    Abstract: A system for applying negative-pressure therapy to an abdominal cavity. The system comprises: a tissue interface comprising a first contact layer and a second contact layer, each of the first contact layer and the second contact layer having perforations formed therein. The system also comprises a spacer layer disposed between the first contact layer and the second contact layer, the spacer layer configured to extend to different zones within the abdominal cavity. The system also includes a first sensor associated with the spacer layer and configured to acquire data associated with fluid at a first zone within the abdominal cavity and a first wireless transceiver associated with the first sensor and configured to transmit the data to an external therapy control device.

    Abstract: A low-profile dressing interface or connector may comprise at least two side-by-side fluid pathways fluidly coupled to a recessed space of the connector, one for providing negative pressure to a tissue interface and the other for sensing negative pressure within the recessed space adjacent the tissue interface. The apparatus may comprise a top layer having a plurality of closed cells with tapered sidewalls. The apparatus may also comprise a base layer forming a sealed space between the top layer and the base layer. The base layer may further include a plurality of closed cells having tapered sidewalls. The apparatus may then further comprise a barrier coupled between the top layer and the base layer to form two fluid pathways within the sealed space.

    Abstract: A dressing for treating a tissue site, particularly a peritoneal or abdominal site, is disclosed. The dressing may comprise: a substrate; an adherent layer coupled to a surface of the substrate; and a fibrous layer comprising fibers coupled to a surface of the adherent layer opposite the substrate. Typically, the fibrous layer satisfies one or more of the following: at least 75% of the fibers are coupled approximately perpendicular to the surface of the substrate; at least 95% of the fibers in the fibrous layer have a length to diameter aspect ratio from about 10 to about 1000; and no more than 10% of the fibers are coupled approximately tangential to the surface of the substrate. Optionally, the fibrous layer may be formed by a flocking process. Methods of treating various tissue sites using the dressings and negative-pressure therapy are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Systems, assemblies, and methods for providing negative-pressure therapy to a tissue site are described. The system can include an absorbent and a sealing layer configured to cover the absorbent. The system can also include a blister fluidly coupled to the absorbent. The blister may have a collapsed position and an expanded position. A first check valve may be fluidly coupled to the absorbent and the blister and configured to prevent fluid flow from the blister into the absorbent if the blister is moved from the expanded position to the collapsed position. A second check valve may be fluidly coupled to the blister and the ambient environment and configured to prevent fluid flow from the ambient environment into the blister if the blister is moved from the collapsed position to the expanded position.

    Abstract: An apparatus for use in treating a tissue site with negative pressure, which may comprise a fluid path between a first end and a second end. The fluid conductor may additionally comprise a plurality of pressure indicators configured to indicate a pressure state between the first end and the second end. In some examples, the fluid conductor may be fluidly coupled to a source of negative pressure and a dressing, which can be configured to be applied to a tissue site for treatment with negative pressure.
