METHOD FOR SIMULATING NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND TREATMENT AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING NEGATIVE PRESSURE WELDING SYSTEM USING THE SIMULATION PROCESS

摘要

A method of simulating a negative pressure wound treatment for a negative pressure wound treatment system comprising a dressing and a vacuum source, the simulation method comprising the steps of: - covering a cavity simulating a wound with the dressing, - placing the cavity and the vacuum source in fluid communication by means of a fluid circulation circuit, - generating a subatmospheric pressure in the cavity under the dressing, - measuring a leakage rate in the fluid circulation circuit, - issuing a warning signal representative of an exceeding of a flow threshold by the leak rate in the fluid circulation circuit.
