MECHANICAL VACUUM SOURCE FOR NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY AND GENERAL EXUDATE MANAGEMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a fluid evacuator for negative pressure wound therapy. The fluid evacuator comprises two main components, namely a container unit (A) and a functional unit (B). The container unit (A) comprises at least a container (14) for the collection of wound fluids. The functional unit (B) is adapted for controlling the pressure inside the container (14), wherein the functional unit (B) comprises a manual pump for creating a vacuum inside the container (14). Moreover, the functional unit (B) further comprising an electric pressure gauge for indicating the pressure inside the container (14).
