Abstract
A system for wound treatment includes adjunctive wound therapy devices and substrates comprising multiple first reservoirs and multiple second reservoirs. Selected ones of the multiple first reservoirs include a reducing agent, and first reservoir surfaces of selected ones of the multiple first reservoirs are proximate to a first substrate surface. Selected ones of the multiple second reservoirs include an oxidizing agent, and second reservoir surfaces of selected ones of the multiple second reservoirs are proximate to the first substrate surface.
Claims18
A wound dressing comprising a substrate comprising biocompatible electrodes capable of generating at least one of a low level electric field (LLEF) or low level micro current (LLMC), wherein the substrate comprises at least one discontinuous region comprising at least one long axis, wherein said wound dressing is expandable perpendicular to said long axis.
A wound management system expandable along at least one axis, such wound management system comprising a pliable dressing material comprising on its surface a multi-array matrix of biocompatible microcells, wherein such matrix comprises:
- a first array forming a pattern of microcells formed from a first conductive material, and a second array forming a pattern of microcells formed from a second conductive material, such conductive material capable of defining at least one voltaic cell for spontaneously generating at least one electrical field with the metal species of the first array, wherein the wound management system further comprises at least one discontinuous region comprising at least one long axis, wherein said wound management system is expandable perpendicular to said long axis.
