Abstract
Wound occlusion devices and methods for acute treatment of massively bleeding external wounds are described. The wound occlusion devices may include a base element, a sealing element, and a release mechanism. The sealing element may be configured to transform between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration by the release mechanism. The expanded configuration of the sealing element may be adaptable to the shape of a wound W, forming a form-locked and/or force-locked connection with the wound W. The form-locked and/or force-locked connection of the sealing element with the wound W may provide an occlusion function.
Claims35
A wound occlusion device insertable into a wound W, comprising:
- a base element;
- a sealing element comprising a frame element and a layer element;
- and
- a release mechanism, wherein the sealing element is transformable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration by the release mechanism, the expanded configuration of the sealing element having a funnel-like shape adaptable to a shape of the wound W, forming a form-locked and/or force-locked connection with the wound W, the form-locked and/or force-locked connection of the sealing element with the wound W providing an occlusion function.
A wound occlusion device insertable into a wound W, comprising:
- a housing having a shape of a cylinder with a closed end and an open end;
- a carrier element, a sealing element, and a base element insertable into the housing, wherein the sealing element comprises a frame element and a layer element;
- and
- a release mechanism, wherein the sealing element is transformable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration by the release mechanism, the expanded configuration of the sealing element having a shape adaptable to a shape of the wound W, forming a form-locked and/or force-locked connection with the wound W, the form-locked and/or force-locked connection of the sealing element with the wound W providing an occlusion function.
A wound occlusion device insertable into a wound W, comprising:
- a base element;
- a rod-like bar element comprising a retain apparatus, wherein the base element and the rod-like bar element are releasably coupled to each other by interacting connector portions, the interacting connector portions comprising screw elements or bayonet elements;
- a sealing element comprising a frame element and a layer element;
- and
- a release mechanism, wherein the sealing element is transformable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration by the release mechanism, the expanded configuration of the sealing element having a shape adaptable to a shape of the wound W, forming a form-locked and/or force-locked connection with the wound W, the form-locked and/or force-locked connection of the sealing element with the wound W providing an occlusion function.
