System for wound therapy

摘要

In wound therapy, a combination of negative pressure therapy and subsequent therapy in a preferably moist or moist-wet medium without use of negative pressure reduces costs and improves therapeutic results. Thus, the present invention involves a method for treatment of a wound by therapy having a first segment, in which negative pressure wound therapy is performed, and a subsequent, second segment, in which wound therapy is conducted using a wound dressing without creating a negative pressure. The wound dressing for the second segment has an absorbent body with a superabsorbent polymer. The invention also relates to a device for conducting negative pressure wound therapy and a wound dressing for use in such method, and further to a kit including such a device and wound dressing.

主权项

1. A method for treatment of a wound on the human or animal body by therapy, said method comprising
i) a first segment of therapy, in which negative pressure wound therapy is conducted using a device for negative pressure wound therapy comprising a first wound dressing, wherein the first segment of therapy is terminated before visible granulation, and ii) a subsequent, second segment of therapy, which is conducted using a second wound dressing without creating a negative pressure wherein said second wound dressing comprises an absorbent body comprising a superabsorbent polymer and wherein said absorbent body is impregnated with a solution, wherein the second segment of therapy follows immediately on from the first segment of therapy.
