Publication number: 20240074907Abstract: Devices and methods for wound treatment are disclosed. A chamber may define a treatment space having an interior engineered surface including a plurality of structures configured to provide pathways for the distribution of negative pressure and to exert mechanical stress on a wound. One or more tubes may be in fluid communication with the treatment space to facilitate the application of negative pressure, the introduction of therapeutic agents, and the removal of wound material. Therapeutic agents may be formulated with a gel, for example, a hydrogel, a hydrocolloid, alginate, methyl cellulose, gelatin or any other gels for sustained-release and enhanced usability. A wound fluid collection device including an absorbable material may interface with the wound treatment device to facilitate the collection and disposal of wound material.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Elof Eriksson, Michael Broomhead
