Abstract: An evaporative bridge dressing that may be used with negative-pressure treatment of tissue. The evaporative bridge dressing may have one or more fluid transfer layers comprised of high-density wicking material enclosed between layers of film having high moisture-vapor transfer rates to reduce liquid storage and minimize pressure drop.

Abstract: In some illustrative examples, a bridge suitable for treating a tissue site may include a bridge sealing member and one or more bridge wicking layers. The bridge sealing member may extend along a length of the bridge, and may define an internal passageway in fluid communication between a receiving end of the bridge and a transmitting end of the bridge. The one or more bridge wicking layers may be disposed within the internal passageway of the bridge sealing member. Other apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: One aspect is a method of manufacturing a lead connector for an implantable medical device. The method includes connecting proximal ends of a plurality of conductive pins to a corresponding one of a plurality of ring contacts to form a plurality of ring-pin subassemblies, assembling each of the plurality of ring-pin subassemblies on an assembly frame, including inserting the plurality of conductive pins in a corresponding plurality of openings within the assembly frame such that the corresponding plurality of ring contacts are spaced along a longitudinal dimension of the assembly frame, arranging the assembly frame along with the conductive pins and corresponding ring contacts within a mold cavity, filling the mold cavity with a mold material that surrounds the assembly frame, and removing a resulting lead connector from the mold cavity.
