  • Reduced pressure wound dressing having a wound contact surface with columnar protrusions
    Patent number: 9107989
    Abstract: A reduced pressure treatment system includes a distribution manifold having a backing substrate with a first side and a second side and a plurality of protrusions positioned on the first side of the backing substrate. Each of the protrusions includes a substantially circular cross-sectional shape and has a diameter of between about 0.1 and 2.0 millimeters, the backing substrate having a plurality of apertures formed therein to allow fluid communication between the first side and the second side opposite the first side. A reduced pressure source is fluidly connected to the apertures of the backing substrate to deliver the reduced pressure through the apertures, between the protrusions, and to a tissue site.
    Type: Grant

  • Reduced pressure wound dressing having a wound contact surface with columnar protrusions
    Patent number: 8057447
    Abstract: A reduced pressure treatment system is provided for delivering a reduced pressure to a tissue site comprising a distribution manifold including a backing substrate with a first side and a second side and a plurality of protrusions positioned on the first side of the backing substrate, each of the protrusions having a substantially circular cross-sectional shape and having a diameter of between about 0.1 and 2.0 millimeters, the backing substrate having a plurality of apertures formed therein to allow fluid communication between the first side and the second side opposite the first side. A reduced pressure source fluidly connects to the apertures of the backing substrate to deliver the reduced pressure through the apertures, between the protrusions, and to the tissue.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE OF AGENT IN COMBINATION WITH SUBATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE TISSUE TREATMENT
    Publication number: 20090270820
    Abstract: A reduced pressure therapy system includes a foam pad having a plurality of passages to distribute a reduced pressure to a tissue. The foam pad includes exterior surfaces and interior surfaces along the plurality of passages. A silver coating uniformly covers the exterior surfaces of the foam pad and the interior surfaces along the passages. A drape is adapted to be positioned over the foam pad to maintain a sealable space over the wound, and a vacuum source is in fluid communication with the sealable space to deliver the reduced pressure to the sealable space.
