Abstract
A medical apparatus comprises a dressing, one or more sensor elements integrated into the dressing, a flexible membrane coupled to the dressing, and an adhesive layer coupled to the dressing and coupled to the flexible membrane, the adhesive layer capable of attaching the apparatus to a patient's skin.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- a dressing;
- one or more sensor elements integrated into the dressing further comprising:
- patterned conductive inks integrated into the dressing;
- dielectric insulators selectively patterned in combination with the patterned conductive inks to form the one or more sensor elements;
- and
- a foam layer coupled to the patterned conductive inks and the dielectric insulators;
- a flexible membrane coupled to the dressing;
- and
- an adhesive layer coupled to the dressing and coupled to the flexible membrane, the adhesive layer capable of attaching the apparatus to a patient's skin.
6 more elements
A film barrier dressing comprising:
- a flexible frame with an interior void;
- a flexible protective film coupled to the flexible frame and extending over the interior void, the flexible protective film being at least partly transparent to permit viewing through the flexible frame interior void;
- one or more sensor elements integrated into one or more portions of the flexible frame and the flexible protective film comprising:
- patterned conductive inks integrated into the film barrier dressing;
- dielectric insulators selectively patterned in combination with the patterned conductive inks to form the one or more sensor elements;
- and
- a foam layer coupled to the patterned conductive inks and the dielectric insulators.
4 more elements
A film barrier dressing comprising:
- a dressing comprising:
- a base film layer;
- one or more layers of a conductive ink selectively patterned over the base film layer;
- one or more layers of a dielectric insulator selectively positioned alternating with the one or more conductive ink layers, the conductive ink and dielectric insulator layers being configured to form one or more sensor elements;
- a foam layer coupled between the base film layer and the alternating conductive ink and dielectric insulator layers;
- and
- a flexible membrane coupled to the dressing.
