  • Publication number: 20230173306
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to apparatuses and methods for wound treatment with ultrasound. In certain embodiments, therapeutic ultrasound wound treatment apparatus includes a wound dressing configured to be positioned over a wound to provide a substantially fluid impermeable seal over the wound and a transducer to deliver therapeutic ultrasound to tissue. The therapeutic ultrasound wound treatment apparatus may further include a wound contact layer configured to be positioned in contact with the wound, a transmission layer positioned above the wound contact layer, an absorbent layer positioned above the transmission layer and configured to absorb wound fluid, and a backing layer positioned above the absorbent layer and including an orifice. Also disclosed are multiple parameters for the therapeutic ultrasound signal.

  • Publication number: 20230158284
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to a wound dressing which can generate nitric oxide. The wound dressing may include a cover layer, an activator layer such as an acid providing layer and nitric oxide source layer, such as a nitrite providing layer. The activator layer may include acidic groups and may be hydrogel, xerogel, or other suitable material. The nitric oxide source layer may include a nitrite salt. Nitrite ions of the nitric oxide source layer may react with the acidic groups of the activating layer to generate nitric oxide. The activating layer may include a window at the center, and a central absorbent material may be positioned at the window. Various separating layers may also be incorporated into the dressing to control the interaction between activating layer and nitric oxide source layer.

  • Publication number: 20230136007
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to a wound dressing which can generate nitric oxide. The wound dressing comprises a cover layer, an acid providing layer and a nitrite providing layer. The acid providing layer comprises acidic groups and may be hydrogel or Xerogel. The nitrite providing layer comprises a nitrite salt. The wound dressing may also include other layers, one or more acquisition distribution layers or masking layers. The masking layers can at least partially prevent visualization of the layer below the masking layer. Nitrite ions of the nitrite providing layer may react with the acidic groups of the acid providing layer to generate nitric oxide. The acid providing layer further includes one or more material layers to reduce the adhesiveness of the acid providing layer. The acid providing layer can also include perforations.
