    摘要: Many embodiments of wound filling devices and methods of their use in systems for the application of negative pressure therapy are described herein. In one embodiment, a wound filling device comprises: an inflatable bag member having at least one fluid carrying conduit operably connected thereto to inflate/deflate said bag member; a separate textured covering sock member at least partially covering the inflatable bag member. Another embodiment comprises a three-dimensional wound packing member, and may optionally comprise a plurality of such members linked together. Certain embodiments of wound packing members may comprise a porous bag member adapted to be non-adherent to the wound. Yet other embodiments may comprise a non-porous bag member provided with means to connect a fluid supply to the interior.

    摘要: Disclosed are hybrid wound dressings that include at least one front layer of a hydrophilic absorbent material and at least one layer behind the front layer that is made of an open-celled polymeric foam made from high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). The hydrophilic absorbent material may be a natural polymeric material; a synthetic, non-foam polymer; or a material like glass microfiber. Each layer has a rate of fluid absorption and a capillary suction pressure (CSP) for a working fluid like blood plasma. The CSP increases from the front layer toward the layers behind the front layer, such that fluid is drawn away from a wound.
