Abstract: A reduced pressure delivery system for applying a reduced pressure to a tissue site includes a manifold delivery tube having a passageway and a distal end, the distal end configured to be percutaneously inserted and placed adjacent the tissue site. A flowable material is provided and is percutaneously deliverable through the manifold delivery tube to the tissue site. The flowable material is capable of filling a void adjacent the tissue site to create a manifold having a plurality of flow channels in fluid communication with the tissue site. A reduced pressure delivery tube is provided that is capable of fluid communication with the flow channels of the manifold.

Abstract: Methods, system and compositions for making and using a bioresorbable linked dressing made of bioresorbable microspheres in various configurations are provided for use in applying reduced pressure to a wound site. The methods include manufacture of a bioresorbable dressing comprising a casing and bioresorbable microspheres in the form of a rope shape. Further, the casing of the dressing comprises pores formed by a porogen system that may be activated by external to the wound or formed in situ within the wound site. The shape of the dressing allows the dressing to be placed into the wound site such that it fills the shape and size of the wound. Embodiments include formation of various rope dressing and their use in conjunction with reduced pressure therapy.

Abstract: A method of making a porous bioresorbable dressing is provided for use in applying reduced pressure therapy to a wound site. The process includes manufacture of a dressing by use of one or more bioresorbable polymers and a porogen system. The malleability of the dressing allows the dressing to be placed into the wound site such that it fills the shape and size of the wound. Embodiments include use of hand molding and formation of a rope dressing. The porogen system may be activated external to the wound site or formed in situ within the wound site, thus creating a porous dressing. A reduced pressure delivery tube is fluidly connected to the wound site to delivery a reduced pressure to the wound site.
