Patent

CA 2695526

The present invention provides devices and methods for treating wounds. The devices may include polymer particles capable of absorbing fluid such as blood. When devices of the invention are exposed to fluid, the fluid may enter the device and cause the polymer particles to swell. Devices of the invention may also apply pressure on wound cavities to stop or restrict the flow of fluid. In some embodiments, the devices may comprise components to facilitate absorption of fluid throughout the device, such as wicking elements and/or multiple compartments. One or more of the devices can be placed directly in the wound cavity, or in a containment structure and then into the wound cavity.

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés pour traiter des blessures. Les dispositifs peuvent comprendre des particules en polymère capables d'absorber un fluide, par exemple le sang. Lorsque les dispositifs selon l'invention sont exposés au fluide, le fluide peut entrer dans le dispositif et induire un gonflement des particules de polymère. Les dispositifs de l'invention peuvent aussi appliquer une pression sur des cavités de blessure pour stopper ou restreindre l'écoulement de fluide. Dans certains modes de réalisation, les dispositifs peuvent comprendre des composants qui facilite l'absorption du fluide partout dans le dispositif, par exemple des éléments en mèche et/ou des compartiments multiples. Au moins un des dispositifs peut être placé directement dans la cavité de la blessure ou dans une structure de confinement et ensuite dans la cavité de la blessure.
