Abstract
Systems and methods can promote wound healing, including a wound dressing having a wound-facing surface and a second surface. The wound-facing surface can be configured to contact a wound of a patient. There can also be at least one conduit having an interior lumen operably connectable to the second surface of the wound dressing, a central window configured to allow air flow from the interior lumen of the conduit to the wound-facing surface of the wound dressing, and a flexible wrap operably connectable to the conduit.
Claims20
A system for improving wound healing, comprising:
- a wound dressing having a wound-facing surface and a second surface, the wound-facing surface configured to contact a wound of a patient;
- at least one conduit having an interior lumen, the conduit operably connectable to the second surface of the wound dressing, wherein the conduit comprises a window configured to allow air flow from the interior lumen of the conduit to the wound-facing surface of the wound dressing;
- one or more sensors configured to measure patient movement, wound condition, and/or an operating parameter of the conduit;
- and
- a processor in operable communication with the sensors, wherein based upon one or more measurements from the one or more sensors the processor is configured to:
- automatically adjust a sensor, valve, and/or actuator coupled to the conduit to modulate an operating parameter of the conduit which influences the wound healing environment, and/or
- provide instructions to a user related to use of the conduit.
