A suction system for removal of exudate from a wound comprises a wound cover which is attachable to a wound circumference of a living being thereby to form an enclosure, and a pump in fluid communication with the enclosure to provide a pressure difference between a negative pressure in the enclosure and an air pressure of an ambient space. A deflectable member is arranged such with respect to the enclosure that the pressure difference may cause deflection of the deflectable member, and a pressure sensing device is located outside the enclosure and arranged to provide a signal in response to the pressure or the deflection of the deflectable member. The deflectable member forms an essentially air tight barrier between the sensor and the enclosure.

A pump (1) including a control unit (4) is provided. The control unit comprises a housing element (9), a valve element (10) where the two elements are rotatable with respect to each other. The control unit can be set in three positions, a balloon inflating position, a reservoir bag pumping position and an air evacuation position. The control unit may comprise a spring release valve (20) for releasing overpressure in the system. The pump is adapted for use with a system for performing anal irrigation. A system for use in anal irrigation and a method for performing anal irrigation are also disclosed.

A pump for pumping fluid matter from a treatment site in or on a living being comprises three compartments. A motor-driven pumping element is provided for generating a negative pressure within a wound cover at or near the treatment site, and a motor for providing a driving force to the pumping element is provided in the a first one of the compartments. The pumping element is comprised in a second compartment, and a container for collecting liquid pumped from the treatment site is comprised or integrated in a third compartment. The second compartment is detachably connected to the first and/or third compartment, and the third compartment is detachably connected to the first and/or the second compartment.

A device for stimulating the healing of a wound comprises a separating means having a fluid inlet and a gas outlet. The separating means may constitute a collecting container for collecting fluid pumped from the wound. A pump for applying negative pressure comprises pump head and a drive unit. The pump head is connected to the gas outlet of the separating means, and the pump head is detachably attached to the drive unit, so that in use the fluid inlet of the separating means is connected to a wound cover, e.g. via a conduit.
摘要:
The invention relates to a foam dressing with a bevelled edge and where the density at the edge is higher than the density at the central part of the foam. The high density at the edges causes gel blocking of the wound exudate thereby preventing leakage of exudate through the edges. In a preferred embodiment the foam dressing is non-adhesive. The foam dressing may have a water-impervious backing layer, which extends all the way over the top of the dressing and down to the wound-contacting surface. The wound dressing is particularly useful in treatment of venous ulcers in connection with compression bandages, as the bevelling of the edges markedly reduces the indentations in the leg following use of this dressing when compared to a dressing with straight edges.

A canister, suction device and system for collection of effluents, in particular exudates, from a wound during vacuum treatment comprises a pump head (112) and a regulator (120) regulating the pressure in the wound (102) to secure a fixed treatment pressure. The regulator (120) may regulate the pressure by sensing the pressure in the wound and in response thereto control operation of the pump head. The regulator (120) may be permanently integrated in a housing of the canister (114) in a non-removable and/or non- accessible manner to exclude the possibility of setting adjusting the fixed treatment pressure. Air may be allowed into the wound if the pressure at the wound (102) is determined to be less than a threshold pressure.
摘要:
A wound dressing comprising a backing layer and an absorbent layer, wherein the absorbent layer comprises a wound facing surface and a non-wound facing surface, said absorbent layer comprises discrete foam pads covering at least 50% of the wound facing surface of the absorbent layer and wherein the non- wound facing surface of the foam pads are attached to the backing layer. The structure of the dressing renders it possible for the foam to expand during wetting without changing the external dimensions of the absorbent layer substantially.
