METHOD FOR PERCUTANEOUSLY ADMINISTERING REDUCED PRESSURE TREATMENT USING BALLOON DISSECTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system relating to tissue growth, and more specifically, a system of administering a reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site.SOLUTION: A tube 821 having at least one passageway is percutaneously inserted through a skin tissue of a patient to place a distal end 843 of the tube adjacently to the tissue site. A balloon connected with the tube is positioned adjacently to the tissue site, and the balloon is inflated to dissect and form a void adjacently to the tissue site. A manifold having a plurality of flow channels is delivered through the passageway to the tissue site. The manifold is positioned such that at least one of the flow channels is in contact with the tissue site, and a reduced pressure is applied to the tissue site through the flow channels of the manifold.
