Abstract: A releasable connector for a negative pressure wound therapy system having a drape and a tube includes a base and a tube fitting. The base is configured to be coupled to the drape such that a substantially air-tight seal is formed between the base and the drape. The base includes a base locking member. The tube fitting is configured to be coupled to the tube such that a substantially air-tight seal is formed between the tube fitting and the tube. The tube fitting includes a tube locking member. The tube fitting is further configured to be selectively coupled to the base through an interaction between the tube locking member and the base locking member such that a substantially air-tight seal is formed between the tube fitting and the base.

Abstract: A wound debridement system includes a wound dressing having an active layer and a wound interface layer. The active layer is formed from one or more transmission layers that are arranged about a central post. Activation of the transmission layers is configured to cause the movement of the wound interface layer relative to a tissue site to which the wound dressing is applied. A drive unit is operably attached to the central post. The drive unit is configured to generate and transfer a vibrational energy and/or a rotational movement to the transmission layer(s) via the central post. The resultant vibration and/or rotation of the transmission layer(s) is imparted onto the wound interface layer, thereby effectuating the desired movement of the wound interface layer relative to the tissue site, which allows for the debridement of debris that may be located at the tissue site.

Abstract: A wound debridement system includes a wound dressing having an active layer and a wound interface layer. The active layer is formed from one or more drive elements arranged about a film layer, by which the drive elements are attached to the wound interface layer. Activation of the drive elements is configured to cause the movement of the wound interface layer relative to a tissue site to which the wound dressing is applied. The drive elements may include one or more drive members formed of a material having a shape memory effect configured to transition the drive members between expanded and collapsed configurations and/or one or more motors configured to translate or oscillate the active layer. The wound interface layer may be formed having an abrasive wound-facing surface, such that the movement of the wound interface layer causes a mechanical disruption and debridement of debris at the tissue site.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, an apparatus for treating a tissue site may include a contact layer formed from a compressible material. The contact layer may include a plurality of apertures extending at least partially through the contact layer. The contact layer may be configurable such that at least a portion of the apertures include a first plurality of orifices having a diameter in a first diameter range and such that at least a portion of the apertures include a second plurality of orifices having a diameter in a second diameter range. The first diameter range may be from about 2 mm to about 6 mm. The second diameter range may be from about 8 mm to about 15 mm. The apparatus may include a cover configured to form a sealed space including the contact layer and the tissue site.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for disrupting material at a tissue site is described. A contact layer may be selected for use on the tissue site and positioned adjacent to the tissue site. The contact layer may include walls defining a plurality of through-holes. A sealing member may be positioned over the contact layer and sealed to tissue surrounding the tissue site to form a sealed space enclosing the contact layer. A negative-pressure source may be fluidly coupled to the sealed space. The negative-pressure source may supply negative pressure to the sealed space and the contact layer to draw tissue into the through-holes to form nodules. The negative pressure may be vented from the sealed space to release the nodules.
