Publication number: 20230103651Abstract: A wound dressing for use in a vacuum wound therapy treatment includes a backing layer for positioning over a wound to define a reservoir in which a reduced pressure may be maintained over the wound. A portal member affixed to the backing layer provides a connection to a reduced pressure source through an opening in an ambient surface. A primary port extends between the opening and a primary aperture in a reservoir surface to providing fluid communication between the reservoir and the reduced pressure source. At least one supplemental port establishes fluid communication between the primary port and a supplemental aperture in the reservoir surface that is distinct and substantially spaced from the primary aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Julia-Rose Anderson, Richard M. Braga, Deirdre McKeown, Adam M. Ruggles, Chirag B. Shah, David R. Swisher, Mark A. Vess, Ronald F. Vitaris

Patent number: 10016545Abstract: A composite wound dressing and delivery apparatus includes a substantially transparent dressing layer having a lower surface that is coated with a pressure sensitive for applying the dressing layer over a wound to define a reservoir in which a negative pressure may be maintained. A substantially transparent backing layer adhered to the lower surface of the dressing layer in a releasable manner, and a vacuum port is centrally located on the dressing layer. The vacuum port is adapted to provide fluid communication between a vacuum source and the reservoir through the dressing layer. A targeting grid associated with either the dressing layer or the backing layer includes regularly spaced reference marks along at least two axes extending from the vacuum port.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Ronald F. Vitaris, Julia-Rose Anderson, Deirdre McKeown, Adam M. Ruggles
