NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY ORTHOPEDIC DEVICE

摘要

A negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) orthopedic device (11) includes a base shell (13) and a dorsal shell (421) contoured to generally correspond to an opening (19) of the base shell (13). The dorsal shell (421) includes a proximal section (423) and a distal section (425). The proximal section (423) at least in part defines a receiving space (43). A NPWT system (91) includes a pump mechanism (97) secured in the receiving space (43) and a wound covering (101) situated inside of the base shell (13) and arranged to form a sealed volume over a wound area of a user. At least one conduit (95) forms a fluid connection between the wound covering (101) and the pump mechanism (97). The pump mechanism (97) is arranged to apply a negative pressure to the wound area through the at least one conduit (95).
