Negative pressure treatment system with heating and cooling provision

A device for promoting wound healing in mammals, comprising:

• a negative pressure source;
• a pad for placement within a wound of a mammal;
• a drape for sealing and enclosing said pad on said wound and for maintaining a reduced pressure within said wound;
• a fluid communication means for communicating between said negative pressure source and said pad;
• a heating element for actively heating said pad;
• and
• a cooling element for actively cooling said pad subsequent to heating said pad;
• and wherein said cooling element comprises at least two sheets having a plurality of apertures and fixedly connected such that said apertures form a plurality of fluid channels.

• a negative pressure source;
• a pad for placement within a wound of a mammal;
• a cover for maintaining a reduced pressure within the wound;
• a fluid communication means for communication between said negative pressure source and said pad;
• and
• a cooling element for actively cooling said pad, wherein said cover is interposed between said pad and said cooling element.
