A modular, reduced-pressure, wound-closure system for providing a closing force on a surface would includes a flexible strap operable to be formed into a closed loop inbound and around the surface wound and a plurality of modular closing members coupled to the flexible strap. A reduced-pressure source is fluidly coupled to the plurality of modular closing members. The modular closing members are operable to generate a closing force on the surface wound. A portion of the modular closing members are releasably attached to the patient's epidermis proximate the surface wound and another portion are attached to the flexible strap. A reduced pressure from the reduced-pressure source is delivered to each modular closing member to generate the closing force on the surface wound. Methods and other systems are presented.

La présente invention concerne un système de fermeture de plaie modulaire, à pression réduite, permettant dappliquer une force de fermeture sur une plaie superficielle. Le système comporte une sangle souple apte à être formée en boucle fermée à lentrée et autour de la plaie superficielle et une pluralité déléments de fermeture modulaires couplés à la sangle souple. Une source de pression réduite est fluidiquement couplée à la pluralité déléments de fermeture modulaires. Les éléments de fermeture modulaires sont aptes à générer une force de fermeture sur la plaie superficielle. Une partie des éléments de fermeture modulaires est fixée de manière libérable à lépiderme dun patient à proximité de la plaie superficielle et une autre partie est fixée à la sangle souple. Une pression réduite provenant de la source de pression réduite est appliquée à chaque élément de fermeture modulaire afin de générer la force de fermeture sur la plaie superficielle. Linvention concerne également des méthodes et dautres systèmes.
