CA 2566947
A wound treatment appliance is provided that generally comprises a gas- impermeable flexible overlay that covers all or a portion of a wound for purposes of applying a reduced pressure to the covered portion of the wound. When reduced pressure is applied to the flexible overlay, it collapses in the approximate direction of the wound, producing an approximately hermetic seal between the flexible overlay and the body in the area of the wound. In addition, the appliance may further comprise a collection chamber to collect and store exudate from the wound. The appliance may also comprise a vacuum system to supply reduced pressure to the wound in the area under the flexible overlay. Further, the appliance may include wound packing means to assist in wound healing. The appliance may also include a suction drain. Finally, methods are provided for using the appliance.
Un appareil de traitement de blessures comprend normalement une couche flexible imperméable au gaz recouvrant tout ou une partie de la blessure afin d'appliquer une pression réduite sur la partie recouverte de la blessure. Lors de l'application d'une pression réduite sur la couche flexible, elle s'affaisse dans le sens à proximité de la blessure, produisant ainsi un joint approximativement hermétique entre la couche flexible et le corps dans la zone de la blessure. Par ailleurs, l'appareil peut également comprendre une chambre de collecte recueillant et stockant l'exsudat provenant de la blessure. L'appareil peut également comprendre un système sous vide permettant d'appliquer une pression réduite sur la blessure dans la zone se trouvant sur la couche flexible. L'appareil peut comprendre un moyen de bourrage de la blessure afin de faciliter sa cicatrisation. L'appareil peut également comporter un drain d'aspiration. On prévoit finalement des procédés d'utilisation de l'appareil.
