Abstract: Devices to contain and control the effluent or gastric juices of intestinal fistulas, other fistulas, stomas, and other wounds. The device includes a flexible fluid containment lineal strip defining a fluid containment wall which collapses when pressure is applied to the wound dressing, means for forming the lineal strip into any open or closed shape to fit wounds of various shape and size, means for joining the lineal strip to create closed effluent containment areas, means for creating a seal at the wound bed interface whereby effluent is contained, and means for interfacing with a pouch appliance to capture effluent and bowel contents until bowel contents can be emptied into a toilet or other waste receptacle.

Abstract: An enteric fistula healing device, configured for application over a fistula or other wound to physically separate the fistula from the remainder of the wound area, such that any effluent from the intestine or bowel, or other enteric substances, that pass through the fistula are prevented from communicating with the wound area. The device is configured to collapse from a first height to a shorter second height.
