Method and apparatus for attaching a negative pressure closure therapy system for incision was closed

摘要

A wound treatment system is disclosed. The system comprises: €¢ a flexible sealant structure (500) comprising an upper surface, a lower surface and an adhesive, wherein the sealant structure is adapted to seal around an area of tissue trauma; €¢ a passageway providing communication between the conduit and the area of tissue trauma for exposing the area of tissue trauma to reduced pressure; €¢ wherein at least a portion of the device exerts force onto the tissue for relieving tension on the area of tissue trauma, and wherein the device further comprises at least one force control element oriented along an axis of the sealant structure, wherein the axis is substantially in a transverse direction to an incision associated with the area of tissue trauma, the force control element being configured to provide control over an amount of force that the device applies to the tissue by limiting the amount of stretching that can be achieved by at least the flexible sealant structure. .
