PORTABLE WOUND THERAPY SYSTEM Abstract A portable system (100) for subatmospheric pressure therapy in connection with healing a surgical wound, includes a wound dressing (102) dimensioned for positioning relative to a wound bed of a subject, a portable subatmospheric pressure mechanism (104) dimensioned to be carried or worn by the subject and a container for collecting exudates from the wound bed removed under the subatmospheric pressure supplied by the subatmospheric pressure mechanism (104). The portable subatmospheric pressure mechanism (104) includes a housing (116), a subatmospheric pressure source disposed within the housing (116) and in fluid communication with the wound dressing (102) to supply subatmospheric pressure to the wound dressing (102) and a power source mounted to or within the housing (116) for supplying power to actuate the subatmospheric pressure source. |
