DEVICES FOR APPLYING CLOSED INCISION NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY

摘要

A system to treat wounds, the system comprising:a sealant structure (1802) configured to form a sealed space around an area of tissue trauma, the sealant structure comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, and an adhesive;a suction source configured to be in fluid communication with the sealed space;an elastic element configured to attach to tissue adjacent to the area of tissue trauma and exert a force on the tissue adjacent to the area of tissue trauma to relieve tension on the area of tissue trauma; anda carrier structure (1803) removably coupled to the sealant structure, wherein the carrier structure is configured to maintain the sealant structure in a stretched state when the carrier structure is coupled to the sealant structure, and wherein the carrier structure comprises a set of ribs (1804) configured to provide rigidity to the sealant structure when the carrier structure is coupled to the sealant structure.
