Publication number: 20190254879Abstract: A surgical tissue therapy device includes a sealant layer and a collection chamber. The sealant layer functions so as to create a sealed enclosure or space between it and the surface of a patient by forming, preferably, an airtight seal around a surgical area of skin trauma. The closed incision tissue therapy device also comprises a collection chamber, which may comprise an elongate tubular chamber with a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings. The collection chamber may be configured to be in fluid communication with the sealant layer and the area of skin trauma and functions as to distribute the negative pressure applied to a surgically closed area of skin trauma. Preferably, the pressure under the sealant layer is reduced by expanding the volume of the enclosure space and thereby decreasing the density of air molecules under the sealant layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2019Publication date: August 22, 2019Inventors: Dean HU, Moshe PINTO, Kenton FONG, Akshay MAVANI, Kenneth WU

Publication number: 20180236146Abstract: Devices for treating fistulas may include a cap with a vacuum port, a spacer with a lumen therethrough, a first distal anchor, and a second distal anchor. The devices may be configured to transmit negative pressure through the vacuum port, the spacer lumen, and an opening in the first distal anchor to releasably seal the first and second distal anchors to tissue, thereby securing the devices in place. The first distal anchor may also include a plurality of openings that form vacuum pathways that transmit the negative pressure. The cap may also include a flush lumen, which may allow flushing of a fistula tract without removal of the device. Methods of treating fistulas may include applying negative pressure to a fistula treatment device to anchor the device and flushing a tract of the fistula using a flushing fluid with the fistula treatment device in-situ.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2017Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Harold F.

Publication number: 20160324693Abstract: A surgical tissue therapy device includes a sealant layer and a collection chamber. The sealant layer functions so as to create a sealed enclosure or space between it and the surface of a patient by forming, preferably, an airtight seal around a surgical area of skin trauma. The closed incision tissue therapy device also comprises a collection chamber, which may comprise an elongate tubular chamber with a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings. The collection chamber may be configured to be in fluid communication with the sealant layer and the area of skin trauma and functions as to distribute the negative pressure applied to a surgically closed area of skin trauma.
