摘要:
The present invention relates to a device and method for removing edema from an edematous tissue. The device includes at least one aciculated component disposed in fluid communication with a suction manifold. A suction source is fluidically connected to the suction manifold to provide a suction force to the suction manifold. The suction force is transmitted through the suction manifold to the at least one aciculated component to withdraw the edema from edematous tissue through the suction manifold and the at least one aciculated component.

An external fixation assembly includes a plurality of hollow pins that are inserted into a patient's bone. Each pin has an interior bore and a plurality of apertures extending through the pin wall from the bore. The pin may be coupled to a source of vacuum pressure operable to create reduced pressure in the tissue surrounding the pin. A cover is placed around the pin and sealed to provide a fluid-tight enclosure that maintains reduced pressure around the pin. A method for applying external fixation using the fixator pins described above includes the steps of inserting each pin through a skin opening, positioning the pin apertures near selected tissue, covering the skin opening with a sealed enclosure, connecting the pins to a source of vacuum pressure, and activating the source of vacuum pressure to create reduced pressure in the patient's tissue at or near the bone.
