  • Publication number: 20210145648
    Abstract: In some non-limiting examples, a system for stimulating tissue growth at a tissue site may include an interactive body including a body mass and a tissue contact surface configured to contact the tissue site. A plurality of struts and a plurality of voids may be exposed at the tissue contact surface, and may define a tissue interface pattern at the tissue contact surface. The tissue interface pattern may be configured to engage the tissue site and to create tissue deformation in combination with the body mass. Also provided are other systems, apparatus, and methods suitable for stimulating tissue growth.

  • Publication number: 20200188182
    Abstract: In some non-limiting examples, a system for stimulating tissue growth at a tissue site may include a porous foam and a moisture barrier. The porous foam may include an exterior-facing surface, a tissue contact surface, and a plurality of struts positioned at the tissue contact surface. The plurality of struts may be configured to contact the tissue site and to create tissue deformation at the tissue site without the application of a reduced pressure. The moisture barrier may be configured to cover the exterior-facing surface of the porous foam and to trap moisture at the tissue site. Also provided are other systems, apparatus, and methods suitable for stimulating tissue growth.

  • Publication number: 20170053073
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for treating a tissue site are described. In some embodiments, the method may include receiving input information related to a tissue site of a patient, processing the input information in a processor to generate options for a user to select a desired action, and executing the desired action to provide output information related to the tissue site. The method may further include communicating the output information to a user via a communications network.
