MANUALLY ACTIVATED NEGATIVE PRESSURE THERAPY SYSTEM WITH PRESSURE SENSORS

摘要

Negative-pressure therapy systems and methods can implement a feedback module within a pump which includes multiple sensors and fluid passageway(s). Another aspect of a negative-pressure therapy system and method include a feedback module including multiple pressure sensors and/or an electrical circuit within a manually-operably pump where the module is located between a compressible end cap or inlet nozzle and a charging chamber. A further negative-pressure therapy system and method provide a pump coupled to a wound dressing where the pump includes a first sensor which operably senses negative pressure from the dressing, a second sensor which operably senses if a blockage is present at the dressing or tubing therefrom, and at least a third sensor which operably senses pressure associated with a charging chamber of the pump.
