Patent

CA 2538225

A disposable wound-healing device is disclosed that incorporates a housing having a fluid-impermeable material having a cavity and a perimeter that can be sealed in an air-tight manner over a wound region of a patient. The device is capable of producing a negative pressure over the wound region by either removing oxygen from within the cavity, or absorbing fluid into the cavity and then removing the fluid from the cavity. The oxygen may be removed via chemical absorption, by an electrochemical cell or by a chemical reaction that cannibalizes oxygen from the cavity. The fluid may be removed through the use of osmotic or electro osmotic cells, or through a one-way valve. The negative partial pressure over the wound region promotes healing.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif jetable pour soigner des blessures. Il comporte une enceinte en matériau imperméable aux fluides, définissant une cavité et un périmètre venant se fermer de façon hermétique à l'air au-dessus de la zone de blessure du patient. Ce dispositif permet de créer une dépression au-dessus de la zone touchée, soit par retrait d'oxygène dans la cavité, soit par absorption de fluide dans la cavité, évacuant ensuite le fluide de la cavité. L'oxygène peut être éliminé de la cavité par absorption chimique, par un module électrochimique, ou par une réaction chimique cannibalisant l'oxygène de la cavité. Le fluide peut être éliminé par utilisation, soit d'une cellule à osmose ou à électro-osmose, soit d'une soupape. La dépression relative au-dessus de la zone touchée favorise la guérison.
