Wound dressing device, assembly and method

A method for dressing a wound, comprising:

• fixing a clotting mold device on top the wound,
• said device comprises a cavity surrounded by lips that are configured for attachment to skin in a fluid tight manner, and
• said fixing comprises attaching the lips to skin portions surrounding the wound to thereby form a mold space defined between the wound and the cavity;
• introducing blood into the mold space and permitting the blood to clot within the mold space to thereby form a blood clot over the wound;
• and
• maintaining the blood clot over the wound for a wound-healing period.

A wound dressing assembly, comprising

• a clotting mold device comprising a cavity defined by concave walls surrounded by lips configured for attachment to skin in a fluid tight manner, wherein, for introducing blood into the cavity once said lips are attached to the skin, the concave walls of the clotting mold device comprise one of (i) a portion being pierceable and suitable for introducing blood into the cavity, and (ii) a port suitable for introducing said blood into the cavity,
• a device for introducing blood into the cavity after it is fixed over a wound to permit the blood to come into contact with the wound and to clot over the wound within said cavity;
• and
• a blood coagulation initiator.
