METHOD AND DEVICE FOR APPLYING CLOSED INCISION NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for treating a surgically closed incision.SOLUTION: A surgical tissue therapy device 100 includes a sealant layer 110 and a collection chamber 120. The sealant layer functions so as to create a sealed enclosure, or space between it and the surface of a patient, by forming an airtight seal around a surgical area of skin trauma. The surgical tissue therapy device comprises an elongate tubular chamber with a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings 150. The collection chamber is configured to be in fluid communication with the sealant layer and the area of skin trauma and functions as to distribute the negative pressure applied to a surgically closed area of skin trauma. The pressure under the sealant layer is reduced by expanding the volume of the sealed space, thereby decreasing the density of air molecules under the sealant layer. The collection material comprises a material and/or a configuration that permits length changes based on the length corresponding to the surgical wound or incision.
