4 results about "Negative-pressure wound therapy" patented technology

Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), also known as a vacuum dressing or V.A.C.® dressing ("vacuum assisted closure"), is a therapeutic technique using a suction dressing to remove excess exudation and promote healing in acute or chronic wounds and second- and third-degree burns. The therapy involves the controlled application of sub-atmospheric pressure to the local wound environment, using a sealed wound dressing connected to a vacuum pump. The use of this technique in wound management increased dramatically over the 1990s and 2000s and a large number of studies have been published examining NPWT. NPWT appears to be useful for diabetic ulcers and management of the open abdomen (laparotomy) but further research is required for other wound types.

Negative pressure wound treatment device

The invention provides a negative pressure wound treatment device which comprises a wound dressing, a liquid storage assembly and a driving assembly which are connected in sequence, and the driving assembly is configured to provide negative pressure for the wound dressing and the liquid storage assembly; wherein the liquid storage assembly can comprise at least one first acting piece, the first end of the first acting piece is communicated with the wound dressing, and the second end of the first acting piece is communicated with the driving assembly; and the at least one second acting piece is in fluid communication with the first acting piece, and the second acting piece is configured to store fluid flowing out of the wound dressing. Therefore, through the arrangement, effective conduction of negative pressure can be improved to a certain extent, and the wound healing effect can be improved.

Intelligent negative pressure flushing closed-loop regulation and control system

The invention relates to a diabetes medical instrument, and provides an intelligent negative pressure flushing closed-loop regulation and control system, which comprises a sensing module used for collecting physiological and environmental parameters reflecting the state of a wound surface in real time; the negative pressure module is used for applying controllable negative pressure to the wound surface; the flushing module is used for conveying a flushing medium to the wound surface; the control module is electrically connected with the sensing module, the negative pressure module and the flushing module and is configured to dynamically adjust negative pressure parameters and / or flushing strategies according to the parameters and trigger a response mechanism when an abnormal state is detected; the power supply and interaction module is used for providing power support and realizing man-machine information interaction; wherein the system is integrated in the same shell to form a wound surface treatment platform with an autonomous closed-loop regulation and control capability. The problems that an existing negative pressure wound therapy device is single in function, lagged in response, lack of active intervention ability and difficult to be suitable for families or grassroots scenes in diabetic foot ulcer treatment are solved.
