Abstract: In an example is a system for providing treatment to a tissue site. The system may include a tissue interface for transporting fluid to the tissue site. The system may further include a cover for providing a sealed space including the tissue interface. The system may further include a negative-pressure source fluidly coupled to the tissue interface and providing negative pressure. The system may further include a hyperoxic fluid source fluidly coupled to the tissue interface and providing a hyperoxic fluid. The system may further include a controller for controlling the negative pressure and the hyperoxic fluid so as to maintain the sealed space at a negative pressure while the hyperoxic fluid is provided to the sealed space.

Abstract: A treatment system (100) for debriding an area of a tissue site is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system may include a debridement tool (122) which may be fluidly connected to a negative-pressure source (116) and a fluid source (118). The system may also include a control unit for interfacing with an operator and for regulating the application of negative pressure and delivery of treatment fluid to the debridement tool. The debridement tool may include multiple fluid conduits for delivering and removing fluid to and from the tissue site, as well as a brush (128) for assisting with the removal of necrotic tissue.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are presented that facilitate the provision of reduced pressure to a tissue site by using a delivery-and-fluid-storage bridge, which separates liquids and gases and provides a flow path for reduced pressure. In one instance, a delivery-and-fluid-storage bridge includes a delivery manifold for delivering reduced pressure to a treatment manifold at the tissue site and an absorbent layer proximate the delivery manifold adapted to receive and absorb liquids. The delivery manifold and the absorbent layer are encapsulated in an encapsulating pouch. A first aperture is formed proximate a first longitudinal end of the delivery-and-fluid-storage bridge for fluidly communicating reduced pressure to the delivery manifold from a reduced-pressure source, and a second aperture is formed on a patient-facing side of the delivery-and-fluid-storage bridge. Reduced pressure is transferred to the tissue site via the second aperture. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for purging a negative pressure wound therapy system.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for utilizing a dressing having a single manifold fluidly coupled to at least two therapy units in a negative-pressure therapy and/or instillation therapy environment as set forth herein. In one example embodiment wherein the therapy system comprises two therapy units, apparatus and methods may be utilized for alternately applying pressure or fluids to a single tissue site to more quickly remove large amounts of fluid from the tissue site.

Abstract: A reduced pressure treatment system includes a liquid-collection canister for collecting liquid from a tissue site to which reduced pressure treatment is applied. The canister includes a first space configured to collect the liquid from the tissue site and a filter having a frame and a non-planar filter element. The filter defines a second space within the canister separated from the first space by the filter element. The filter element substantially prevents liquid from passing from the first space into the second space. The filter element substantially allows gaseous communication between the first space and the second space when the second space is exposed to a reduced pressure.
