and allowing medical staff to observe the wound environment at any time during treatment, thereby improving treatment outcomes.

Abstract

A negative-pressure wound therapy system for assisting in managing the usage of a wound dressing, comprising the wound dressing, a storage medium, a catheter, a collection apparatus, a negative pressure source, a monitoring apparatus, and a tube body. The wound dressing is used for application to a wound. The storage medium is arranged on the wound dressing and configured for storing information about the wound dressing. The catheter is connected to the wound dressing. The collection apparatus is connected to the catheter. The monitoring apparatus is in communication connection with the storage medium. The tube body extends through the monitoring apparatus and connects the collection apparatus and the negative pressure source. The monitoring apparatus receives the information about the wound dressing and determines, according to the information about the wound dressing, whether the wound dressing has been used for treatment. If the wound dressing has been used for treatment, the monitoring apparatus displays that the wound dressing is being reused. If the wound dressing has not been used for treatment, the monitoring apparatus displays that the wound dressing is being used for the first time.
