Abstract: A method and/or system allowing patients to receive consistent, effective and convenient reliable wound care by applying customized wound dressings fabricated at automatic wound dressing fabricators deployed in medical facilities. Wound dressing specifications are generated with the aid of a computer-based configuration algorithm based on characteristics of the wounds. The generated wound dressing specifications are communicated between the medical facilities to provide consistent and reliable wound dressings without duplicative diagnosis of the wound. Further, telemedicine for wound care may be implemented by communicating the wound dressing specifications to automatic wound dressing fabricators that are remotely located.

Abstract: A method of treating a wound using a customized dressing. In the method, at least one wound characteristic is evaluated. A treatment need as a function of the at least one wound characteristic is determined. A dressing having a dressing characteristic responsive to the treatment need is fabricated and applied to the wound. A dressing for use therewith and an apparatus and system for fabricating the dressing are provided.

Abstract: A method and/or system for customizing wound dressings based on an effective wound treatment protocol created by collecting and analyzing wound treatment records. The wound treatment records are collected from one or more wound treatment facilities. The wound dressings are not customized for each patient based solely on experiences and knowledge of medical practitioners but also based on the wound treatment protocol. Further, an intuitive and systematic user interface for a wound dressing fabricator is provided to allow medical practitioners with varying levels of experiences and knowledge to customize wound dressings for a specific wound. By using the wound treatment protocol and the systematic user interface, flawed wound dressings are less likely to be fabricated. Various other functionalities are also provided to manage and support the wound dressing fabricator.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming a microfiber coating includes directing a liquid solution toward a deposition surface. The apparatus includes a tube defining a volume through which the liquid solution travels. An electric field is applied between the origin of the liquid solution and the surface. A gas is injected into the tube to create a vortex flow within the tube. This vortex flow protects the deposition surface from entrainment of ambient air from the surrounding atmosphere.
