  • Publication number: 20260151272
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peelable wound dressing system configured to maintain a controlled wound environment while enabling repeated access for treatment. The system includes a flexible base layer adhered to skin and a transparent peelable cover affixed by a resealable attachment mechanism. The cover is configured for multiple peel-and-reseal cycles, permitting wound inspection and treatment without removing the base layer. Optional features include antimicrobial agents in the base layer, anti-fog treatments in the cover, perforations or catheters for exudate drainage, and access pathways for lavage, infusion, or drug delivery. In some embodiments, sensor networks and wireless communication circuits are integrated into the cover or base to monitor wound and skin parameters, with power supplied by micro-batteries, passive RFID/NFC, or energy-harvesting elements.

The base is supported by, for example, a leg and/or the side walls of a wash tub. The leg pivots from a first position to a second position and/or has a length which adjusts to allow the leg to push against the surface of the wash tub. Moreover, the animal is placed on top of the base and may be groomed by the user while on the base.
