Tissue roll scaffolds
Abstract:
An apparatus and system for treating a wound having a cavity is disclosed. The apparatus has a scaffold including a scaffold lamina and a tissue lamina wherein the scaffold lamina forms a laminate in fluid communication with the tissue lamina. The laminate is rolled into a generally cylindrical shape having two end surfaces. The apparatus further includes a manifold having a port for coupling to a source of reduced pressure and that is positioned in fluid communication with the scaffold to provide reduced pressure to the scaffold lamina and the wound. A method for treating a wound having a cavity is also disclosed and includes positioning a scaffold lamina adjacent a tissue lamina to form a laminate in fluid communication with the tissue lamina, rolling the laminate into a generally cylindrical shape having two end surfaces, and positioning the scaffold within the cavity of the wound.
