Abstract: A device and method for treatment of post-operative surgical site wounds. The device includes a housing, a spool configured to rotate relative to the housing, and a catheter coupled to the spool. Rotating the spool in one direction winds the catheter about a column disposed on the spool, and enables the catheter to be retracted from the closed wound. In some embodiments, the device further includes a wound dressing disposed about a distal end of the catheter. In some embodiments, retracting the catheter from a closed wound enables a wound dressing to be retracted from the closed wound.

Abstract: A device and method for treatment of post-operative surgical site wounds. Device includes an elongated hollow shaft that spans from the wound closure to the deep wound area, the internal end abutting a wound dressing and the external end connecting to a device that can provide negative-pressure suction and irrigation. Device providing one or more of irrigation, suction, and/or local antibiotic delivery to deep infections through a closed-wound. The method for removal includes narrowing a removal element relative to the long axis, collapsing the wound dressing; removing the wound dressing through the elongated shaft; and removing the device through a closed wound, avoiding a second removal surgery.
