  • Publication number: 20220249293
    Abstract: A wound treatment system includes a wound dressing, a negative-pressure source, a light-emitting device, an image recognition module, and a control module. The wound dressing includes a housing with an opening, and a barrier layer with a conduit pathway separating the inside of the housing from the opening to form a receiving space. The negative-pressure source is fluidly connected to the wound dressing to remove tissue exudate of the wound. The light-emitting device is disposed in the receiving space, optically coupled to the barrier layer and can emit light of different wavelength bands as the detection light required by the image recognition module disposed on a side of the opening of the housing of the wound dressing and provide specific wavelengths of phototherapy required by different stages of the wound.
