A modular, reduced-pressure, wound-closure system for generating a closing force on a surface wound on a patient includes a sealed contracting member, a plurality of attachment base members, and a plurality of connecting members. The combination of the plurality of attachment base members and plurality of connecting members forms a circumferential wall around the surface wound. The sealed contracting member is operable to be disposed within an interior space defined by the circumferential wall and coupled to at least of portion of the circumferential wall. When reduced pressure is provided to the sealed contracting member, the sealed contracting member contracts and the circumferential wall delivers a closing force. Other systems and methods 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 chez un patient. Le système comporte un élément de contraction hermétique, une pluralité déléments de fixation de base et une pluralité déléments de liaison. La combinaison de la pluralité déléments de fixation de base et de la pluralité déléments de liaison forment une paroi circonférentielle autour de la plaie superficielle. Lélément de contraction hermétique peut être disposé dans un espace interne défini par la paroi circonférentielle et couplé à au moins une partie de la paroi circonférentielle. Lorsquune pression réduite est appliquée à lélément de contraction hermétique, celui-ci se contracte et la paroi circonférentielle exerce une force de fermeture. Linvention concerne également des systèmes et des méthodes.
