Patent number: 11737925Abstract: A composite wound dressing apparatus promotes healing of a wound via the use of a micropump system housed within or above a wound dressing member. The micropump system includes a miniature pump that applies a subatmospheric pressure to the wound to effectively draw wound fluid or exudate away from the wound bed without the need for a cumbersome external vacuum source. Hence, the wound dressing and micropump system is portable which allows the patient mobility that is unavailable when an external vacuum source is used. The patient does not need to be constrained for any period of time while exudate is being removed from the wound.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Smith & Nephew, Inc.Inventors: Kurt Haggstrom, Alain Tranchemontagne, Loredana Jinga

Publication number: 20160271328Abstract: A syringe assembly for dispensing medicine from a cartridge having a diaphragm and a piston opposite the diaphragm. The assembly includes a barrel having a hollow interior, an open proximal end, a closed distal end, and an outlet. The assembly also includes a cartridge receiver slidably receivable in the hollow interior of the barrel. The receiver includes an interior space for receiving the cartridge, an access needle extending into the interior space for puncturing the diaphragm of the cartridge. The access needle directs fluid to the barrel outlet. The cartridge receiver includes a plunger rod movable into the interior space of the cartridge receiver for engaging the piston of the cartridge to selectively force medicine in the cartridge through the access needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: David Selvitelli, Edward Brundidge, III, Mark Callahan, Jeffrey Delnickas, Teshtar Elavia, Melvin Finke, Viviana Guerriero, Loredana Jinga, Brian Sharp, Kathleen Tremblay
