Combination wound and injury treatment apparatus

A combination wound and injury treatment method, comprising:

• providing a combination wound and injury treatment apparatus configured to accept at least one of an open wound and an injury portion of a patient, the apparatus comprising:
• at least one outer wall having an outer surface and an inner surface and an upper end a lower end;
• at least one inner wall having an outer surface and an inner surface and an upper end and a lower end;
• at least one upper end member having an inner surface and an outer surface;
• at least one lower end member having an inner surface and an outer surface, the upper end member and the lower end member operatively connecting the outer wall and the inner wall such that the inner surface of the outer wall, the inner surface of the inner wall, the inner surface of the upper wall and the inner surface of the lower wall cooperating to form at least one chamber therebetween, the outer surface of the inner wall being configured to encase at least a portion of a patient's body wherein at least a portion of outer surface of the inner wall includes a sterile material operatively associated therewith for contacting at least one of a wound and an injury;
• and
• wherein the at least one chamber is capable of being pressurized such that the sterile material of the outer surface of the inner wall is capable of selectively applying pressure to the wound on the patient's body;
• and
• placing the wound treatment apparatus over at least one of a wound and an injured area of a patient's body;
• applying pressure to the wound with the combination wound and injury treatment apparatus.

A combination wound and injury treatment apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of modular combination wound and injury treatment apparatus, each modular combination wound and injury treatment apparatus comprising:
• at least one outer wall having an outer surface and an inner surface and an upper end a lower end;
• at least one inner wall having an outer surface and an inner surface and an upper end and a lower end;
• at least one upper end member having an inner surface and an outer surface;
• at least one lower end member having an inner surface and an outer surface, the upper end member and the lower end member operatively connecting the outer wall and the inner wall such that the inner surface of the outer wall, the inner surface of the inner wall, the inner surface of the upper wall and the inner surface of the lower wall cooperating to form at least one chamber therebetween, the outer surface of the inner wall being configured to encase at least a portion of a patient's body wherein at least a portion of outer surface of the inner wall includes a sterile material operatively associated therewith for contacting at least one of a wound and an injury;
• and
• wherein the at least one chamber is capable of being pressurized such that the sterile material of the outer surface of the inner wall is capable of selectively applying pressure to the at least one of an open wound and an injury on the patient's body.

A combination wound and injury treatment apparatus comprising:

• a tubular body having a first opening, a second opening, a relatively inflexible outer wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, a relatively flexible inner wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, an upper end member having an inner surface and an outer surface and a lower end member having an inner surface and an outer surface, the first opening, the inner surface of the relatively flexible inner wall and the second opening 16 define a passage through the tubular body for receiving a body part;
• structure formed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the inner wall, the structure being capable of receiving a temperature retaining fluid;
• a chamber, operatively formed between the inner surface of the outer wall and the outer surface of the inner wall, the chamber being capable of being pressurized;
• at least one valve, operatively positioned in the outer wall, the at least one valve being capable of regulating the pressure inside the chamber;
• and
• a sterile substance, operatively positioned contiguous with the outer surface of the inner wall and being capable of being positioned proximate at least one of a wound and an injury.
