Patent number: 11865280Abstract: A reduced-pressure treatment system for applying reduced pressure to a tissue site at a limited-access location on a patient includes a reduced-pressure source, a treatment manifold for placing proximate the tissue site and operable to distribute reduced pressure to the tissue site, and a sealing member for placing over the tissue site and operable to form a pneumatic seal over the tissue site. The reduced-pressure treatment system also includes a reduced-pressure bridge and a moisture-removing device on at least portion of the reduced-pressure bridge. The reduced-pressure bridge includes a delivery manifold operable to transfer the reduced pressure to the treatment manifold, an encapsulating envelope at least partially enclosing the delivery manifold and having a patient-facing side, and a reduced-pressure-interface site formed proximate one end of the reduced-pressure bridge.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventor: Bruce McNeil

Patent number: 10490034Abstract: An indicator device includes a casing having rearward projecting elements from which coupling hooks extend. The device includes a downwardly facing window as well as two forwardly or upwardly extending windows. The device includes lights or lamps disposed adjacent the windows for generating status and/or warning signals. The device can be hooked onto a support such as a footboard of a hospital bed or placed on a floor with a window exposed. The window is able to direct light from the lighting elements to a surface such as a floor or footboard or other surface. This assists in a caregiver seeing light emanating from the device even when this is covered.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Huntleigh Technology LimitedInventors: Clive Goodfield, Julie Acosta, Bruce McNeil
