  • Publication number: 20230034369
    Abstract: A wound dressing system configured to determine an exudate uptake pattern of a wound dressing is disclosed. The wound dressing system comprises a wound dressing and a monitor device. The wound dressing comprises an absorbent core layer, a proximal electrode assembly comprising a first plurality of electrodes, and a distal electrode assembly comprising a second plurality of electrodes. The monitor device of the wound dressing system is configured to detect a short-circuiting event across a primary and a secondary electrode of the first/second plurality of electrodes. Further, the monitor device is configured to indicate an exudate uptake pattern of the wound dressing based on the short-circuiting events. Thereby, an optimum or improved use of the wound dressing is enabled and facilitated. Further disclosed is a sensor pack for a wound dressing system and a method for determining an exudate uptake pattern of a wound dressing.

  • Publication number: 20210267814
    Abstract: A Wound Moisture and Assessment System includes a flexible coupon containing one or more electrochemical moisture sensors for measuring a moisture profile of a wound. The coupon is activated by a wireless RF scanner that provides power to the coupon for taking moisture measurements, receives the moisture measurements therefrom, and transmits the measurements to a computing device. The moisture measurements can be represented as a wound moisture map that allows a patient or caregiver to assess the health and healing progress of a wound such as an ulcer.
