Abstract
Systems and methods of stimulating or activating fluids for use in wound treatment systems.
Claims44
A wound treatment system comprising:
- a wound dressing;
- a fluid storage device comprising a fluid, wherein the fluid storage device is in fluid communication with the wound dressing;
- an energy source configured to direct energy to the fluid and to activate a therapeutic property of the fluid;
- and
- wherein the energy source is configured to direct energy to the fluid proximal to the wound dressing.
2 more elements
A method of treating a wound, the method comprising:
- applying a wound dressing to a wound;
- transporting fluid to the wound dressing;
- directing energy to the fluid and activating a therapeutic property of the fluid;
- and
- wherein the energy is directed to the fluid proximal to the wound dressing.
2 more elements
A wound treatment system comprising:
- a wound dressing;
- a fluid storage device comprising a fluid, wherein the fluid storage device is in fluid communication with the wound dressing;
- an energy source configured to direct energy to the fluid and to activate a therapeutic property of the fluid;
- a conduit in fluid communication with the fluid storage device and the wound dressing;
- and
- wherein the energy source is configured to direct energy to the fluid in the conduit.
3 more elements
A wound treatment system comprising:
- a wound dressing;
- a fluid storage device comprising a fluid, wherein the fluid storage device is in fluid communication with the wound dressing;
- a conduit in fluid communication with the fluid storage device and the wound dressing;
- a coupling member coupling the conduit to the wound dressing;
- and
- an energy source configured to direct energy to the coupling member and to activate a therapeutic property of the fluid.
3 more elements
A method of treating a wound, the method comprising:
- applying a wound dressing to a wound;
- transporting fluid to the wound dressing;
- providing a fluid storage device and a conduit in fluid communication with the wound dressing;
- and
- directing energy to the fluid when the fluid is in the conduit and activating a therapeutic property of the fluid.
