Abstract
To offload forces from a tissue site being treated with reduced pressure, an offloading pressure component may be used as part of a reduced-pressure treatment system. A reduced-pressure source of the reduced-pressure treatment system vents positive pressure exhaust into the offloading pressure component to inflate the offloading pressure component. The offloading pressure component disperses forces away from the tissue site. Other devices, methods, and systems are presented.
Claims18
An apparatus for use with a reduced-pressure treatment system, the apparatus comprising:
- a drape for forming a sealed space;
- an inflatable bladder coupled to the drape for dispersing positive pressure exerted on or near the drape, the inflatable bladder configured to receive positive pressure to inflate the inflatable bladder.
