摘要:
A system and method for determining and tracking healing progress of a wound may include receiving a trace of a wound via an electronic display device and a wound depth measurement. A wound volume may be calculated from an area of the trace of the wound and the wound depth measurement. One embodiment may include receiving an image of a wound, displaying the image of the wound on an electronic display, enabling a user to generate indicia on the image of the wound, and generating trace lines between successive indicia to create a closed boundary that defines a perimeter of the wound.

A system and method for analyzing tissue healing may include an image capture device and a reference color marker of a predetermined color. A processing unit may be in communication with the image capture device, and be configured to receive image data from the image capture device. The image data may include image of a tissue site and the reference color marker. At least one image parameter may be adjusted based on at least a portion of the image of the reference color marker to normalize the image data. The normalized image data may be presented to a clinician.

A wound exudate removal and isolation system includes a porous dressing, a canister in fluid communication with the dressing, and a first valve positioned between the dressing and the canister. The first valve is positionable between an open position and a closed position. A disposal line is fluidly connected to the canister and includes a second valve that is positionable between an open position and a closed position. A pump is fluidly connected to the canister and is configured to draw wound exudate from the dressing into the canister when the first valve is open and the second valve is closed. The pump is configured to force wound exudate from the canister into the disposal line when the first valve is closed and the second valve is open.

Systems and methods for capturing and digitizing an image of a wound and/or a wound trace from a patient and determining there from a degree of change in the characteristics of the wound. A first embodiment includes a transparent/translucent film onto which a dark outline of the wound is traced. The film is fixed to a reference template that provides a geometrically defined reference area. The film/template assembly is imaged with a digital imaging device associated with a handheld digital processor (such as a PDA). The digital image of the template and the wound trace are analyzed to identify the wound tracing and quantify the area within the closed curve. A second embodiment includes imaging the wound site with a reference tag and viewing the image on a display with an associated graphical data input device. A trace of the wound perimeter is made on display with the graphical data input device to establish a data set for the wound perimeter. The data set for the wound trace and the reference tag are analyzed to identify and quantify the wound area. In each embodiment, the system includes a display for providing both a view of the wound trace and the calculated data associated with the wound area.

摘要:
A system and method for analyzing tissue healing may include capturing an image including a tissue site. A clinician may be enabled to define multiple regions of the image of the tissue site, where at least two of the regions of the image define tissue types at different stages of tissue healing. An area may be calculated of each of the at least two regions of the image defining tissue type at different stages of tissue healing. The calculated areas may be displayed to a clinician. In one embodiment, an image color adjustment may be determined by adjusting the image of the reference color marker to the predetermined color. The image of the tissue site may be normalized by applying the image color adjustment to generate a normalized image.

A therapeutic device for providing intermittent negative pressure wound healing includes a fluid mover, a compressible therapeutic member operably connected to the fluid mover and actuated thereby, the compressible therapeutic member operably disposably used on a patient in a manner to deliver therapy to the patient as function of actuation of the fluid mover and a controller for controlling application of a negative pressure to the compressible therapeutic member about a wound in a manner to compress the compressible therapeutic member using negative pressure to subject the wound and the compressible therapeutic member to a first predetermined pressure to maintain a seal between the compressible therapeutic member and the wound and decompressing the compressible therapeutic member to a second sub-atmospheric pressure above the first predetermined pressure sufficient to maintain the compressible therapeutic member in generally sealed contact with the wound.
