Abstract: The invention relates to a method for estimating a negative pressure at a wound site during a negative pressure wound therapy. The method comprises the steps of determining a negative pressure value by means of a pressure sensor, determining a pump speed associated with the electrical pump, multiplying the pump speed by a constant to obtain a modification value, and combining said modification value with the negative pressure value determined by means of the pressure sensor to obtain a modified negative pressure value. Said modified negative pressure value corresponds to the estimated negative pressure present at the wound site. The invention further relates to a negative pressure wound therapy system adapted to execute said method of estimating a negative pressure at a wound site.

Abstract: A portable negative pressure wound therapy device adapted to be carried by a user, comprising an electrically actuated suction pump for draining wound fluids from a patient, at least one microelectronic controller, at least one electronic memory and a housing for containing the electrical and/or electronic components. The device further comprises at least one microelectronic impact sensor, wherein the impact sensor is adapted to detect an impact acting on the device.

Abstract: A portable medical device adapted to be carried by a user, comprising at least one electrically actuated means for performing a therapeutic and/or a diagnostic function on a patient, at least one mobile electric power supply, a control unit having at least one microelectronic controller, at least one electronic memory and at least one multi-channel impact sensor unit. The impact sensor unit is adapted to simultaneously detect linear acceleration along the three space axes and angular rates around the three space axes. The impact sensor unit generates impact sensor data sets, which are electronically transferred to the microelectronic controller via an interface. The device further comprises a housing, in which the electric components of the device are contained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening device for a negative-pressure therapy appliance, in particular for negative-pressure treatment of wounds on the human or animal body, comprising a holding means, a hollow body and a receiving area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection device for merging at least two line sections in a vacuum-based wound treatment system, wherein the two line sections are arranged on the wound side in relation to the connection device, and wherein the connection device, on the side thereof facing away from the wound, can be connected to a third, multi-lumen line section leading to a vacuum-generating device; the connection device is designed, according to the invention, such that the at least two line sections have a multi-lumen configuration and these line sections each have a multi-lumen attachment device that can be brought into flow communication with the connection device, and such that separate lumens of the two line sections on the wound side also remain separate from each other inside the connection device and inside the third line section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bandage for use in negative-pressure wound therapy, more particularly for wounds in the abdominal region, comprising a flexible film as a wound contact layer and at least one conduit applied to the film, wherein the conduit communicates with the wound space through openings in the conduit and in the film.
