    Abstract: A therapy system for treating a tissue site with negative-pressure therapy and/or fluid instillation therapy in response to information received from a diagnostic module is disclosed. In some embodiments, the therapy system may include a dressing, a negative-pressure source, a container, and a diagnostic module. The dressing may be adapted to be placed on the tissue site, and the negative-pressure source may be adapted to be fluidly coupled to the dressing. The container may be adapted to be fluidly coupled to the dressing and to the negative-pressure source and to receive fluid from the tissue site. The diagnostic module may be adapted to be exposed to gas associated with the fluid from the tissue site. The diagnostic module may comprise a sensor configured to detect a condition of the tissue site and to generate an output based on the detected condition. The sensor may be configured to detect a volatile organic compound. In some embodiments, the diagnostic module may be positioned on the container.

    Abstract: Tissue dressing materials and associated methods of forming such dressing materials are disclosed. In one example embodiment, a dressing material may include a foam and a film formed on a first side of the foam. The film may be integrally-formed on the side of the foam. The film may include a plurality of apertures. A method of making the dressing material may include placing a pre-polymer mixture and water into a mold to create the dressing material comprising a foam and an integral film on at least one surface of the foam. The method may further include forming a plurality of openings in at least the integral film, with the openings being formed within the mold or subsequent to removal of the dressing material from the mold.

    Abstract: A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure may comprise a first polymer film having a plurality of fluid restrictions, and a second polymer film comprising a plurality of standoffs disposed adjacent to the first polymer film. The first polymer film and the second polymer film may be substantially transparent to allow observation of the tissue site. In some embodiments, at least some of the standoffs may be offset from the fluid restrictions. The second polymer film may comprise fluid passages adjacent to the standoffs in some examples.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods related to a connector for a dressing, such as a dressing of a hyperbaric oxygen therapy system. An example of a connector includes a connector body configured to define at least a portion of a first channel. The connector also includes a viewing member coupled to the connector body. The connector further includes a deformable member positioned within the first channel. The deformable member is configured to deform based on a pressure associated with the deformable member and to provide a visual indication, via the viewing member, of the pressure.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and dressing are presented for treating a tunnel wound on a patient. In one instance, a reduced-pressure, tunnel-wound dressing includes a longitudinal core member formed from a closed-cell foam that is surrounded by a first longitudinal concentric member formed from a manifolding material. When subjected to reduced pressure, the longitudinal core member expands and the first longitudinal concentric member compresses. These actions create intimate contact between the tunnel wound and the dressing, oppose collapse of the tunnel, and when reduced pressure is removed provide clearance to remove the dressing. Other embodiments are presented.

    Abstract: A multi-layer dressing for treating tissue with negative pressure, instillation, or both. In some embodiments a first layer may be formed from reticulated foam having a series of holes. A second layer disposed adjacent to the first layer may be formed from a perforated polymer. The dressing may optionally include a third layer formed from a soft polymer, such as a silicone gel. The third layer may also have perforations or apertures. The third layer is generally oriented to face a tissue site, and may be disposed adjacent to the first layer so that the first layer is disposed between the third layer and the first layer. The perforations or apertures in the third layer may be registered with one or more perforations in the first layer.
