Abstract: A stabilizer for stabilization of a position of a wound dressing or barrier disc (11) for use in negative pressure wound therapy, NPWT, or for stabilization of a barrier disc or wound dressing and/or maintenance of a drainage capacity of a wound dressing for use in NPWT is arranged to protrude from a surface of the wound dressing or barrier disc (11). A barrier disc (11) and a wound dressing comprising such a stabilizer are also disclosed, as well as a method for controlling the position of a wound dressing or barrier disc (11) in NPWT, and a method for maintaining or facilitating drainage from a wound dressing or barrier disc in NPWT.

Abstract: A device for reconditioning an internal body organ having or risking a functional failure or impairment associated with a fluid collection therein comprises a tube having a proximal end adapted for connection to a vacuum source, and a distal end portion having a plurality of openings. A chamber surrounds the distal end portion of the tube and the openings therein. A flexible material occupies said chamber and forms fluid connections between a selected part of an external surface of the chamber and the openings of the distal end portion of the tube. The selected part of the external surface of the chamber is adapted for contacting an external or internal surface portion of the internal body organ. Thereby, interstitial fluid of the internal body organ adjoining said selected part of the external surface of the chamber is sucked off from the internal body organ.
