Reduced-pressure system and method employing a gasket |
摘要 |
A reduced-pressure treatment system for treating a tissue site on a patient includes a gasket releasably attached around a perimeter of the tissue site that may remain in place for an extended time and allows an over-drape to be attached to it. The system and method further may include a manifold sized and configured to be placed in contact with the tissue site; the over-drape positioned over the manifold and sealed to the gasket to create a sealed space between the over-drape and the tissue site; and a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled to the sealed space to deliver reduced pressure to the tissue site. A method is also presented. |

1. A method for treating a tissue site on a patient with reduced pressure, the method comprising the steps of:
releasably attaching a gasket around a perimeter of the tissue site, the gasket comprising a thin polymer film having a first side and a second, patient-facing side; placing a manifold in contact with the tissue site; disposing an over-drape over the manifold and tissue site; sealing the over-drape to the gasket by a first attachment apparatus between the over-drape and the first side of the gasket to provide a sealed space between the over-drape and the tissue site, wherein a second attachment apparatus comprising an adhesive tape is disposed on the second, patient-facing side of the gasket for attaching around the perimeter of the tissue site, the first attachment apparatus being weaker than the second attachment apparatus; wherein the first attachment apparatus is a first adhesive and the second attachment apparatus is a second adhesive, and wherein the first adhesive is different from the second adhesive; and providing reduced pressure to the sealed space to treat the tissue site. |
